About From Here by Mike

Set along the Yarra River in Docklands, From Here by Mike delivers Hat-awarded Victorian dining inside an airy, plant-filled riverside retreat. Reclaimed timber and stone frame a calm waterfront room where chef Mike McEnearney anchors the kitchen to regional growers. Diners head here for the ingredient-first cooking—crisp-skinned porchetta, Wanderers beef tartare with kefir cream, and charred Brussels sprouts alongside sourdough dipped into an edible quail tallow candle. The cellar pulls exclusively from local soil with more than 40 Victorian winemakers poured alongside views of passing boats. Dinner wraps over whipped dark chocolate mousse with cocoa nibs.

  • Goats Cheese Souffle

    Goats Cheese Souffle - fluffy and creamy, cheesy without being salty, the baked shallot pairing was spot on

  • Quail Tallow Candle

    Quail Tallow Candle - it looks like a candle, burns like a candle, but is made from cultured Japanese quail blended with herbs and oils. As it melts, it turns into a rich, savoury dip with a subtle floral note, perfect for dipping into with some sourdough.

  • Crab Omelette

    The crab omelette is absolutely incredible, paired perfectly with creamy avocado.

    The standout dish of the night was definitely the Andean Sunrise Gnocchetti Fritti. You get six pieces, and they were perfectly cooked. The horseradish and shallot cream dip was absolutely delicious and easily one of my favourite things I ate all night.
