ORDERED: πŸ₯ž Lasagna topper: with pickled mushrooms, yuzu mayo ($10.00 each) 🍞 Maori fried bread: with pickled mussels, chorizo, pickled fennel ($13.00 each) πŸ- Fried chicken wing: stuffed with scallop + tarragon mousse, buffalo sauce ($16.00 each) πŸ₯ͺ Chicken sando: fried chicken skin with pate 🐟 Ika mata (Cook Island ceviche): with coconut, lime, tomatoes, cassava cracker ($22.00) πŸ₯" Hangi potato smashies: with boiled egg mayo, wakame ($15.00) πŸ₯© 300g Porterhouse steak, grain fed MB2+ with pepper glaze, potato crisps and miso egg ($48.00) This was $69.28pp between 4 people! REVIEW: Although Maggie's name states "snacks", we were actually quite full from our meal! All their food is fun, interesting and a joy to try. ❀ My top 2 were the Fried chicken wing and the Hangi potato smashies. 🧑 You need phenomenal technical skill in order to de-bone the fried chicken wing, re-stuff it with scallop and tarragon mousse, then seal it up again without tearing the casing. For that alone and the surreal taste of sweet scallop with the scent of chicken, it's a winner in my books. πŸ'› The table favourite (everyone's 2nd fave) was the Hangi potato smashies. Fried perfectly with plenty of craggily bits and seasoned generously, it was a party in my mouth. The seaweed elevated its umami levels to a level out of this world. 😒 Least favourite for me was the Lasagna Topper. The pickled mushrooms stepped too far into tangy for me and this dish remained very non-memorable for me 1 week later. ⭐ Service was amazing. The blonde waitress who looked after us on Sunday lunch was engaging, a bubbly glass of joy and so fun. She and the gentlemen at the bar ensured we were continuously fed and our iced-water carafes never ran low. Big love for them. The interior with exposed brick-work with cool lighting and wood furniture brings an industrial vibe that doesn't take itself too seriously. This creates a casual fun vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates over great food and bevs. 🍻

What a wonderful meal we had.
The menu is exciting and fresh - accommodating something for everyone.
A great way to while away a few hours on a Sunday evening.
The staff were attentive and kind.
We loved it!

I love this place. Such a great transformation of a venue. Have been back several times now and have taken a few kiwis with me each time. Fantastic nostalgic menu which is delicious and incorporates authentic kiwi flavours with modern and beautiful twists. 10/10 stars go to the onion tart, the beurre blanc oyster, the corn dish and the hangi potatoes. Truly delicious. Kiwi onion dip also obviously was elite. Fantastic cocktail menu also. Lovely staff who are attentive and friendly and a generally great vibe. We will be back!

Nori Sourdough with marmite butter and Ika-Mata Ceviche 11/10!!! ⚑️⚑️⚑️⚑️⚑️

As you walk past towards the courtyard, you'll notice the jars of homemade pickles and fermentation section.

Food was exceptional! Interesting flavour combinations but delicious and executed very well.

Showcasing Australian native ingredients and fun dishes from the chefs childhood favourite snacks in New Zealand!

Their flavour profile and menu dishes is something you don't typically see around the restaurant and wine bar scene in Melbourne these days; familiar but very unique tastes to Maggie's!

Another point, I'm not a dessert person but their take on Mum's apple shortcake sealed the deal. Sweet and refreshing! Really yummy

The cocktails are delish refreshing!! Just what we've been looking for. I want to try them all next time! Service was friendly, warm and accommodating. Great value for the price.

Overall, the most important thing was it's perfect place sharing it with friends. We left so full and happy!

Had an amazing collection of cocktails, wine and eats at this beautiful new spot... great relaxed but super-professional vibe, different and exciting wines and cocktails, and a food menu that mixes familiar but with a different twist...

The space is beautiful. Seems πŸ'πŸΌ from accessibility point of view too - it has a ramp into the space from the door off the street (there is a small lip - few cms high - from the street). They have a separate wheelchair accessible toilet, and additional ambulant accessible toilet. Table chairs are Parisian-bistro style...

We were here when it was moderately busy and while it was 'noisy' with music (not invasive) and other people talking it *wasn't* too loud or hard for us (four) to talk and hear each other... as someone with a bit of noise sensitivity it was good for me, better than lots of places I've been recently. πŸ'πŸΌπŸ'πŸΌ
