Check out the restroom too (took a photo of the cool collage on the door). They support sustainable living and they harvest their produce from their nearby farm. We were told they as much as possible refrain from having waste - a plus for me already. We got vegetarian and I was pleased with the presentation of the dishes. They were also so yummy and so filling! They explained each dish being served. We had many servings - I wanted more but at the same time I was already too full! Cant explain it but it was soooo good and so filling. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!

This place has some absolutely amazing things to it:…read more - First love the vibe. dark and modern with some brightness to it. youthful and classy. - Love the story here. Three brothers. Oldest being the sous chef, middle being head chef and youngest being the sommelier. - Loved the passion of the waiters bringing out the food. They all seemed excited to be sharing the restaurants menu with you. Made you feel like you were definitely a part of the experience. My sis and I got the 8 course degustation for 110. Bites: Warragal greens with samphire powder charred Pumpkin pickled with nut cheese Tomato water Dishes: Zucchini risotto with slow cooked egg yolk on bottom - beautifully balanced dish both from a flavour point of view as well as a texture. The warm gooeyness of the egg with small crunchy bits with the perfectly cooked risotto. Kingfish with fresh basil and lemon myrtle and spice emulsion - This was delicious. It reminded me of my mothers indian style fried fish, even though basil and lemon myrtle have ABSOLUTELY no place in an indian kitchen. More just how it was fried and presented was such a lovely way to have fish instead of a quick sear or cured like all All things pumpkin. Roasted with garlic. Flesh into pasta, seeds and rind powdered down - My dish of the night. 24 hour pork with apple and pork stock concentrated jelly with Apple leaf dried - this dish was a let down for me. Pork was rather tasteless and underseasoned. Warmed cucumber with goat cheese nasturtium - my sister didn't appreciate this dish. I found it weird but oddly appealing. A nice palate cleanser before the bigger proteins coming up. Duck Ragu with salada crumb and plum sheet - Sister loved it. I didn't care for it as much. VERY rich, and almost needed some citrus to give it a bit of freshness. The plum sheet was a creative touch but didn't give me a fruit that helped to balance the dish; rather it was a bit too complimentary to the richness. Dry ages beef with roasted tomato, bone marrow purée and carrot, Purple basil and honey - my sister's favourite dish for the night. I definitely enjoyed it but it wasn't near my top dish of the evening Deserts: In short ALL delicious Cracked pepper meringue with Oliver oil emulsion and balsamic gel - House made licorice Black cherries covered in chocolate with beetroot dust Sous-vide peaches with peach gel and basil - now this dish i wanted to comment on because this dish represented to me what was "wrong" with O.My. When I hear sous-vide'd peaches i am counting on getting an almost poached peach which is easily cut through with a fork which isn't as soft and over done as a poached peach would be, but still have a nice consistency secondary to the sous-vide process. Instead what was served was cold and tasted, quite honestly, like a fresh peach. Cucumber granita with buttermilk 10 spice ice cream Pumpkin cooked in fig jus Vanilla cookie with milk caramel and disk Conclusions: I think this restaurant is a fantastic first step for these young men and they absolutely should be commended for it. The food is fantastically inspired and I love some of the risks they took in terms of the dishes coming out. My only and "main" criticism would be that technique can't be present for technique sake. It must be a tool to bring something new to experience. I felt like that happened in the "All things pumpkin" where they made the rind into part of the dish, and made a pasta sheet out of the pumpkin etc, but it completely fell short in dishes like the sous-vide peaches. I hope that they continue to push themselves and continue to grow. For a trio of brothers all under 30 its amazing that they are producing this kind of experience. Beyond that the only thing I would say is turn the music down a bit. A few times it was hard to hear the waiter in the context of how loud the music was.

It's a little noisy of anything but they it is in the renovations to come. We where lucky to be one of a couple table in the room to really enjoy ourselves.

It was really, really good. The restaurant has a great vibe about it. For some people, they'd love to come in summer when out the front there are tables on the footpath and on the inner outside there are bar stools to sit and drink while watching the world go by. Inside, the restaurant has a clean, industrial feel to it. It was busy, but not overly loud. We were seated right away and your placemat is the menu, so you dive right into looking for things that grab your taste buds. Many - if not all - dishes are great for sharing, so we started out with Chipas (mini cheese rolls, mandioca flour, cheddar and parmesan) and the Croquetas of the day, which were chicken and corn. Before those came, we were served up a mini bread roll each with an olive and ricotta dip. Very delicious. The entrees came out and they were heavenly. The Chipas were amazing and I could have just had several serves of those as my meal. The were like mini warm cheese scones. The croquetas were good; had a beautiful crumbing on the outside, but the inside was nice, though nothing to rave about. For the main, I ordered my own Caviche de Salmon. It came with mango, cherry tomatoes, onion and plantain crisps. I didn't much care for the plantain crisps, and I hated the fact that there was coriander in the dish without it being listed on the menu. I would have asked for it without it, as I can't stand coriander. Yuck. Of course, there was something that really stood out to me on the dessert menu, so I had to order it. It was a chocolate fondant, with banana and caramel ice cream. That sounded incredibly appealing and tasted really, really good. My only minor complaint about it, was that it was truly ICE cream. That almost ruined it, but the flavours were everything. There was just a few things I didn't like about True South. One was the tables felt sticky. Two was that you could smell cigarette smoke from outside, even though it's illegal to smoke right outside an eatery. And three, because of the open shutters, it allowed for flies to fly in. Small things I guess in relation to how good the food and service was. Yes, the mains came out slowly, but they were really busy and food was continually leaving the kitchen. Would I go back again?? YES, YES, YES. I really enjoyed the meal and it was something different to usual here in Melbourne. How authentic it is, I don't know. But if you want a great spot with good atmosphere, great food and reasonably priced meals, then this is the place for you. It's worth the drive.
