Meatmaiden, CBD MELB

Am a big fan of casual dining whereby guests do not need to go over the top in terms of dressing nor assume pretentious behaviours with dining etiquettes. Meatmaiden is one of the many places that offers diners this convenience and with a bar located in the restaurant itself, I came to understand why there were a couple of cheerful bloke groups celebrating buck's night there.

Chopped beef tartare, egg jam and heirloom beets - delicious and very moreish indeed.

Saltbush lamb shoulder, smoked tomato and confit garlic - WL likes his meat dishes and so, we decided on ordering a few of the bigger meat dishes to share. Not a bad dish although it did have a very strong gamy taste.

If I remembered this correctly, this was the wagyu rump which came with a small pot of jus - well grilled and seasoned.

Eye fillet - yet another well grilled and seasoned piece.

Fries, rosemary salt and aioli - what is a steak without its trusty potato companion.

Dessert was a molten lava cake - very decadent and not a bad way to end the meal.
