mjølner

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.
therestaurantwas 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.

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

therestaurantis a gem. from the ambience of therestaurantto 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 therestaurantis "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.

a somewhat belated post today for arestaurantthat deserves better! the menu may have changed, but i’m sure the quality hasn’t. if the marvel movies haven’t gotten you up to speed, mjolner is the name for none other than thor’s majestic hammer. it also happens to be the name of a viking themedrestauranton hardware lane, the second after the venue first became successful in sydney.

vibe & service is excellent, food is excellent, but felt some of the mains were overpriced, $75 wagu steak didn’t command the price.

we had a friend unable to attend dinner & we were charged a $50 fee, pretty disappointed given therestaurantwant booked out or even busy

thisrestaurantis super cool, kind of hidden/tucked away in redfern. we got complimentary shots as soon as we sat down which was great. the broccoli was to die for!! it’s super tasty and crispy, highly recommend even if you don’t like broccoli! the roast bone marrow was a tasty starter which went well with the bread. for mains, the rotisserie chicken and pork belly were both huge portions and tasty! my favourite drink was the northern lights- a bit tangy and fruity, super yummy and enjoyable. overall very good price and value for the portions of food and a nice different twist on foods!

this viking themedrestaurantwas a pleasant experience post lockdown. i had planned my birthday dinner here and it was nothing but impressive. for the first timers, it could be a bit of a task to find this hidden behind a medieval themed door. as soon as you enter, you have a welcoming entryway dazzled with candles. for starters, we were offered with complimentary drinks in horn shaped glasses. food was great, we went with few cocktails and a snapper which was not only appealing to eyes but also delicious. this one is definitely must for second visit in my list.

it was great to have dinner out again after lock down. therestaurantis viking themed... great environment practicing social distancing and good hygiene practices. had to fill out online questionnaire re: covid-19. great service, we started with a complimentary cocktail which was nice. awesome food, meat was so tender and flavours were excellent. great beer menu drinking from horns was interesting. over all great place.

my partner took me for our 1 year and we had the best time! the staff lean into the atmosphere and make for a really great experience! the food was the best i’ve ever had in arestaurantand the whole experience was 100/10

if you have watched the vikings then this needs to be on your bucket list. viking themedrestaurantwhich goes all the way - including serving shots and drinks in traditional viking style. food is very rich and meat heavy, consistent with theme. food is very tasty and cooked well. however, i think it is a tad overpriced for the food, remember you are paying for the experience. a place where i think is great to check out and provides a great night out. not a place which you would go regularly....

in celebration of our 8th anniversary, we were looking for somewhere nice to go. its become a bit of a tradition to go out somewhere special for our anniversary as you might have seen in last years post for 360 bar and dining. following our trip to melbourne where we had visited the bar section of mjolner, our friend suggested that we go to mjolner sydney (mjolner melbourne also has both therestaurantand bar). i made the booking online, which after a few plan changes was easy to update.

i think we spent at least an hour at the museum before heading back to the cbd in search of mjolner, a viking themed bar.

mjolner has two sections to it. arestaurantupstairs and a bar downstairs. just a warning this place is quite expensive but fun as a once-off. my friend ordered a cider in a horn! the drink looked epic. when your getting to the end try drinking from the side so an air pocket doesn’t form, causing it to spill everywhere. i ordered the fog of war which arrived with sorbet and pop rocks. the pop rocks made this into such a fun drink. my partner also ordered a fire that was quite strong tasting but delicious. this came with a piece of dark chocolate that brought out another level of flavour to the drink........

4.5

very impressed by this viking themedrestaurantand really loved the interior ! service was pretty attentive at the start but did get a bit inattentive as the night got busier . we got the bone marrow , burrata and the lamb to share - the lamb was a really huge serve and we were pretty full what we didn’t order any dessert ! the theatrics of drinking a shot through the bone marrow was really fun, so was the drinks you can order in the viking horn

awesome viking themed restaurant. super fun experience - hidden undergroundrestaurantwith no sign (booking essential for restaurant!), waiter gave a complimentary toast in a horn cup and provided a selection of knives to choose from to cut our meats with. service was prompt with meats cooked perfectly, sauces were used where appropriate with no fancy unnecessary components. dessert was okay with an interesting 'parfait' that consisted of cream & gummy candy like chews

arrived on time and waited 10 mins at the welcome desk before anyone acknowledged us. i had to walk up to the pass before i was told someone would be with us shortly.

once we ordered drinks, we'd just started drinking them and one of the staff took a half drunk drink for our table and gave it to another table. apparently was a miscommunication and he thought we didn't want it, but took a while for him to apologize. i think the other table kept drinking the drink even though it was half drunk.

we ordered quickly, ate fast, but still were told our booking time was up and we couldn’t order desert and would have to move to the bar. we spent a long time waiting for our table and for food to arrive.restaurantwas only half full when we arrived. they either need to speed up the time it takes to get food to the table and seat customers or extend the booking time.

food was average, didn’t feel it was worth the price. we were talked out of ordering 4 mains for 4 people and left hungry. really enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks, but not enough to recommend therestaurantto others due to the service and food.
