Miznon

Top choice in Melbourne


Originating in Tel Aviv, Miznon is a fun and fresh option on iconic Hardware Lane. Book seats at tables outside, or sit on the 'steps' inside or on the mezzanine level. Order pitas stuffed with everything from giant falafel to lamb short ribs and share roasted whole cauliflower. Help yourself to the pita, tahini and pickle bar while you wait.

On weekend evenings Israeli music blares and staff have been known to hand out shots.
