Hell of the North - Melbourne

Hi I wouldn’t recommend booking online right now. Several weeks out I needed to change the booking date and the restaurant was uncontactable through OpenTable and just said try again later for weeks, I rang number of restaurant listed on open table and number was disconnected, found email of restaurant and emailed them no reply, spent an hour on chat help with open table and they couldn’t reach them either. This took a lot of time and was stressful as booking on open table was held with my credit card. I can’t rate the restaurant as we didn’t go but I wasn’t happy with this booking experience obviously and open table was the booking app linked on their website I think so not like I was using a dodgy third party.

The place had closed down when we rocked up. Apparently, according to the restaurant next door HOTN just shut up shop without telling anyone. They had lots of other people coming in to ask the same question. Shame, I was really looking forward to eating here. Hopefully they pick themselves back up and start a new venture in the future.

Restaurant closed a week before the booking and was not notified.

Really great food and atmosphere. Disappointed that they are closing though, as we would have definitely returned! We went on a Saturday where there is a set menu and they bring you a selection of courses, everything was delicious!

Excellent bistro/French cuisine with great ambience. The feed me is the right amount of food. The beef tartare was excellent.
