Melbourne’s viking-inspired eatery Mjolner is once more plating up its own riff on the winter roast, across a rotating selection of fire-licked ‘Beast Feature’ hero dishes. 

At Abbotsford’s cosy old-school pub, the Sunday roast is a much-loved tradition. So much so, it was the first weekly special that made a swift return post-lockdown. 

Sunday session of choice for many a food-loving northsider, Neighbourhood Wine’s long-running weekend roast menu promises to impress. It’ll set you back an easy $65 for three generous courses — plus a cheeky serve of house sourdough.

Epocha’s Sunday roast scored legend status long ago, so fans will be stoked to learn it’s back and ready to warm your cockles this winter. Just as before, the modern European restaurant is serving up a rotating roster of three-course feeds for $65. 

After a bit of a spruce-up the much-loved Rochey is back, with a revamped food offering to match. The Fitzroy pub’s starting lineup is a wintery, roast-focused set menu that’s primed for cosy sessions by one of its three roaring fires.

If you find yourself in the backstreets of South Melbourne on a Sunday afternoon, there’s one thing that should be high priority: a hearty weekend roast at classic corner pub The Montague. 

Historic Carlton pub The Lincoln is best known for its progressive booze offering and its produce-driven gastropub fare — oh, and its time-honoured Sunday roast situation. Bookings are already filling up for the $34 weekly-changing roast specials.
