Overview

When I first caught wind of Mjølner, a Viking-themed spot tucked away on Hardware St in Melbourne, I had to check it out. Seriously, stepping through those wooden doors felt like stepping into a whole different era — and, honestly, who doesn’t want to dine like a Norse god every once in a while?

The vibe? Just fabulous. Picture spacious levels filled with contemporary Scandinavian design and hints of historic Viking grandeur. It’s cozy but upscale, kind of like curling up with a warm blanket while sipping a fine whisky — oh wait, you can do that here too. With a whopping selection of over 600 whiskies and an impressive cocktail list, you’re in for a treat.

Now, let’s talk food. Mjølner specializes in both modern and traditional cooking techniques, so you’re bound to find something that tickles your taste buds, whether you’re a meat lover or more inclined to dine vegetarian. The venison was an absolute standout, but just so you know, you might wanna skip the potatoes—they’re a little underwhelming.

Had a bite with some pals, and we went for the Viking feast! They were super accommodating of our friend’s dietary needs, making sure everyone was included in the experience. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like part of a community, even as strangers at a common table.

What’s cool, too, is that the wait staff are genuinely friendly and knowledgeable. From the moment you arrive—probably greeted by a shot of some sweet mead—you’re treated like royalty. They really want you to have an unforgettable night.

Though, I have to admit, the music felt a bit off. While we were hoping for some authentic Scandinavian tunes drifting through the air, we got a mix that seemed more contemporary. A little disappointing, but it didn’t ruin the overall experience. Maybe they should consider a themed night? Just a thought!

All in all, Mjølner is a must-visit if you’re ever in Melbourne. It’s not just another restaurant; it’s an experience wrapped in an adventure. Perfect for a date night, a birthday celebration, or just a casual dinner with friends. Don’t forget to make reservations, though — it can get busy.

So, if you fancy indulging in one of the quirkiest dining experiences in town—complete with picking your own knife and sipping from a horn—head to Mjølner. It might just change the way you view dining out!
