The Morang

New to Hawthorn and conveniently set beside a tram stop, The Morang brings warm, casually polished charm to the neighbourhood. Gentle lighting and an easy welcome make it ideal for weeknight dinners, relaxed dates and spontaneous catch-ups.

The menu leans into bright, satisfying flavours. Seafood shines with semolina-crusted calamari with lime and pepper, and prawn linguine with roquette, garlic butter and cherry tomatoes. There’s comfort in a creamy chicken and wild mushroom risotto, while the wagyu beer burger elevates a classic favourite.

Larger plates stay generous and approachable: grilled barramundi in Thai coconut green curry, or slow-cooked American-style pork ribs with house barbecue sauce, Tuscan slaw and beer-battered chips. Sharing is encouraged, with panko-crumbed prawns, peri peri chicken and an easy kids’ offering.

Desserts play it nostalgic, from a passionfruit and raspberry Bombe Alaska to a crowd-pleasing berry cheesecake. With a tidy list of wines, there’s always something to suit the moment.

Drop in anytime for some good food, good company and a relaxed neighbourhood vibe are always on the menu.
