this place is fantastic! i secured an early booking in the restaurant and rocked up at the required time, was ushered into a cosy nook with a handful of tables of 2. very cosy!
from being seated, the menu was explained and we were offered complimentary drinks (mead or non-alcoholic).
we ordered cocktails, the bone marrow, then the short rib, pumpkin dumplings and a side of brussel sprouts to share.
the bone marrow was a very generous serve for sharing (2 halves), smothered in, what i think was a bit of vegemite and roasted to fatty perfection before sprinkled with "meat dust" and sprigs of herbs, served with sliced dark rye.
after that we were presented with a leather knife holder and was asked to "choose our weapon". i chose a knife with the most decorated handle. pretty.
the short rib was absolutely amazing. fatty, fall apart tender in a savoury jus. i cannot recommend this dish enough!
the pumpkin and ricotta dumplings were light and delicious, cheesy potato and ricotta balls in a pumpkin sauce with sauteed tuscan kale.
and the brussel sprouts in balsamic vinegar were also a standout, the outside leaves deep fried until brown and crispy leaving the inside perfectly cooked.

we didn't have dessert on this occasion and contemplated having a second drink, however our 2 hour booking was coming to a close, so unfortunately, our viking adventure was over.

can't wait to go back, and next time, will definitely check out the hammer!

came here on a monday night and it was very busy. nice to get a complimentary shot drink at start. theatrical setup and you can even take a photo with the props. food was great.

i came here to celebrate a birthday over the weekend and it was an enjoyable experience, the ambience first of all is amazing. everything was true to the vikings theme from decor to cutlery, to the utensils for dining.

the food itself was good. we ordered the banquet menu since there was a large group and had a variety of food. i would not mind returning to try other dishes on the menu. i think a highlight would be the entree with the raw salmon. i ordered fog of war for my cocktail and i liked it, tasted like a calipo!

we also got to pick our utensils (knives) and although it looked fancy, i wish it was sharper. we really struggled to cut through our meat.the shot glasses were adorable and drinking out of a horn looks easier than done. 

drinks are on the pricier side explaining our large $2k bill but overall, i would come again for the experience.

what an experience! the food was mind blowing, we got the set menu at $70 a head, we got the sample almost everything off the menu. the bombe alaska was the star of the night it was insane!!
the meats are just perfectly cooked and seasoned with delicious flavours, the whole atmosphere was amazing

came here about 2 weeks ago after a spur of the moment change when our group of 6 became 8 and our first dinner venue couldn't accomodate. i was very pleasantly surprised that mjolner could and we happily ended up here! i'd wanted to come here ever since it first opened and will be sure to visit again for a longer sit down dinner as we were pushed for time once we settled in (pre-comedy drinks/nibbles). 

ambience is fantastic as is the attention to detail. service was attentive, extremely accommodating and even gave us all a round of a shot on the house as a welcome gift. i loved the signature horns (which act as glasses for drinks) which add an ornate and authentic touch to your visit. the menu in the downstairs bar was a little limited with a few bigger sized dishes to share between a few people but mostly compromised of charcuterie meat and cheese platters. the special dish on offer being a sourdough cob lamb stew. food looked amazing when it arrived and was delicious. i loved the rye breads which were on offer with both the cheese boards and the bone marrow dish i ordered. dishes didn't take long to be devoured and everyone left full, happy and satisfied - keen to return.

good food and amazing vibes! really liked the pre-meal drinking ritual.

we ordered the bone marrow, venison lion, short rib, waygu steak, cauliflower and potatoes. and finished off with the bombe alaska and malt parfait. all the cocktails were delicious and service was also really good.

defs recommend “blazing glögg”!

mjolner is one of the best places i’ve eaten at. the speakeasy plays along with its viking / thor theme very well. in terms of food, service, interior design and theatrics, everything was perfect. upon being seated, you are provided with a complimentary drink out of a horn shaped shot glass.
i highly recommend this place!

amazing experience. very different to most restaurants i’ve dined at and the service here is quite spectacular. restaurant is very unique with their ‘viking’ atmosphere. it was my second time here and it did not disappoint. i would definitely come here again.

a group of about 5 of us stopped here for a few cocktails after dinner. it was not that busy, but yet it still took a long time for a waiter to come to the table and for our drinks to be served. the cocktails were ok but nothing to get excited. the waiter spilled one all over our table and my friends jacket.

it also took a long time for someone to give us our bill. we had some people paying cash and one person paying for their drink via card. the waiter just gave my friend the eftpos machine, with a brief comment about doing the transaction and splitting out the bill herself and walked off never to be seen again. luckily we werent too under the weather from too many cocktails and were able to work it out. is this standard practice?? for the cost of the drinks, surely the waiter can press a few buttons himself??

we were not impressed really. we waited a while for him to come back but he never showed to collect the money or the machine. we ended up leaving it on the table as we had to go. really hope no one from the other tables nicked the cash or got my friends card details. we actually could have walked out without paying and no one would have noticed. luckily we're not that dishonest. sub par service, wont be back! go to eau de vie!

recommend! everything we had was a delight except for the oysters, which left a very oceany taste. we had the bone marrow, gravas, short rubs, wagyu and the fish. finish off with waffles and meringue. i love the rnb background music. ambience felt fun and lively. would come back!
con: group of 4, table was way too small, considering we had a few mains and side dishes to shared, felt very tight and uncomfortable. chairs were also very uncomfortable

mjolner is all about the experience. the food isn’t the best especially considering the price, however the experience is worth a one time dining.

unfortunately we had the less exciting waitress of the 2 on the night. though we were able to listen on from the table beside us - who had the more pleasant waitress, ours rushed through the welcoming and menu. despite this, it was still an amazing experience.

for entree, we had the famous roast bone marrow. the bone marrow was amazing, especially a hit for vegemite lovers!! however, the cold and dry bread that came with it couldn’t have been worse 😣

we ordered the ribs and wagyu. both were absolutely amazing! particularly the crunchy component and the pickled onion on the wagyu.

for our sides we ordered the new potato and cucumber. the cucumber was such a good decision as it cut through the richness of the sauces and gave that extra fresh component to the meal. the potatoes on the other hand, we weren’t such a fan of.

overall, it was an amazing experience, however with the limited menu we’re unlikely to return again.

a viking-themed restaurant with delicious food and a great atmosphere. this was my first time to mjolner - the boyfriend has recommended it multiple times since we started dating as he loves it here. we had the bone marrow for the starter. this exceeded my expectations and it is a sure favourite - i will definitely order it again. we shared 2 mains - pork belly and rotisserie chicken, and 2 sides - baked potatoes and brussell sprouts. didn't expect anything over-the-top with the mains but they were quite filling and they did satisfy. the sour cream with the baked potatoes were fantastic and i had to ask for more. never had brussell sprouts before my visit - can't say they'll be a regular in my kitchen but i didn't mind them. the size of the sides are big enough to share 1 between 2 people (waitress did mention this, but we greedily ordered 2 anyway!) we thought they could've had better choice of music - maybe something more viking-like rather than 21st century r&b. i had mentioned in my opentable reservation that the booking was for a birthday (my boyfriend's). didn't think much of it but then my boyfriend got a little gift from the staff which was a nice touch to our visit. overall 5/5 would recommend.

be prepared for the theme - they go all in with the viking vibe, whether you’re toasting the old gods or choosing your weapon to dine with. whack on your pointiest helmet and enjoy!

mjolner in a few words - experience beats the food. meaning yes, the food is great, but it’s the experience here that makes your dinner fun and amazing. i won’t spoilt the fun events, you’ll have to try for yourself.

the staff are really friendly and accommodating.

we ordered three entree dishes; the gravlax, the baked clams, scallops & prawns and the infamous bone marrow. all the dishes are recommended as they all stood out in their own way. all quite hearty dishes.

for mains we chose to rib eye to share. this was a winner. so tender and juicy. a must try.

for dessert we opted to share the bomba alaska which i didn’t like as much. personally i don’t like meringue as i find it too overly sweet and sickening but i must admit i did order it to see them flame it up before hand 😅

defs a great date night choice.

mjolner would have to be one of my favourite top list of restaurant! the food the decor and the service! really great atmosphere. food was all very delicious. loved everything about this place. i could not fault it at all.
