Excellent restaurant! 🔝 5 🌟 for the baked cauliflower By far one of the best cauliflowers I have ever eaten in my life. My first experience in this restaurant chain was in Canberra in December 2025. I returned for the delicious cauliflower and to taste the famous steaks. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and at the same time the staff was attentive to our needs. I recommend this restaurant! Visited in January 2026
We dined at The Meat & Wine Co at Circular Quay and overall had a really enjoyable experience, though with a few caveats given the price point. We ordered the tomahawks, truffle mac and cheese, bread and garlic bread, beef tartare, and tuna sashimi. The bread on its own was solid, but truly elevated by the selection of butters served alongside it. The tomahawks were very well cooked and full of flavour — definitely a cut you should order rare or medium-rare to really enjoy the tenderness. The truffle mac and cheese was rich, indulgent and unapologetically cheesy — a crowd-pleaser. The standout of the night was the beef tartare. It was beautifully balanced, with subtle crunch throughout that added texture and made each bite genuinely exciting. The tuna sashimi, however, was underwhelming in comparison — not bad, just forgettable next to everything else. Service was relaxed yet professional, striking a good balance without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was a highlight: warm lighting, an almost safari-inspired aesthetic, and a lively but comfortable dining vibe that suited the space perfectly. That said, while the food was good, it’s hard to say it fully justifies the price. I would come back because the quality is there, but the pricing would need to feel more competitive for it to become a regular spot.
We had a lovely dinner at The Meat & Wine Co at Circular Quay and really enjoyed the evening. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the safari theme and the decor, which looks very premium and high-end. It is a beautiful space to sit in and the lighting creates a nice mood. For our meal, we ordered the garlic bread, prawns, chicken skewers, and the barramundi, plus a few cocktails. The food was okay overall. The prawns weren't bad at all, the skewers were actually really good and well-cooked, and the barramundi was fine. The cocktails were also a nice addition to the meal. The customer service was definitely a highlight as the staff were very professional and attentive to our table the whole time. While the place looks fancy and looks the part, it felt like it lacked a bit of a lively vibe or energy during our visit. However, the dining experience was good overall and it is a great spot if you are looking for a nice environment and good service.
Food Absolutely beautiful presentation of the food, it so perfectly cooked and tasty. Many options for cocktails and alcohol. From the entrees to mains and dessert the food was just absolutely amazing. The restaurant price are on point but the caliber of steaks and quality of the sides Excellent service from the time we enter into the restaurant. We felt very welcomed to the meat and wine co. with a beautiful table setting next to a fire. Staff were super friendly and attentive at all times. Our server was super nice to us, great customer service. This is a place i cam without a doubt would recommend and will definitely visit this place again. What you get is a 5 start service and food.
The restaurant is beautiful and creates an aesthetic atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious and worth the $ especially the safari menu. The service was incredible, specifically lora (I hope I’m spelling that right). She was incredibly welcoming and accomodating. She explained the menu beautifully and was very very friendly. Constantly checking up on how our meal was going, creating conversation and refilling our drinks before the glasses would be emptied even though it was a very busy night. As it was my birthday she even brought out a crème brûlée with a little birthday message written in chocolate on the house for me and sung me happy birthday. 10/10 service.
