Genuinely faultless food and service. Very very generous portions, accommodation made @ late notice for a vegetarian with additional meals provided for the banquet. So much food we took home quite a few take away containers (don't judge - food waste is a terrible thing!). This was a first time for me and I'll be back for sure.

Very nice restaurant decor, excellent service and delicious food. Convenient location at the border of Chinatown. We had dinner that included Peking Duck, a pork appetizer and seafood main with fried rice. All cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Dim sum is only served mid-day, so will return to try it out.

If you're even in Melbourne for a holiday or a local, you're life won't feel as fulfilling until you've experienced Meatmaiden, I can't make this up! The food was impeccable, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere is second to none. If I could afford it, I would go every night.
