This latest addition to Melbourne's Hardware Lane is a must for those with a hankering for cocktails and modern European cuisine. The Chef Carl Dahren has put together a modern European menu that stays true to his roots, and downstairs from the restaurant is an intimate cocktail bar perfect for starting and finishing the evening.

PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
The latest addition to Hardware Lane, only open since August 2006, The Mill is set over two levels and masterfully combines my two favourite pastimes: eating and drinking. Downstairs is Charlie’s Bar, an intimate cocktail bar perfect for starting and finishing the evening, or being the evenings entertainment itself. The ground floor of this 19th Century converted warehouse is home to a bright and spacious restaurant and casual bar area, with large, arched windows opening onto Romeo and Juliet-style balconies. The decor is warm and inviting with dark chocolate and decadent gold hues and an ambience of pure enjoyment.

Chef Carey Stephens has put together a contemporary Modern Australian al a carte menu alongside a substantial bar/snack menu. The extensive wine list is filled with Australian varieties and offers plenty by the glass, but be sure to check out Charlie's cocktail selection too.

Reviews

I went to the Mill with a group of friends on a Saturday night. The restaurant was buzzing and it's easy to see why. The food, service and the whole ambience was great. I can recommend the Wagyu, juicy and superbly cooked, my friends had the lamb which was tender and the polenta cake it came with was a lovely accompaniment. Make sure you save room for dessert, the chocolate tart cannot be missed! We headed downstairs to Charlie's for a quick drink and ended up staying all night. I'm going for the live jazz they have playing next Sunday. Enjoy!
