Immerse yourself in a fire grill experience like no other at Friends of Fire on Bourke Street in Docklands. Located in Marvel Stadium Square on the ground level, expect a stylised, modern vibe at this American-inspired Melbourne dining destination with copper piping, individual grill stations and geometric patterned flooring.
Why should you drop in for a meal at Friends of Fire? Here are three good reasons:
What’s your most popular dish/drink:
We recommend trying our Coney Island chilli dog, with cheese, onion and jalapeño, along with our plant-bassed Prego steak roll with chimichurri, aioli, grilled onion and pan con tomate sauce.
Our must-try cocktail is the Strawberry Shortcake – Ford's gin, Pimm’s, strawberry, pineapple, lemon, sugar and coconut milk.
What is your point of difference?
We have reintroduced the New York-style dining experience back to Melbourne that we lost during the pandemic. We use three different grills for cooking our food – meat, fish and plant-based, with our 100% plant-based menu cooked completely on a grill just for those dishes.
What is a fun fact that not many people know about the restaurant?
You don’t need to be a club member to attend our venue, it is open to normal patrons on event and non-event days. Even when attending an event at Marvel Stadium, you can still have good food on your plate and watch the game.
Our biggest point of difference is that when the whole stadium shuts down, you can come back post-game and enjoy yourself rather than getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of traffic.
