The food here is amazing and they dont skimp on the portion sizes. You are guaranteed to be well fed. The meat is nice and juicy. It wasnt dry. Packed full of flavour too. The service here is great and the friday night live band adds to the amazing atmosphere. I cant wait to come back and eat more!
I had the pleasure of being able to have a Christmas in July lunch at Hophaus. I was very impressed with the Christmassy decorations and lights. There was also a live singer performing Christmas carols, though I do wish he had performed Christmas carols for a bit longer. I liked that the music wasn’t too loud either.
Table presentation was beautiful. Each person got a gold or silver Christmas cracker.
For $50 per person we got a bretzel, shared entree, shared main, shared sides and our own selection of desserts each. This is incredible value! Everyone was surprised with how much food we got. Our mains was a generous sharing platter of meats. There was so much food we could hardly finish eating all of it.
The highlight for me was the desserts. Each person got a sweet mince pie, a brandy Christmas pudding and a warm eggnog. Amazing value once again.
We also had some dietary requirements which were covered well by Hophaus. My vegetarian friends really enjoyed their meals. They couldn’t stop raving about the vegetarian patty.
Cocktails were also nice.
Too bad there wasn’t much of a Christmas market as advertised… no fake snow… just one stall selling mulled wine so I am not sure what happened there but we still really had a good day.
If its a beer your after or perhaps a cocktail then the Hophaus is the place for you. There is a very generous drinks menu to choose from, with a huge selection of beer, gins & schnapps all on offer in a nice setting with great views of the Yarra. The menu appears inviting at first with a good selection of German dishes and some not so German to choose from. We thought we would try one of the chefs special options which was the Angus burger. Let me just say there was nothing special at all about our meals. So so so disappointing and lacked any flavour what so ever. Probably should have chosen a better option. Dont recommend the burgers here at all.
Came late Sunday afternoon seated on the balcony enjoying my food and the view
Oyster – fresh and good start of my meal 🙂
Cheesy beef croquettes – nice golden coating very crunchy
Pig knuckle – I came late in the afternoon so my knuckle was bit dry and the crisp was too hard to eat…
Apfelstrudel – great for non sweet tooth 🙂 warm fruit fillings wrapped in crispy pastry lovely with sour cherry sauce 🙂
Nice place to hang out after work, with great views across the river. Just be careful with happy hour… If you get your order in before 7pm then the bartender takes a few minutes getting your drink and the clock ticks over past 7pm, they will try to charge you full price!
We came to Hophaus today for a team lunch and enjoyed the lovely ambiance overlooking the water. Its a big space and in nice weather when its buzzing with people it has an electric atmosphere. The staff did a pretty good job accommodating 40 or so of us although there were some inconsistencies in the food.
My entree dish was bitterballen which were beef brisket behamel croquettes. Mine were a little more burnt looking than those on some other plates but they were an enjoyable starter and Im guessing quite a traditional dish which is always cool to try.
For main I got the sirloin with sweet potato mash and lemon horseradish butter. Mine seemed to be a lot more oily (or buttery perhaps) then everyone elses. As you can see from the contrasting photos, mine is swimming in a yellow liquid. It tasted quite good however and I rather enjoyed the German potato salad side. I was also quite partial to the fried kndel which is another traditional side (effectively fried dough).
Overall a very pleasant discovery and feedback across the table on other dishes; particularly the scallop entree and the chicken main, was all very positive. We loved both the passion fruit and chocolate tarts for dessert too
Lovely service, average food. Came with partner on a Friday night. Place was buzzing and great outdoor area. Seated instantly. Ordered chips, chicken schnitzel, calamari. Meal tasted fine and hit the spot but schnitzel comes only with coleslaw and slightly overpriced for the whole dish. Make sure you order a side of chips with it.
