Best Historic Restaurants in Hawthorn East

Excellent wines and wine knowledge. Beautiful little tucked away bar with the ambience of a special little place that locals only get to know about .. worth going looking to find it hidden in its arcade/laneway location. Great place for a date, to catch up with special friends, or for an afternoon wine sampling at the bar. Accomodating with food dietaries and a good modern international food mix.

Our experience at Meatmaiden was one of perfection, the food and ambience were outstanding but rhe overall experience was topped off by our waiter Logan McBride, who was not only extremely knowledgeable about the menu and drinks list but looked after us in a friendly and efficient manner, he made us feel welcome and in no way could have performed his job better, well done Meatmaiden for employing staff who care

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kishiro with friends, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! The cocktails were exceptional, perfectly crafted and refreshing. Each sip was a delightful start to our meal. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. The kingfish sashimi was a standout dish; it was incredibly fresh and the dumplings paired beautifully with the chili oil sauce, which added just the right amount of kick. Every bite was a burst of flavor that left us wanting more. The mains were equally impressive. They were not only delicious but also very filling, ensuring that we left the restaurant completely satisfied. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered, and each dish showcased the skill and creativity of the chefs. Overall, Kishiro exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy fantastic Japanese cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere. I can't wait to return and try more of their offerings!

Cosy venue with friendly and helpful customer service. We brought our two small dogs along and they were welcomed. Food was very tasty and good value.
