100 Essential Restaurants
Misty Pot has been named one of Victoria’s 100 Essential Restaurants in The Age Good Food Guide 2027, marking our second consecutive year in the Guide.
Good Food visited during a busy Friday dinner service to film our small Korean kitchen and the team at work. The footage appeared on screen at the official Good Food Awards event and in the online feature.
For our independent restaurant in West Melbourne, it is a special recognition of the care that goes into every service.
