Dining Without Limits - Experience a Culinary Journey Tailored to Your Table.
Located within the heritage-listed Olderfleet building on Collins Street, Freyja brings together a deep respect for nature and the art of time. Our culinary philosophy is grounded in the use of local, seasonal Australian ingredients, preserved at their peak and allowed to evolve over time. Through thoughtful processes and care, we transform these ingredients into dishes that are honest, down to earth and full of character. It’s a modern interpretation of Australian dining – where nature’s simplicity meets flavours reimagined.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Freya. The food was outstanding, it was original, beautifully balanced and tasted superb. It was hard to pick a favourite dish! They were all perfectly cooked and were wonderfully presented. The waitress (Paula) was well informed on the menu, helpful, friendly but also professional, she was attentive but not intrusive. We had the 'classy pairing' option of alcohol with our meals and the sommelier (Herb) did an outstanding job. Like our food the pairings were perfect. For me, this was the total dining experience, the staff, the food and the ambience were first class. This is a restaurant we will return to and I can highly recommend.

    I had the tasting menu with the standard wine pairing consisting of Australian wine. It was interesting to start the course with waffles and a fresh oyster, and the pate with berries went really well with the waffles. The sourdough bread side was well made and came with the salad and mussels. The protein was a plate of pork and another plate of venison sausages. Pork was a bit chewy but tasty. The venison sauce was beautiful. The dessert was a delight. The wines were well paired and certainly enhanced the dining experience.

    Wait staff were excellent. Ambiance was lovely. Food was an experience that I will likely not do again. Felt like the Chef was trying to put on a show with an eclectic and not very complimentary styled and flavors of food. - I would like to think my palette is well-versed. Our meal was a disappointment. Why would you smoke ice cream?

    The food was outstanding, there so much thought put into ensuring every element harmonised on a plate. And yes, it’s a surprise that did not disappoint. Service was relaxed and friendly. Loved it even more that all produce was local with minimal waste.

    The food was excellent and Rupert our waiter was so nice at explaining the dishes and gave us good recommendations. Best place to celebrate an anniversary. 10/10 would definitely go back again!

    Limited options if you can't eat seafood or pork. Wouldn't recommend chef's selection. Forced to upgrade to wagyu option but not good value for money. I wouldn't go again.
