Had a great time at The Mint! Everything we ordered was delicious and exceeded expectations. The karaage fried chicken was flavorful and juicy — perfectly paired with the yuzu mayo, which added a refreshing citrus kick. The braised lamb shank was incredibly tender and well-seasoned. The meat literally fell apart with just a fork. Loved the sides too — the stir fried kale and mash potato were the perfect match and full of flavor. The beef burger was also a standout. The crispy onion rings inside added great texture, and the patty itself was super tasty and juicy. Highly recommend this place !
Went out with a friend who hadn’t been to Melbourne before. We all wanted to try experience something new and decided to check out “The Mint” suffice to say I was incredibly disappointed and embarrassed. First came the drinks. My roommate ordered a cosmopolitan “nothing to write home about” was her review. My friend ordered a pint which was fine and I had an espresso martini which tasted burnt and was undrinkable. Then came the food. Absolutely disgusting. My roommate had the house made gnocchi if you could call it that, more so looked like orange slime, she tried asking for some salt and was begrudgingly handed some by a rude waitress. The salt barely made a difference. My friend had the chicken Parma and the cheese was disgusting. And I had ordered the steak special which considering how low my expectations were at the point was at least edible. Definitely won’t be recommending this place again.
Visited on Wednesday for their steak special. 250g porterhouse w/ fries for 25$ was a really good value. The steak was nicely seasoned and cooked. Ordering was easy. Nice place.
We held our wedding here and it was the absolute best. The relaxed beer garden vibe was perfect for what we wanted. All of our guests were so pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the venue was. There is so much greenery and beautiful unique spots in this venue; we didn't add any decorations or anything (however, the venue are happy for you to do this!) The staff are incredible - Erin who helped us organise everything pre-wedding, and Gem (and the whole team!) who was there on the day - everything ran sooo smoothly and nothing was too much to ask (also they thought of literally everything before we did, so we didn't even need to ask!). The food was delicious and there was so much of it - they were happy to cater for any dietaries too. They also let us have our dog outside on the day, which was so special for us. We loved every second of the day! Thank you!!!!
A great venue to dine at before or after visiting the spectacular Hellenic Museum housed in the former Mint. The food is good, bit on the pricier end, but yummy nonetheless. A good sized chicken parmigiana and a decent polenta stack. What ruins it for me is the self service concept. Reminds me of old poorer quality pubs or fast food joints. When it is busy it can mean your food gets cold whilst you queue up waiting to renew your drinks. At this price and style of setting, table service would be much better.
