Located within the heritage-listed Olderfleet building on Collins Street, Freyja brings together a deep respect for nature and the art of time. Our culinary philosophy is grounded in the use of local, seasonal Australian ingredients, preserved at their peak and allowed to evolve over time.

    A great 1st visit for our 33rd Wedding Anniversary, we were impressed by the USP of this restaurant: Great Decor Amazing food, creative and unique but not pretentious. The restaurant manager that day was very attentive and knowledgeable. The younger waiters were pleasant but were not so confident in explaining the dishes. Will be back.

    UTTERLY FANTASTIC. By far, one of my best dining experiences in recent memory. I would highly recommend anybody go here if you enjoy innovative, creative, and amazingly tasty food. I sat at the chefs counter, which was fantastic watching everything happen and every dish that was served to me in the chef’s experience was amazing. This is now one of my favorite restaurants anywhere in the world.  the service was impeccable, and the drinks were fantastic too.  there were so many amazing dishes.  the single muscle with the incredible sauce and the steak tartare were standouts.  but literally every morsel of food was just so tasty. I will go to this restaurant every time I’m in Melbourne.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Freya. The food was outstanding, it was original, beautifully balanced and tasted superb. It was hard to pick a favourite dish! They were all perfectly cooked and were wonderfully presented. The waitress (Paula) was well informed on the menu, helpful, friendly but also professional, she was attentive but not intrusive. We had the 'classy pairing' option of alcohol with our meals and the sommelier (Herb) did an outstanding job. Like our food the pairings were perfect. For me, this was the total dining experience, the staff, the food and the ambience were first class. This is a restaurant we will return to and I can highly recommend.

    I had the tasting menu with the standard wine pairing consisting of Australian wine. It was interesting to start the course with waffles and a fresh oyster, and the pate with berries went really well with the waffles. The sourdough bread side was well made and came with the salad and mussels. The protein was a plate of pork and another plate of venison sausages. Pork was a bit chewy but tasty. The venison sauce was beautiful. The dessert was a delight. The wines were well paired and certainly enhanced the dining experience.
