Fine Dining: Mjølner

A dining experience more than anything, Mjølner is a Norwegian-themed fine dining restaurant decked out in Viking décor and Scandinavian design. Rather than a set menu, there are five options for the main dish: bird, fish, vegetable, or two beasts. Plus, Mjølner offers elegant starter meals such as oysters, roast bone marrow, and venison loin. Don’t leave without a nightcap from the connected speakeasy.

Pub Food: The Local Taphouse

A great Australian pub is going to have daily specials for food, cheap beer on tap, and reliable chicken parmesan. That’s where The Local Taphouse swoops in and claims the title for best pub meal in Melbourne. It’s a cozy restaurant with wood panelings on the inside and a menu full of comfort in the form of burgers, steaks, and beer. Heaps of beer. Check the events page before you visit; there’s usually weekly comedy, trivia, or live music.
