Melbourne's Best Meal Delivery Services

I've tried a couple of readymade meal companies, and Lifestyle Mealprep probably offer the most 'homely' tasting food. Portion sizes are great, lots of variety and options to customize is definitely an added bonus.

I used their custom build for my meals this time around. You get to choose the types of animal and the exact portion, as well as all the different veg you want and how much of each. I chose 300g of peri peri grass fed beef with 450g broccoli, cauliflower and squash. Exactly what i wanted and tasted great.

Taste was great. I chose them as the offered alot of gluten free options which is hard to find. Value for money was ok. Would be better if I could buy single meals from a local shop

I love my muscle chef meals. They are delicious and they last a long time in the fridge/freezer. This is incredibly helpful for a health care worker who does shift work.

The food was tasty and convenient to reheat from frozen. Everything tastes surprisingly good despite looking a bit like food you'd expect to find in a retirement village. Most meals lack salt taste wise though, but that might be because they are trying to keep the sodium levels down. Also some of the sauces, like the bbq one on the meat balls gets a bit congealed in the reheating process and doesn't cover all balls, so you get some without any sauce and others smothered in a really thick sauce. Also packaging is often broken when purchased from supermarket just because of the type of plastic containers used. Overall I thought it was pretty good, mostly for the convenience.

The food was tasty, nutritious and very reasonably priced with free delivery. The only negative was that portions were incredibly small and I found some of the dishes with chicken did not use breast meat, but rather fatty, sinewy meat.

They are disability and ndis friendly but need more variety - very paleo and meat based. Wish their was a more local provider with more veggie and plant based options that could use with ndis

We started using Dinner Ladies after having our first baby who was demanding and never gave us time to cook. We got into bad food habits and Dinner Ladies saves our meal times and waistlines. We have placed numerous orders and will continue to. The delivery service is very good with texts to tell you when they are a couple of stops away. We have loved most of the food we have tried and like that there are some classics to return to whilst having a variety of new dishes each time. In terms of packaging - there is plastic used but they are constantly trying to improve and make it more sustainable and you can leave out all the delivery packaging for them to collect when they deliver your next order.

We have been ordering Hello Fresh boxes off and on for years, just to give us a bit of variety and so that we don't have to think about what to cook all the time. The recipes are easy to follow and we have rarely had a meal that we didn't like.

Marley Spoon have great customisations and varieties in their recipes, and good portion sizes too. Never issues with service either, as Ja Rule once said, they are always on time.

Be Fit food is so convenient. I have been to the Mornington store and it's always well stocked and the service is amazing. Bit more expensive but well worth it.

My favourite thing about chefgood is that they provide salads and wraps! Most food companies only provide meals which require heating. In hot summer weather, a hot meal is the last thing I want to eat after a long day at work! The freshness and quality of the products is definitely worth the extra $$$. A few things I don’t like: 1. Paying for delivery (delivery should be free over $100) 2. Turn around time between placing and receiving an order, a week in advance is too far out!

I love the ease of Dinnerly. Good veg options however sometimes the quality of veg isn’t that great but it’s mostly good. Delivery is always on time, email notifications sent

I tried Lite n Easy for a few weeks to see if I could lose some weight. I found it was good overall but stopped because the weight loss was slow and the cost was too high for me at that time.

Some of the meals were great, sone were difficult to eat due to tough, dry meat and undigestible green beans. Unlike other providers, the meat needed to be cut with a knife which can be messy with the small plastic containers. Not enough sauces which made some meals quite dry and sometimes bland. Sauces or dressings were inside the container in separate plastic containers when included which was messy. Some meals weren’t big enough, they are smaller than MMC meals

I love that these are meals that would take some serious time to cook as there are so many different ingredients in them. They’re not simple or basic meals in nature and they’re delicious so I’m not thinking I could’ve easily made it myself when I’m eating it! So really convenient, variety of ingredients is worth it. They’re not super cheap but taking into consideration what you get and the convenience of it it’s so worth it.

I initially chose the service because it catered for my dietary needs, however the service stopped servicing the majority of their FODMAP friendly options. The nutritional profiles are great for the meals however and this makes me want to return to the company.

Amazing customer service and the price is good for great ingredients. Nothing artificial etc. Taste is somewhat basic though. Also not sure how often they change up their meals in terms of variety

More veggie meals would be good - There's not much unless you eat fish and chicken. I loved the pancakes - so delicious and keep great in the fridge. Some instructions on if the meals could be frozen would be helpful.

I enjoyed these meals especially the curry! I think they are probably priced a little high compared to the other brands I’ve tried value wise. Would love a little more variety and flavour.

Terrible One of my meals was mouldy and a few meals had raw beef! The meals were delivered at 1 am in extreme heat and when found on the doorstep at 7am it was no longer cold if it was in the first place. The management did not believe me, despite me providing them with photographic evidence and offering for them to come and collect the contaminated food to have it tested. The management would not refund me. They are extremely arrogant and rude. Very sad experience and terrible customer service, an absolute waste of money. I paid for contaminated food and was not believed or compensated. I really wanted to support this company and loved the way they came across on the website, they seemed to know what they are doing but please don't risk it. Currently being investigated by food health authorities.

Great variety of tasty dishes. Perfect portion size (weightloss) and great on convenience of course. Love that I can have on hand, grab and go when times are limited andchaotic.

Meals were fresh and tasty, just a little too small for my liking. The chicken portion was acceptable, but I usually have 500g veg with my meals also and all I got was a hand full of green beans.

Great tasting, unfrozen, meat an vegetable options, which is what I appreciate in a meal prep provider. I chose soley animal and non starchy plant based options, as that is what I wanted my dinner meals made up of.

As someone who has used all of the meal kit providers available in my area, I can honestly say that PepperLeaf provide the freshest produce out of all of them. Period. The quality of the meat, poultry and fish is wonderful. The fruit and vegetable are great too. I’ve kept one of their meal kits in my fridge for over two weeks only to find it still very fresh. Definitely not short cuts in quality at PepperLeaf. I found the PepperLeaf meals to be very healthy and good portions for weight loss compared to some of the other meal kit providers. As well as this, the meals were tasty and easy to prepare. Any delivery issues (through no fault of PepperLeaf) were dealt with and rectified promptly. Also, I received free fruit with my order! Awesome!
