About the restaurant
Set within the cathedral-like arches of Melbourne’s Olderfleet building, Freyja reimagines the Nordic table through an Australian lens. Chef Jae Bang, formerly of Norway’s two-Michelin-starred Re-naa, brings a deft, minimalist touch to fire, smoke and fermentation. Expect Murray cod roasted over open flame, duck with finger lime, and smørrebrød at lunch that redefines simplicity. Every plate is a quiet study in time, texture and restraint; an ode to nature’s rhythm. With its soaring windows and ethereal ambience, Freyja feels at once ancient and utterly modern.
