Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Mont Albert

First time back to The European for many years, great to see the dining experience is still excellent.

Even though Olivine is a wine bar, I mostly go there for the delicious food. The steak, chicken, terrine & pate, the brussels sprouts (swoon) and fries are all great. The wine's always good too. The fitout looks lovely, but sadly the designers prioritised form over function - the cell bench seating is really uncomfortable! Nevertheless, the ambience is great and I like the idea of us all collectively creating a new, more positive cultural memory to sit alongside the history of the place. If you haven't been, I definitely recommend a visit. Do leave time to check out the historical info in the unrestored cells; it feels important to honor and try to understand the story of the place while we're there.

Fabulous restaurant in the best part of Lygon street - the Brunswick end. The service is fabulous as is the food. Great bar and restaurant.

Food and service was amazing. Venue was beautiful, however do wish there were more cocktail options as there were only 2 outlined on the menu. Overall good experience.

The environment is quite nice and there aren't many people. The steak I ordered was medium but already had a burnt taste. The fries that came with it were very delicious.
