mjølner

had one of the worst hospitality experiences i can remember, the service was poor and the attitudes of the staff members we encountered we unbelievably bad, ruined our night.

really hard to find haha sorta like a hidden gem! but the vibe is just so good, you can choose a knife as a weapon and can also choose to drink with a horn!

fantastic themed venue, decor, food, beverages & service were all exceptional. highly recommend sampling whiskey from thor's hammer! great for groups or couples with shared dishes including vegetarian.

shame that neiuw amsterdam closed down but this is a treat place too. can border a bit gimmicky but the excellent service and food makes it all worthwhile.

love this place! took my mum here as a surprise as she loves anything viking, and we were both blown away! the service, the decor and the food were amazing. this could have been tacky, but it worked really well. i will be back to taste more from the impressive drinks menu for sure!

from the outside in this alleyway, you might be mistaken in thinking its closed. as soon as you push that wooden door, the decor catches your eye.its all viking themed with shields, helmets, hammer and more all around you. the wait staff were very attentive and gave good suggestions. the food came out and not only was it presented well, but it tasted amazing. i just had good envy everytime i saw the giant bone marrow come out.
great place for date nights or with friends. massive selection of cocktails.
a great fun night out with great good! well done!

i took my husband here for an early 30th birthday dinner. he loves vikings and such so i knew this was right up his alley.
the restaurant was tastefully decorated (not overkill) and had a really warm cosy feel to it. music was thankfully not too loud so you can have a conversation yet it contributed to a good vibe. staff were super friendly and helpful.
they don’t have baby high chairs or allow strollers because of space restrictions. kids are welcome though.
the beef rib was amazing and the star of the night. the brussel sprouts that came with it were really tasty. we had the chicken too. it was very well cooked but wasn’t anything unique to other restaurants, in terms of taste. if you like chicken, then go for it but don’t expect the “wow” taste factor. we had the potatoes and cauliflower as sides. the cauliflower was delicious. potatoes were good too but nothing overly special.
my husband is picky with nice dining/sophisticated menus , but he could not fault mjølner. he left feeling full and we did not have to do a maccers run afterwards. wished they had some chocolate on their dessert menu.
my mocktail was $18- had i known i wouldn’t have ordered it (i don’t normally order mocktails so this could just be the general price across the board)
overall a great experience and my husband is already planning to take his brother here.

most disappointing experience we have all had. if you appreciate price matched with quality and service go somewhere else. dishonest and rude service. bill is double than what you would expect for what you get. time and money we will never get back!

fantastic experience overall - right from the ambience to the decor to the plating and food options. real vikings feel everywhere. the starters were to die for! we ordered the bone marrow and burrata and then drank whisky with the bone marrow - what a thrill! dinner was fish in chowder soup, steak and short rib. the short rib was outstanding however the fish was salty and the steak was a bit overdone. the only main complaint was the service - took forever to get menus and the drinks.
however, great experience overall, slightly pricey but definitely worth a visit at least once.

solely went here for the novelty viking-factor and it definitely did not disappoint!
bar menu was extensive and serving sizes were that of a viking. definitely glad we managed to go all out and order dessert too, the bombe alaska was fantastic - even though i’m not a huge fan of mandarins.
only wish that there was a tasting plate so we could be able to try more of the meats as smaller portions and try more accompaniments!
a little noisy, but it adds to the ambience making you feel like you’re dining with vikings.
will definitely back for a few drinks

great place for a unique experience! (get the bone marrow and a beer you wont be dissapointed). everything was fantastic. but the only thing is you dont get what you pay for in terms of food quality and quantity.

this place is legit. i’ve been once just to the bar and got the cheese platter and cocktails. scored a table for a christmas dinner which was so cool. so much food to share. cocktails flowing. shots on fire. 🔥 don’t waste your money on the expensive alcohol - concentrate on the food!

love the concept here and you get to select your own weapon of food destruction! will definitely come back as we want to try other dishes, the marrow was delicious !

can i just say oh my gawd! i've wanted to try this restaurant for a while but i completely for forgot about it until this week and boy am i kicking myself for forgetting about this place.

the restaurant is a gem. from the ambience of the restaurant to the accommodating staff and the delicious meal we were served i will definitely be back!

i won't go into the interactive dining experience as believe it's a nice surprise for new diners experience.

starters: venison lion
i wish i ordered two! this was absolutely amazing with mushrooms and the complimenting crunch of the potato crips i definitely recommend this!
please note - potato crips are cooked in the main fryer so may contain traces of gluten

main: wagyu rump
perfectly cooked steak, the smoaky onion puree complement the meat perfectly a long with the pickled onion
(ceoliac friendly)

main: feature - pork (i forgot what it was called)
i have to admit i was a bit hesitant as a fair few places overcook their pork. i was wrong and glad i ordered it! it was beautifully cook and served with a parsnip two ways (roasted and puree). a perfect share dish and for me it was the star of the night for me, but that's because i'm a sucker for pork crackling!
(ceoliac friendly)

sides: broccolini and potatoes
potatoes were so soft and fluffy and the broccolini was paired with a capsicum puree (i think) which gave it a nice kick.

dessert: bombe alaska
a nice way to end a meal the tartness of the sorbet complements the sweetness of the meringue. normally served with a shortbread base but i opted for the gluten free version which was some sort of cracker base.
(ceoliac friendly - if shortbread is replaced)

my advice? order some beer (or wine) and go with some friends or a special someone because there is nothing better than amazing company and delicious food.

oh and choose your weapon wisely 😉

update take 2

yep i came back!! and i wanted to share!

new entree: naked clams, scallop and prawns.
this buttery seafood goodness! add a squeeze of lemon to balance the dish out perfectly with an added picked something (not sure what it was but man it was goooooood)
ceiolac friendly if you ask!

feature: lamb with peas and pea puree.
if you're like me and dislike peas, don't that deter you from this dish, the perfectly cooked lamb with the crispy salty skin was to die for!
ceiolac friendly!

😍😍😍

(i'd have probably gone with a 3.5, but zomato have, for reasons i can't explain) removed that option.
i can't complain about the food but i probably could have done without the wanky explanation about whether the restaurant is "viking themed" or "viking inspired" at the beginning though (i actually can't recall which one it was because i didn't care).  fairly pricey, but i guess them's the breaks.

we went with the chicken (whole) and the beef short-rib with potatoes for mains.

chicken was nicely cooked but without a huge amount of flavour beyond "chicken". the short rib was beautifully cooked and excellent (not many places do a good beef rib).  potatoes were served with a cheese-based sauce and were servicable.

i feel like the meats could do with a little more accompaniment on the plates; the few pieces of lettuce strewn about the chicken and the (admittedly tasty) charred sprouts that came with the beef probably could have done with some help.

dessert was a fairly plain custard tart and the bombe alaska.

the tart was of good consistency with a nice firm base but there wasn't much to write home about.  the bombe alaska (mandarin-based) was pretty tasty, even if the attempt to set it alight and "leave it to char for a bit" failed miserably.

if you're after a solid, slightly over-priced meal, with a massive amount of alcohol options and a bunch of norse-themed paraphernaila around, go for it.
