Newcastle’s beloved MEET restaurant, known for its authentic Brazilian Churrasco experience, is officially on the market after a decade of culinary success.
The owners, Mitchell Steel, Greg Mathew, Luciano Cruz, and Daniel Pires, are ready to pass the baton to the right buyer while ensuring that the restaurant continues to thrive in its prime location at the northern end of Darby Street.
Importantly, MEET is not closing. The current owners are committed to ensuring a seamless transition, with the full management and kitchen team ready to stay on board if the new owners choose.
For the past ten years, MEET has been a standout in Newcastle’s dining scene, pioneering the transformation of its precinct into a bustling hospitality hub. With its signature open-fire cooking and vibrant atmosphere, MEET has become a go-to destination for food lovers seeking an immersive and authentic dining experience.
The owners had always planned to reassess their involvement after a decade, and with growing families and other business ventures, they believe now is the perfect time to step aside for fresh leadership.
Despite a changing economic landscape, MEET remains a strong performer with a dedicated customer base and a solid reputation. The restaurant has become a sought-after venue for weddings, private events, and large functions, offering multiple function spaces that continue to draw high demand.
The sale presents an exciting opportunity for an incoming operator to build upon MEET’s success and take it to new heights. Whether maintaining its current direction or bringing in fresh energy, the restaurant is well-positioned for continued growth.
Potential buyers interested in acquiring MEET can contact Brad Wallace of Raine & Horne Newcastle for further details. Until then, it’s business as usual at one of Newcastle’s most beloved dining institutions.
