Went looking for a nice lunch place during a recent visit to the exhibition centre and after discounting a few in the South Wharf precinct, stumbled across the Meat Market. What a great choice. Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable service in a very relaxed & unique setting. They really have put a lot of effort into the decor here and it matches... More

Went here for dinner on our first night in Melbourne when we were very tired. The food was great and because we sat at the open kitchen bar it was also very interesting watching the chefs cooking and learning about the best way to cook a great steak. The service was very good and the wine list was extensive enough... More

Arriving on a business trip from India with all the veggie stuff I was hungry for a nice piece of meat and a nice cold beer - and I got it. The menue is mainly focused on Steakes, as one may expect in a restaurant called Meat Market. The food was well prepared in an open kitchen right in the... More

Ate on a Saturday night, service was ok if you take into account staff seemed to fumble through a bit, but happy to accept with new staff everyone has to start somewhere. The staff didn't detract from the experience, drinks service was very good. Food was cooked and presented well, steak was excellent. Other half had chicken which was deemed... More

We just ate the worst lunch we have ever had. I ordered a roast sandwich for $18.50. Knew it was very expensive but expected it to be amazing for that price. The sandwich had stale white bread with raw red beef on it, only cooked around the edges. The beef was cold. I could only eat the cooked parts of... More

From the outside the restaurant looked appealing. It's in a nice location on the Yarra River a little away from the main action. The service staff were friendly but obviously all backpackers from various parts of the world - not experienced wait staff. The menu was very limited and basic. When the food arrived it was dreadful. Tasteless and seemed... More

We were looking for another restaurant for lunch during our weekend stay in Melbourne and did not find it but came upon this one at the end of South Wharf Promenade. Service was good. The only drawback was not enough beef/steak to choose from the menu even it was supposed to be a place to get a good steak. My... More
