The Meat & Wine Co

Still the One. Now with Summer finally upon us here in Sydney, it's time to come out and relax, and enjoy life's pleasures. For me, it eating out in Sydney. Enjoying a good steak, with perfect chips, is always high on my agenda, and if this can be… Read more

bundled with spectacular views, a modern dining room, and excellent service...well, the decision is easy. Meat Wine and Co is my choice. I've actually been dining at their Castlereagh St store through 2025, because of the very convenient parking across the road, but I miss the ambience of their Barangaroo store. Their Express Lunch is still available, (up $7) at $49 per head, this includes a two course meal and a drink. The menu has expanded since my last vist, and now boasts a Lamb Shank, but my wife and I were focused on our favourites. For starters, we had calamari, served with a heavenly citrus dipping sauce, and bruchetta, with a wonderful basil frangrance vinigarette. We had our hearts set on the rump steak and pork ribs, but I noticed more new options.....Wyagu Burger, and Steak Sandwich.....I couldn't resist! Wifey had her rump, and I went the steak sanga...both served with the best chips in Sydney. Apple juice for her, and a 4 Pines Pale Ale for me. We decided to enhance our lunch further with sides of mushroon sauce, and pepper sauce (extra $5 each). The rump was great as usual. Cooked to perfection, pink and juicy inside, and charred crispy at the edges. My sanga was 7/10 not because of the quality or taste, both of which were 10/10, but I thought it was difficult to get my mouth around it.....It was hardly a sandwich, but more like a roll. The meat was lovely though a little thick for a sanga, which in turn made it hard to take a clean bite (chew off). The BBQ sauce was excellent and really matched the juicy beef.... I suppose I could've used my knife and fork, but....it's a sandwich! Service was lovely at first, (by what I think was a new trainee), and turned brisk and efficient when taking our orders. We were served by at least 3 seperate waiters/staff....I think having a single staff member is actually a bit more personal....but hey......this was Express Lunch, Hahaha. I'll be back in a month or two for my Meat Wine & Co fix!

Late afternoon dinner for 5 family members.. What can I say? The food exquisite, the steaks like none other, simply mouthwatering superb, the service and staff operating like a well oiled machine! Quite possibly the best dining experience I’ve had in Melbourne in 10yrs! Thank you! Show details

Almost embarrassed, thoroughly enjoyed it! – Today was my birthday (undisclosed age) and my lovely niece arranged a gift voucher for me and my wife. Nestled in amongst the high rise at Barangaroo, with a wonderful view of Darling Harbour, Maritime Museum etc. The Meat and Wine Co, is a standout for all the good reasons. The view is exceptional, the service is personal and unobtrusive (Just… Read more

the way I like it), and the food is....well what can I say? Just wonderful. We shared a calamari entree...and wondered how the talented chefs got the squid so tender, with a crisp batter, served with pickled cucumber and a spicy sweet chilli dipping sauce. Next was the rump steak. This is my favourite, though the chicken kebab and pork ribs are great too. Paired with the house red, a shiraz, it was a perfect lunch. The decor is definitely up-market, modern with a touch of nautical themes. No wonder this restaurant was packed for lunch today! (Monday). My wife, let slip, (to the waiter) that it was my birthday. At around 1:30pm, at the height of the lunch service, our waiter ferried a beautiful slice of cake, adorned with a sparkler, whilst singing Happy Birthday....(cringe)...LOL.

So good, I went twice in two days – Set back, yet unobstructed Harbour views greet you as you enter the upstairs dining room. You are entering the rarified world of fine dining in Sydney's Barangaroo distirct. Meat and Co have found a marvelous location, near the base of Sydney's Crown Casino. The decor exudes contemporary nautical, dark timbers yet expansive light from the Harbour.… Read more

The ambience is modern upmarket, the service is excellent, and the food......well the menu says it all. Whilst certainly not a daily splurge, it deserves multiple visits to sample the wide range of fare. I was invited yesterday by my friends to join them for a post covid catch-up. It's been a while since we all saw each other. Our party of six opted for the restaurant's Lunch Express menu. Two courses $42 or three courses for $49, each includes one drink of your choice. From the entree list we ordered bruschetta, calamari, roast belly pork......I must admit, each one of these, was a solid five star starter. You will enjoy them. Bold statement, but I will stand by it. The bruschetta was covered in what I think, was a whipped Buffalo mozzarella, adorned with lightly dressed cherry tomatoes and fresh basil......heaven. The calamari was a surprise.....no spindly legs here, but thick and juicy fresh squid tube chunks, in a delightful crust served with lemon and a dipping sauce....Wow! The roast belly pork, sticky and tender, slow roasted pork, just the way you imagined it to be, perfectly marinated and inviting to you palate. For mains we had Rump steak with your choice, chips, whipped mash, or salad, this was excellent. Described as 250g 150day grain fed grilled to perfection with a marble score 2+. You can believe it. Skewered Portugese Chicken with caramalised oinion, and you choice again of aforementioned sides. This was the literal standout, as it is served on a vertical hanging skewer with your sides residing below. Certainly a very popular dish judging by the other diners also enjoying this. BBQ pork ribs, slow cooked, and char-grilled finish in a smoky BBQ basting marinade. Faultless. Steak Tagliata, char-grilled steak (sliced), slow-roasted tomato, shaved Parmesan, wild rocket and chimichurri. This was my own choice and personally, I thought the chimichurri could've been a little more bold, however, the steak was true to the cuisine and was as good as you'd get anywhere in Buenos Aires. Poke Bowl......I'm not a fan, but my colleague demolished her dish. We each had a drink which was included, Pironi, Heinekein, Coke, Juices, and House wines which I can recommend the red....so delicious. I was so impressed, that I brought some overseas guests today, and again enjoyed the great atmosphere, impeccable service, wonderful views, and of course the food. Congratulations to Meat and Co, you've got a winner here.
