The Hof Downtown, located right next to the Etihad Stadium, has relaunched with a revamped interior and new contemporary Bavarian menu with an Australian touch.
The menu is made for casual dining with dishes made to share. Start with one of the small dishes: a warm pretzel and butter, slowly braised ox cheek served on parmesan polenta, or grilled prawns with parsnip puree and vinaigrette. Larger plates include takes on German classics like the hefty 1.7 kg crisp pork knuckle served with sauerkraut, mash potato, jus and mustard, and a traditional crumbed chicken schnitzel.
On the drinks front, you'll find plenty of Bavarian brews including ones from Arcobrau, as well as the Austrian Reseitbauer range of spirits. The wine list trots through Austria, Germany and New Zealand, with some biodynamic drops thrown in for good measure. In the cocktail shakers, you will find colourful numbers like the Negroni with Austrian blue gin and the refreshing Cucumber Martini.
The Hof Downtown is back and is dishing out Bavarian-style good times for city-dwellers.
