Came by for dinner as we had just come from the Southbank DFO. It is one of the many restaurants lining the river in this area. We had options of sitting inside or out, and we opted for in. The outside area was on the riverside so it is quite a nice place to eat if it's not too hot.
Quite a few food options, both for meat eaters and non-meat eaters. I had the grilled corn and the halloumi skewers. We were seated next to the grill and it was nice watching the chefs grilling and then dressing the food. The food was tasty but thought it was on the pricey side. Unsurprisingly, it is suited for carnivores.
it was a really nice environment with a great view, the food was great and it came fast. The cauliflower fries were my highlight, but the rest of the sides were probably a bit pricy for the serving size. Otherwise, the steak was cooked well but the medium well was a bit undercooked. It was good how the kids food came first, and the rest of the wait time was great too. Overall the staff were nice and the ambience was great, with lovely decoration. There wasn’t a specialty dish or anything that would urge us to come back again but it was a good experience nevertheless :)
With a maitre d showing you to your table, Meat Market is definitely a grand place.
Ordered:
🥩 250gm grain fed scotch fillet: with mashed potatoes, green beans and red wine jus ($29.00)
+ 🍹 lemon lime bitter
Review:
Scotch fillet is a good cut of steak, especially when you have it cooked medium! Can be considered blasphemy for some, but medium is awesome for me.
The mashed potatoes was soft and creamy, with the green beans adding that crunch and texture.
The fat on the scotch fillet steak was cooked just right that it gave you a savoury punch; the flavour making your stomach feel so happy and full.
As others have mentioned, the service is a bit difficult. Especially when I was sitting outside with my friend, getting her attention ended up with me chasing her down and back into the main restaurant haha.
$30 is definitely a bit exxy for lunch though...but worth for a once in a while treat 🥳.
