Local tip
An early arrival allows time to explore Souk Madinat’s shops, gardens and canals before the reservation.

The Meat Co. Souk Madinat Jumeirah is a South African-inspired steakhouse set beside the waterways of Souk Madinat Jumeirah. The restaurant focuses on steakhouse dining in a setting that combines a meat-led menu with the atmosphere of a traditional-style Arabian market.

Its position in the Jumeirah Promenade Area places the restaurant beside the souk’s canals, with views towards the Burj Al Arab. The waterfront setting gives the dining room a relaxed, scenic character, while the terrace offers an outdoor option close to the canal. The surrounding souk includes shops, gardens and walkways, making the restaurant part of a wider evening destination rather than a standalone dining stop.

The restaurant’s style suits diners looking for a more considered steakhouse meal, whether for a dinner, celebration or group occasion. The setting works particularly well for guests who value the surroundings as much as the food, with the canals and Burj Al Arab creating a distinctive backdrop. The menu is centred on steakhouse fare, reflecting the venue’s South African roots and its focus on quality meat-led dining.

The location is also equipped for private events. Corporate gatherings, launches, birthdays, baby showers and other celebrations can be hosted at the venue, with the canal-side setting providing a polished backdrop for larger occasions. The restaurant’s layout and professional event service make it suitable for groups as well as smaller dinners.

The Meat Co. Souk Madinat Jumeirah is located below Costa Coffee in the Jumeirah Promenade Area, Al Sufouh 1, Dubai. Visitors travelling from Abu Dhabi can combine a meal with a walk through Souk Madinat’s shops and gardens, or a canal-side visit before or after dinner. An early arrival is useful for taking in the surrounding market-style setting before the meal.
