Check out the restroom too (took a photo of the cool collage on the door). They support sustainable living and they harvest their produce from their nearby farm. We were told they as much as possible refrain from having waste - a plus for me already. We got vegetarian and I was pleased with the presentation of the dishes. They were also so yummy and so filling! They explained each dish being served. We had many servings - I wanted more but at the same time I was already too full! Cant explain it but it was soooo good and so filling. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!

This place has some absolutely amazing things to it:…read more - First love the vibe. dark and modern with some brightness to it. youthful and classy. - Love the story here. Three brothers. Oldest being the sous chef, middle being head chef and youngest being the sommelier. - Loved the passion of the waiters bringing out the food. They all seemed excited to be sharing the restaurants menu with you. Made you feel like you were definitely a part of the experience. My sis and I got the 8 course degustation for 110. Bites: Warragal greens with samphire powder charred Pumpkin pickled with nut cheese Tomato water Dishes: Zucchini risotto with slow cooked egg yolk on bottom - beautifully balanced dish both from a flavour point of view as well as a texture. The warm gooeyness of the egg with small crunchy bits with the perfectly cooked risotto. Kingfish with fresh basil and lemon myrtle and spice emulsion - This was delicious. It reminded me of my mothers indian style fried fish, even though basil and lemon myrtle have ABSOLUTELY no place in an indian kitchen. More just how it was fried and presented was such a lovely way to have fish instead of a quick sear or cured like all All things pumpkin. Roasted with garlic. Flesh into pasta, seeds and rind powdered down - My dish of the night. 24 hour pork with apple and pork stock concentrated jelly with Apple leaf dried - this dish was a let down for me. Pork was rather tasteless and underseasoned. Warmed cucumber with goat cheese nasturtium - my sister didn't appreciate this dish. I found it weird but oddly appealing. A nice palate cleanser before the bigger proteins coming up. Duck Ragu with salada crumb and plum sheet - Sister loved it. I didn't care for it as much. VERY rich, and almost needed some citrus to give it a bit of freshness. The plum sheet was a creative touch but didn't give me a fruit that helped to balance the dish; rather it was a bit too complimentary to the richness. Dry ages beef with roasted tomato, bone marrow purée and carrot, Purple basil and honey - my sister's favourite dish for the night. I definitely enjoyed it but it wasn't near my top dish of the evening Deserts: In short ALL delicious Cracked pepper meringue with Oliver oil emulsion and balsamic gel - House made licorice Black cherries covered in chocolate with beetroot dust Sous-vide peaches with peach gel and basil - now this dish i wanted to comment on because this dish represented to me what was "wrong" with O.My. When I hear sous-vide'd peaches i am counting on getting an almost poached peach which is easily cut through with a fork which isn't as soft and over done as a poached peach would be, but still have a nice consistency secondary to the sous-vide process. Instead what was served was cold and tasted, quite honestly, like a fresh peach. Cucumber granita with buttermilk 10 spice ice cream Pumpkin cooked in fig jus Vanilla cookie with milk caramel and disk Conclusions: I think this restaurant is a fantastic first step for these young men and they absolutely should be commended for it. The food is fantastically inspired and I love some of the risks they took in terms of the dishes coming out. My only and "main" criticism would be that technique can't be present for technique sake. It must be a tool to bring something new to experience. I felt like that happened in the "All things pumpkin" where they made the rind into part of the dish, and made a pasta sheet out of the pumpkin etc, but it completely fell short in dishes like the sous-vide peaches. I hope that they continue to push themselves and continue to grow. For a trio of brothers all under 30 its amazing that they are producing this kind of experience. Beyond that the only thing I would say is turn the music down a bit. A few times it was hard to hear the waiter in the context of how loud the music was.

I prepared a collection of must-try stops during the month of my visit, and from my research, Daughter in Law made the list. It also happens to be around the corner from my hotel so it ended up being the first restaurant I tried after arriving at the hotel and getting settled. I wanted something comforting and guaranteed to be a delightful food experience and Indian food never disappoints for me and my cravings. Daughter in Law went above and beyond all expectations of the every day delicious Indian restaurant. You'll know it from first glance as you approach the restaurant and see the colorful tables and neon sign. Everything about the ambience took me back to our Mama Speaks hotel in Rome...my absolute favorite for the fantastic indulgent, maximalist, colorful decor. Everything about the space says party with a sophisticated twist. The second time we went here, there was a birthday happening for a grandma with her large family there. This place is a gem. All I can say is hopefully I get to have a birthday here someday. It was a party and we were all smiles. We ordered the Hiramasa Kingfish Ceviche You won't regret this choice It was heaven in a clamshell. I could have eaten several of these as a meal. It was a fresh as fresh gets scallop ceviche with the perfect Indian spin of flavors. I don't know how I didn't get a picture of it except to say most likely because we ate it too fast for pictures. We followed this with the Ball of Happiness (Gol Gappa). A crisp hollowed out orb served with a layered shot of the classic mint, tamarind, and chutney flavor sauces that are meant to be poured into the orb and popped into your mouth for a flavor explosion. It was fun and delicious but I personally would have gone for another scallop en croute in place of this. Though it's worth a go! For drinks, I ordered a Passionfruit Spritz. I was worried it may be too sweet but it turned out to be just right and very refreshing. The little mermaid was a fun touch and my daughter wanted to take her home. The Mango Lassi was perfect, authentic, and not too sweet. There was only 2 of us, so as much as I wanted to try the Rogan Josh, we shared the Chicken Tikka Masala instead. It was delicious phenomenal. So rich and flavorful, with a brightness and tang to it that made it hard to stop eating. Incredible flavor! The garlic naan was of course, woodfired crisp and perfectly soft where it should be when pulled apart. Daughter in Law is going to be a regular spot for the next couple of months and anytime I'm traveling here in Melbourne!

Hawker Beer and Wine Bar is located in the suburb of Highett just 30mins from Melbourne CBD. The bar is named after Harry Hawker, a local of the area. Harry George Hawker, was an Australian aviation pioneer. He was the chief test pilot for Sopwith and was also involved in the design of many of their aircraft. After World War One he co-founded Hawker Aircraft, the firm that would later be responsible for a long series of successful military aircraft. The bar itself is small and is directly across the road from the Highett train station, which seems to have some type of train passing through every 15mins. The fit-out is minimalistic, with large windows that give you a great view of the comings and goings in the area. What is great about this bar is the large cocktail list. With mostly original cocktails with a few traditional with a modern twist. The service is friendly and attentive, and I get the feeling if I lived in the area this would be my local. Apart from the great cocktails it has a good selection of beers and wines. It also had a pretty awesome snack menu, being provided by Typhoon, the Vietnamese restaurant next door. If you live in the area chances are you have either visited Hawker or know of it. If you haven't been do yourself a favour and pay them a visit, it won't disappoint.
