Trackside at the Australian Grand Prix, it’s not just engines that’ll be roaring. Formula 1 fans are about to discover that the real pit stop is at Madeline’s, the latest venture from the team behind Mr. Miyagi, serving up French flair with a cheeky Melbourne twist.
Part of the 30 venue culinary line up transforming Albert Park across the high octane weekend, Madeline’s is making its Formula 1 debut and doing it with serious style. Think Parisian comfort food reimagined for life in the fast lane.
The headline act? Shake Le Steak. Golden crispy frites layered with tender seared steak and drenched in rich Café de Paris butter, all sealed inside a signature shaker. Then comes the fun part. You shake it. Hard. The result is every chip and every slice coated in glossy, herby, buttery goodness. It’s steak frites turned into a full blown interactive experience.
“We have a long history of taking traditional cuisines and giving them our own modern Melbourne twist,” says Kristian Klein, founder of Mr. Miyagi. “With Madeline’s, we’re bringing that same energy to French inspired dishes, and the Shake Le Steak turns steak frites into theatre. It’s playful and becomes just as much about the experience as it is about the food. We can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on it.”
There’s more where that came from. Shake de Chook swaps steak for juicy grilled chicken breast. Maddie’s Cheeseburger delivers Aussie beef, Swiss cheese and secret French mayo on a toasted potato roll. Fried Chicken and Frites with tarragon crème fraîche rounds things out.
Madeline’s will be shaking things up all weekend long at the 2026 Formula 1 Grand
