Northern Git - Food VIC

4 /5 Amilliah: I went to Northern Git for lunch on a sunny day and had a pretty enjoyable time. The roast lunch was satisfying, the meat was flavourful and the Yorkshire pudding was massive, filled with roast, spuds and gravy. It felt hearty and warming. The venue has a friendly, relaxed pub style vibe that works well for a casual lunch. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, which was perfect for the weather and made the meal feel more relaxed and comfortable. The Yorkshire pudding wasn’t crunchy like a classic roast pudding, it was a bit too soft for my taste. There’s a weekend (and public holiday) surcharge, which bumps up the price a little compared with weekday rates.

2 /5 siavash ghorbani: Unfortunately, I didn’t have a great experience here. For $221 for two steaks and two drinks, I expected much better. The menu states the steaks are 80-day dry-aged, but based on taste and texture, I doubt it. If you’re really dry-aging that long (which adds to cost), the result should be more impressive. Instead of extending ageing time, sourcing higher-quality cuts would likely deliver a better result. For reference, 100g of premium steak costs around $20–$25 here—$200–$250 should get you Wagyu with a marbling score of 9. Both steaks were cooked on a grill, but there was almost no crust. Grill marks may look nice, but they don’t replace proper searing. The ribeye (ordered medium-rare) had marks but no real crust, and the meat around the bone was nearly raw and very chewy. The eye fillet was wrapped in very salty bacon, which didn’t make much culinary sense to me. The flavour was okay, but definitely not a favourite. For sides, we had the truffle mushroom parmesan. It was fine, but the dominant flavour was acidity rather than truffle or mushroom. The peppercorn sauce also missed the mark—it lacked peppercorn flavour and tasted more sour than peppery. Overall, the food was okay, but nowhere near the quality expected at this price point.

5 /5 Andrew W: On arrival, my table was available. The waiter was courteous and friendly and provided snacks. They had a great British bitter on tap. The food was so good and delicious. We had the Sunday roast - Pork. The Yorkshire pudding was fantastic.

5 /5 Stephanie Watkins: What a gorgeous venue. We love the Northern Git. My husband and I started coming here years ago when we first moved into the neighbourhood. Our go-to is always the pie (drool!), the snitzel, cauliflower croquettes and koftas - Don’t forget the crackling! Over the years, we have brought family and friends along to dine with us and they have all loved it too. The Git’s owners and Chef, Michael and Karine, have been SO welcoming over the years it only felt right to have our wedding here. Best. Decision. Ever. The lead up to our wedding, Karine and Michael were willing to accommodate absolutely EVERYTHING. No query or favour was too big and they truly went over and above for our big day. I only wish we could do it all again! The service (as always) was impeccable and it was great that our guests noticed and gave wonderful feedback. They were all over it! Dietary requirements were all taken seriously and accommodated with vegetarians, coeliac’s and vegan guests all catered for. It made life for us very easy. We had the most wonderful night but we are so looking forward to spending even more dates, anniversaries and birthdays here to see our old friends and enjoy the ambiance, service and good grub that the Git has to offer. Thank you Michael and Karine for making our first ever date one we never forgot and wedding night one we’ll never forget. Absolute legends xx
