Looking for Steak places?

Had a great dining experience at Meadesmoore tonight! Ordered a few dishes to try out their menu and every item had me wanting for more after the next bite.

We ordered a burrata to start off (also because I love burrata haha), which was served with a lavendar balsamic sauce, giving the dish a unique twist as you can taste hints of lavender at the end. They were also very generous with the heirloom tomatoes, which were so juicy and fresh!

We also got their steak as mains - the first bite really blew our minds with its intense flavour. I could taste applewood, giving the beef a smokey flavour but still not overpowering the natural taste of the meat. The waiter informed us that they dry age their meats to achieve this intense flavour profile, which was really interesting. Personally, I really enjoyed the flat iron cut, which was really tender yet still rich in flavour.

For dessert, we had the pavlova and cheesecake crepe, both of which were really unique and good too. The pavlova was sweet and sour served in a martini glass. Hidden within the meringue was lime sherbet, which paired beautifully with the meringue and sweet fruits. The cheesecake crepe was very creamy and I felt like I tasted some blue cheese in it too. Serving size was rather huge though - I think it’d be perfect to share for 4 pax.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their desserts, but Meadesmoore has shown that they are able ensure quality in all of their dishes, right from the starters all the way to their desserts. Service was also great, with the servers readily available to attend to us and accommodating to our needs. I would definitely recommend to check out Meadesmoore for special occasions!

The meal was enjoyable from start to finish, with a refreshing burrata salad enhanced by pomegranate and perfectly roasted mushrooms that paired well with both caramelised onions and the steak. The steak was tender, flavourful, and best enjoyed on its own to savour the subtle applewood aftertaste. Dessert was a highlight — beautifully presented in a martini glass with a sweet-sour balance, and the cheesecake was brûléed table-side for a nice touch. Overall, the cosy ambience, great food, and friendly, attentive service made for a memorable dining experience.

They have a neat 'happy hour' menu until 6pm that includes sides for $4 and tea/coffee from $1. I tried the mac n cheese, fried platter, and iced teh o - all of them were not bad and worth the price, especially if you're just whiling the time away. For mains, we got the 200g Chargrilled NZ Silver Fern Striploin ($28) and the Pork Collar ($21.50). Pork collar was tender and came in a substantial portion, while the steak was decent. We had olive rice, brussel sprouts, brocolli, and mashed potatoes for sides - out of these, the mashed potatoes were our favourite.

Overall, service was friendly and polite, ambience was also nice as the outdoor area was still cooling.

Chic restaurant and attentive staff who explained the in-house fermenting processes. The lumina lamb loin was perfect doneness and accompanied by flavourful sauces.

Had a wonderful dining experience at this place! The steak was perfect and melt in the mouth. 10/10 would recommend! Ended the meal with tiramisu, which was rich and creamy.

Nice To 🥩 You!

It's been a hot minute since I have been back at Fat Belly and their steak is just as good as I remembered!

For starters, look no further than their Raclette Cheese ($18) with Toasted Sourdough ($6) served with a side of salted butter. Such an indulgent number! The gooey melted cheese was so shiok and comforting with the saltish crisp bacon bits studded in the mix. The slices of sourdough were crusty and fragrant too, the perfect thing to mop up all that rich goodness.

Moving to the star of the show, the steaks arrive with a robust crust from the open flame and together with salt, garlic confit and mustard sauce - each cut was grilled to pink perfection with that deep, smokey char. The Australian Full Blood Wagyu MS 8/9 Denver ($65) was bolder in flavour and rather beefy. The Denver cut with the more rectangular, block-like shape had a more uniform marbling which I personally prefer. It was simply rich and juicy. With the more tapered and triangular shape, the American Wagyu MS 6/7 Picanha ($55) had higher marbling and glossy fat rendering. Succulent with that yummy seared fat cap - providing that added layer of buttery decadence.

Don’t sleep on the sides because the Pomme Puree ($10) was super silky smooth. The velvety mash was executed wonderfully with plenty of butter and cream. The charred Fried Brussels Sprouts ($14) were so moreish as well! The sweet-savoury garum caramel with crunchy seeds gives that much-needed oomph.

All in all, ignoring the fact that Serene Centre is still undergoing renovations, it is a really nice spot for some solid steak.

This is my first visit to French bistro restaurant Josephine and I tried their weekday Set Lunch ($34) which comprised of your choice of starter, main and dessert of the day or coffee/tea.

For starter, I picked Sea Bass Ceviche. The lime marinated raw sea bass with basil, onion and yellow pepper coulis was tangy and refreshing.

I ordered Duroc Pork Belly for main and the slow confit pork belly melted in my mouth and was absolutely delicious. Love that the skin was crispy and it went very well with the garlic crushed potatoes and piperade - couldn’t get enough of this!

Dessert of the day was a slice of Apple Pie and it was not too sweet - a delightful way to end lunch.

There is also a $28 and $44 set lunch. Although the set lunch was pricey, the food was really good - enjoyed this thoroughly!

Food was amazing! The Salmon Tartare was fresh and flavourful with a nice caviar touch. The Lumina Lamb Loin was perfectly cooked, tender and packed with flavour. Loved the Lampino Iberico too — juicy, tender and paired so well with the sauce. Also, special shoutout to the warm sourdough bread that came with an incredible homemade butter — so good we could’ve eaten it on its own! The staff were super friendly and took the time to explain how each dish was prepared. Great experience all around, would definitely come back!

After wnating to visit for months I finally went to Meadesmoore for dinner and really enjoyed the experience! The ribeye was cooked perfectly , it was flavourful and juicy, and the balsamic mushrooms made a great pairing. It was everything I expected from this highly reviewed place! The wagyu tartare was a nice starter, but honestly, the pavlova dessert was my favourite—so refreshing and not overly sweet. A must visit for meat lovers and dessert fans alike.

Loved this dish! The scallops were well-seasoned and not at all rubbery. The tomato cream sauce was rich without being too heavy, and the radish slices added a refreshing crunch. Pasta could’ve been a little more al dente for my liking, but overall still satisfying.

Would return just for this!

The plating was gorgeous, and the portion generous. The seabass fillet was nicely cooked with crispy skin, though I personally wished the skin was just a touch more salted to bring out the flavour.

The added pieces of deep fried fish skin were unnecessary to me. Plus, it was not crispy.

The asparagus was a great pairing—tender and fresh. The sauce had red pepper taste and more abundant than past reviews suggested (a win for pepper lovers!), but as someone who isn’t big on pepper, the strong infusion wasn’t to my taste.

Caviar was alright—adds a nice touch visually, but don’t expect high-grade quality. Overall, a decent dish if you enjoy pepper-forward sauces.

The steak melts in ur mouth!!
