Lover it! Great place everything was awesome, but the food and staff was absolutely top notch! AmIng place highly recommend it!
Super friendly, enthusiastic and efficient staff. They really added something to the enjoyment of the evening. The food was fabulous, we chose banquet style that was $70 per head and was an excellent way to try lots of dishes for our first visit. Generous portions and their ribs are to die for, literally sliding off the bone. We are keen to visit again and will choose our own menu on the next visit, now that we know what’s on offer. All in all a fun night I highly recommend.

What a unique dining experience! Dining experience alone should be enough for you to visit Mjølner. I personally loved the overall ambience and Nordic decos that made me feel like I was dining with Ragnar Lothbrok from Vikings :) However, I did feel like this Viking-themed venue paid a little too much attention to the theatrics than the actual foods.
A few notable things about Mjølner:
- The waiter brings you a selection of knives to choose from before the meal. (Man, all the knives are exceptional looking!)
- You can drink beer from this badass horn
- Once you finish 'Roast Bone Marrow', you can take a whisky shot using the bone marrow as a funnel. (Warning: it can get messy!)
- Even your receipt looks cool with this pop-up viking ship!
Foods were okay but considering the price, they could've been better overall. My favourite was Roast Porchetta which was decent but not as tender as I expected it to be. Overall, I felt like dishes were a bit bland but maybe that's how it's supposed to taste. Overall, I had a pleasant time at Mjølner :) Highly recommend!
It was great to have dinner out again after lock down. The restaurant is 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.
I recently had my 30th at Mjolner and had an amazing night. Nick Winter the general manager made all efforts possible to ensure everyone had the best experience possible.
The food was fantastic and everyone that attended was impressed with the service and other mjolner specific experiences such as the bone marrow whiskey luge and being able to choose your own viking knife to kick off the night, just to name afew.
It's key things like this that make mjolner unique amongst a city known for its amazing food scene.
Thank you once again Nick for making my 30th a night to remember.
mjolneraustralia was such an awesome experience!! I definitely felt like a viking when i got to pick out my own serving knife! Drinking out of a horn was pretty cool but drinking smoky whiskey out of a bone marrow was rad as!! Food: 3/5
Service: 3.5/5
Ambience: 4.5/5
Loved the ambiance of the place. Food was super yum!
The highlight of the experience was this little bit of surprise we received in the middle of our meal.
Definitely need to go back to try out the bone marrow and whiskey shots!
Service was amazing, and the theme was very well done - made dinner a super fun experience! Food was meaty and rich - was very filling. Drinks were great too. Thanks for the awesome experience :)
We came here for a birthday party on a weekday. Great atmosphere and I liked how you can choose your knife. I enjoyed the welcome shot, gravlax, chicken and bombe Alaska. Our waiter Ian was awesome and made it a fun night. Would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.
Came here for a function with a large group - the food was delicious and well cooked, with really great portion sizes. A particular standout was the bone marrow and doing a whiskey shot out of the bone after eating!
Mjolner Melbourne was absolutely fantastic, excellent service, beautiful food (with vegetarian options which were delicious), and great atmosphere. We arrived about 10 minutes before opening but they were lovely and seated us early (we had a play to get to after). It was a very quiet that early on a Tuesday afternoon, but it was perfect for our first official date. It was awesome to see them leaning into the Viking feel without making it gimmicky.
My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Definitely give yourself an hour and half or more to really soak up the experience.
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 a restaurant and the whole experience was 100/10
What an incredible evening! We had a group of eight for a birthday dinner and had the banquet: a three-course meal with shared entrees and mains and dessert. Each dish was utterly delicious, particularly the beef. Before the mains arrived, we had the opportunity to choose our “Viking weapon” from a series of ornate knives, presented by our waiter. Our meal was accompanied by delicious drinks presented in fun ways, such as beer that you drink from a cow horn. We also opted for the bone marrow dish that left you with a hollowed-out bone from which to drink a shot of whiskey. Such a fun and unique experience! Our waiter was lovely and very knowledgeable about the cuisine, drinks and Viking history. The attention to detail at Mjølner was extraordinary and didn’t feel gimmicky in the slightest. We’ll definitely be back.
Amazing experience! Was worried that Mjolner might be a little gimmicky, but our experience was anything but.
Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and staff! This restaurant has it all!!!
We enjoyed the Viking feast with a group of friends. They catered to a friend's dietary needs flawlessly, allowing them to share in our experience without risk. Enjoying the same food and not feel like they missed out.
Easily a top restaurant experience for me. Highly recommended.
Amazing service and one of the best dinner I had in Melbourne. Went for an anniversary dinner and absolutely loved it. The staffs even gave us a beautiful anniversary card and a small drinking horn as a gift. Definitely coming back!
Love Viking themed decor and menu. You could feel their passion on delivering an exotic dining experience from their table settings, lights, background music and even the apron they’re wearing.
Roast bone marrow is one of my favorite which reminds me of the way Mongolian greets their guests. Every dish comes with good portion.
Absolutely an amazing experience. I loved the Viking stories behind the interior and food. The food was amazing! I could not fault anything and the service was perfect. I highly recommended this place to everyone!!
Amazing experience, awesome food, the best service and altogether a wonderful night celebrating my daughter's birthday this evening. One of Melbourne's best kept secrets!!! Intimate, viking-friendly and, did I mention BLOODY AWESOME FOOD!!
Amazing, every part of this restaurant from the food to the atmosphere was great.
The food - Ignore everyone saying the price is "too high" you need to pay more for better food, that should go without saying, the food is amazing, the fish was perfect, the meat was perfect, the desserts were perfect, everything was great.
The drinks - The honey mead is the greatest drink i have ever had in my entire life, the mocktails were incredible despite me never really liking them, all the drinks look aesthetically pleasing, and the horns are a great touch.
The atmosphere - The entire building had a great a visually distinct look through the bottom floor to the top, each part of the restaurant had amazing Scandinavian decor and design, there were horns, swords and other great props and items to give the restaurant a unique flare.
The service - All the employees were extremely helpful and polite, each request, including gluten free options was met and the experience was 100% satisfactory.
Overall Mjølner is an amazing restaurant that is definitely worth the price and time.
Moljner is definitely a wonderful dinner experience. It was my first time and it did not disappoint. Delicious cocktails and mocktails accompanied mouthwatering meals. The steak and beef short rib were outstanding. The restaurant itself is also beautifully decorated and creates a wonderful ambience. We will be back!
