Mr Tompkins is a classic European-style restaurant with a modern twist using Native Australian Bushfoods. Our head chef Eric Kwek, previously from CODA, has carefully curated the menu with quality local produce.

Our paperbark Roasted Murray cod is our signature dish.
Paperbark is traditionally used by indigenous cultures as bedding and to wrap proteins in before tossing them into the fire and we have adopted this method to cook our Murray Cod. To impart the very unique smoky flavor we light the bark on fire to release the aromatic smell in the smoke.

Mr Tompkins is located at 318 Flinders Street Melbourne, opposite the iconic Flinders Street Station in the Melbourne CBD and a short stroll to famous landmarks like Federation Square, MCG, and the Rod Laver Arena.

Our intimate and moody underground space enables our guests to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but still watch the comings and goings on Flinders Street above through our NYC-style windows.

    I booked a lunch for my in-laws birthday. The restaurant did not know about my booking. In the end we were offered the bar menu in the restaurant. This was not what I booked or talked up at all. The food was ok. But pub food. Not Mr Thompsons food that I previously ate a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to do something special for my mother in law. This was not the case. Sorry guys but well below par.
    Mr. TompkinsResponded on 15 May 2024

    The food was too much overpriced. It gelt the food was cooked for ages and just a quick oven heat to make it hot. The food never looked fresh. Spoiled my date night.
    Mr. TompkinsResponded on 21 February 2024
    Hi Shikha, Thank you for the review and we are sorry to hear that the food did not go well for you. Our kitchen will look into it and make the dishes better. We hope to see you again in the future. Kind Regards Danny Wu Restaurant and Bar Manager

    I was very displeased with their menu for Valentines day. How can you run out of food when you only have like five items on the menu? The vegetarian options were horrible. Would not go there again
    Mr. TompkinsResponded on 21 February 2024
    Hi, We are sorry to hear that you were not pleased with the vegetarian options on the menu on Valentines Day, and our kitchen team will work on it and make the menu better plus with enough stocks too. We hope to see you next time with the better vegetarian dishes on our menu. Kind Regards Danny Wu Restaurant and Bar Manager

    We were a group of ten and took up the two course meal offer. It was incredibly good value for money. Between us we tried most of the dishes and everyone agreed they were delicious (I strongly recommend the corn bread as a side). The restaurant was quite busy yet we found the service by Caroline to be efficient yet caring and respectful. The setting is lovely and the chairs comfortable. All in all, there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to bypass this restaurant.

    Great signature cocktail which set us up for a great evening. Easy to go wrong with Venison -but it was delicious and a good Merlot by its side. Great meal, service, and choice of music.

    Food was amazing! Service was some of the best on offer in Melbourne. Danny was outstanding, continuously made sure we were catered for, and matched our wines with each course. Will definitely return next time we are staying in the city.
