Positive Indicators

  • Listed with 'Halal Options' on a well-known food guide.

Points to Consider

  • Pork is served in the restaurant, which creates a risk of cross-contamination.

Our Recommendation:

If you choose to dine here, it's a good idea to speak with the staff about how they prepare their halal dishes to avoid any mix-ups with non-halal items. Suppliers and practices can change, so we recommend verifying with the restaurant directly for peace of mind.

Is The Meat & Wine Co halal certified?

The Meat & Wine Co in Southbank is not halal certified itself. However, the restaurant states that their meat suppliers (excluding pork) are halal certified and that the meat is slaughtered according to halal practice. They serve alcohol and pork, but can take precautions to clean cooking areas if you notify staff of your dietary needs when ordering.

Do they serve alcohol or pork?

Yes, they serve both. Pork ribs and other pork items are on the menu. As their name suggests, they also have an extensive list of wines and other alcoholic beverages.

Is the meat hand slaughtered (zabihah)?

We couldn't find any information to suggest that the meat is hand-slaughtered (zabihah). Given that they serve non-halal items, it's best to ask the staff for details about their meat suppliers if this is important to you.

Are there prayer facilities nearby?

The restaurant does not have a prayer room. The closest confirmed prayer facility is the Queen St Musallah (Mosque) at Level 2, 131 Queen St, Melbourne, which is approximately an 8-10 minute walk (about 870m).

Can they accommodate large Muslim family gatherings?

The restaurant is spacious with multiple levels and can host large groups. However, given that they serve pork and alcohol, you should consider if the environment is suitable for your family and discuss any concerns about food preparation with the management when booking.
