Great lunch at Pinchy’s. We had the tasting plate which had 2 starters, and 2 mains (each). Excellent way to try out lots of things on the menu. The lobster roll and the prawn latsu were absolute standouts but everything was so tasty. Some reviews I read said it wasn’t good value and people left hungry after ordering this but I tend to disagree. I thought it was a good amount and didn’t leave feeling too well. Will definitely recommend for the spot and the eats!

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.

Finally got to eat here after seeing into the buzzing restaurant a few times. Very nice staff helped us to work out the routine (select and pay for meat and fish) then taken to our bbq. Many different sauces and small dishes arrive. We really enjoyed the wagyu beef and the eel. The kimchi was fine, not too spicy.
