Freyja

Freyja is a contemporary restaurant located in the heart of Melbourne's Collins Street.

The restaurant offers a 'New Nordic' approach to Australian dining and produce, fusing classic techniques with new culinary philosophies. The result is a multi-sensory dining experience that offers a very special taste of Scandinavian gastronomy and hospitality traditions, but also uncovers elements of local history and culture. Freyja is a 130-seat diner that is fusing traditional techniques with modern Scandi flair. The restaurant is led by Michelin Star and award-winning Executive Chef Jae Bang, who was formerly head chef at Norway's two-Michelin-gonged Re-Naa. Freyja's seasonal menu sees dishes created using only the freshest, local produce. The restaurant's cuisine is all about creating networks and using local ingredients to create a unique dining experience. The menu swings from daytime smørrebrød, the traditional Danish open sandwiches, to a dinner menu packing cool Scandi sophistication. The restaurant offers a unique take on Danish staples, such as bread and butter, using fresh and local ingredients. The side dishes are also a highlight, with seasonal and preserved vegetables mixing the charry, smooshy beauty of a Sunday roast with sharp pickled notes for mix-and-match intrigue. Freyja is located in the heritage-listed Olderfleet building, which is a beautiful and historic site. The restaurant is spread across two levels of the building, with the street visible through a trio of ecclesiastical windows. The venue is sophisticated and offers a unique dining experience that is perfect for special occasions or a night out with friends. Freyja is a must-try for anyone looking for a unique and exciting dining experience in Melbourne.
