mjølner

booked a week or two earlier. they didn’t mention anything about confirmation email or msg. they got my number but didn’t bother to inform me anything. it was my friend birthday and we even booked a dessert with a candle (they took her name too). on the day, what we got was booking wasn’t there and the manager was like that is not his fault 😂 he blamed us for not asking confirmation email 🤷🏻‍♀️ poor customer service!

didn’t even get to try this place because they didn’t even bother locking in our reservation. we called a week ago and they said they can lock in a booking for 3. we rocked up and they said we didn’t have a booking. apparently our info was in but no booking. and they didn’t even bother to do anything. goodbye. never coming back again.

mjolner is a one of a kind restaurant. expect the unexpected and bring your viking spirit!!

great atmosphere in the dining area and love the surprises and special details. it’s the little things that make it a fun experience for me😆

food wise- really flavoursome, juicy and very meaty so ensure to grab some sides with your mains! carrots with lentils were great, but potatoes with the goats cheese was very overpowering (but that’s just me), still very much enjoyed it.
cocktails were bomb, highly recommend the northern light, although i do believe this is one of their favourites.

would recommend mjolner 👍🏼

interesting medieval nordic venue with perhaps more attention given to the theatrics than to the actual food. it definitely wasn’t cheap but the servings were decently sized. we had the short back rib which was as tender as can be, the wagyu which had a beautiful smoky flavour and little crunchy piece of rice, and the goats cheese potatoes which were ok. the tables are quite tightly packed and our group of 6 felt a little close together. before the meal, the waiter brings out a range of knives to choose from. we would have been fine with a regular serated knife. it wasn’t a bad experience although the menu was quite limited and i couldn’t see myself rushing back.

what an experience!!i took my fiance to mjolner for his birthday, we both had a wonderful time. the service / hospitality was great (thank you, erin), there was amazing attention to detail with decor and ambience, the food was a little pricey but fresh and well prepared and the selection of drinks won't disappoint.upon arrival, we were offered a complimentary shot of 'stone' as a toast. i then later ordered another two shots of the same. mead infused with honey and vermouth - delicious!
the 'weapon of choice' (where you choose your own knife) is such a unique concept that you won't find at many restaurants. make sure you choose one with practicality in mind, otherwise it may be difficult to use (i know from experience now, haha)!personally, i really enjoyed the bone marrow. it was full of flavour and later, the bone was converted into a whiskey luge where the inside was fired with a blow torch to liquefy the fat then whiskey poured down, which adds smokiness and extra flavour.i won't spoil the rest but highly recommend visiting mjolner for an occasion or even something different to change up the usual restaurant experience! next time i'd like to take a group of friends and order the set menu for $70 per head!

i would recommend mjolner for those who have not visited, however, i must say i enjoyed the theme and the internal decor a lot more than the dishes themselves! loved the cutlery and glassware in the restaurant and you can really tell how meticulous they are with the fixtures. we ordered the lamb chump special and while the portions were generous, it was a little lacking in flavour. had to douse it in pepper for a little bit of help! likewise with the bone marrow - a pretty hard to find dish in melbourne but nothing too special.

fun dining experience. visited last year for my boyfriends’ birthday. we both loved it and the staff were extremely friendly (also great sense of humour!) and accommodating even though we took some time with our orders.

definitely good for a date night or an occasion. food did not disappoint.

we visited restraurant on australia day and firstly they charged us a 15% surcharge eventhough on there menu it stated 10%. we went in a group of 4 and ordered the set menu. for entree we got salmon, which was tiny, venison; which was also minimal and then we got some mushrooms with some cream cheese; pretty average stuff. then finally we got the mains which was fish, with all the bone in it could rarely get the meat out, chicken which had no flavour or marinate and the ribs which was ok but really oily. then for the sides some potatoes which cream on top and some carrots with lentils, no real flavors in either. i was expecting alot more from this restaurant but it was a real let down and really overpriced, paying an extra $50 because of public holiday too just made it even worst.

the service at mjolner was excellent! two of us ordered the bone marrow which the way they cook it is very unique, definitely worth to try! the features lamb was delicious, i loved the smoke flavour in it with a bit of fat rather than just lean meat. downstairs has a quite nice bar with booth available and heaps of drink options.

highly recommended! if you are looking for something fun and entertaining, here is the place. food is also amazing yet creative. definitely try the bone marrow, very interesting. it was very tasty and the service was good. i love dining with a difference, and this definitely has that appeal. i highly recommend.

great find! it was a fun restaurant to dine at. service was so good here very attentive and friendly all throughout. it's a viking them restaurant, the decor is very nice. food is also amazing yet creative. definitely try the bone marrow, very interesting experience. it's a good place to come with a few friends. absolutely loved our experience. i highly recommend.

if you're looking for a spot to spend good money. well, this is the place to do it! the food was absolutely delicious and you get a lot of food. you gotta love a restaurant that offers guests to pick knives before meals start. roast bone marrow is so good and goes well spread on a slice of rye bread. even the vegetable is so delightful. the staff and the owner clearly has a passion and craftsmanship. it was a memorable and unique experience. would love to go back here.

new potatoes taste and smell like unwashed socks. the sauces of the beef rib is a little weird, too salty. service is average. oysters had little shells left.

ambiance: amazing decor and atmosphere. it can be child friendly too. very warm yet viking dining style. perfect for gathering with friends or family.

food: amazing! portion can be quite big as few of the dishes was meant to share. the marrow is good but portion is kind off small not enough for the toast that they serve. the beef ribs is so tender and tasty,
and the duck is succulent. corn with chicken fats is ok but ntg extraordinary.

service: friendly, energetic team.

price: reasonable for the amount of food and joy you’ll get from dining here. highly recommended

if you’re looking to spend some good money, this is the place to do it! this trendy and unique restaurant is based on nordic style of eating. it truely is an experience, so you really get a lot for your money! the food was absolutely delicious and you get a lot of food, trust me you will be full. i like that you can choose your own knife which they present and they also give you welcome shots!
