MELBOURNE | Paying tribute to the 1970s rock and roll music theme of Prahran’s Greville Street, Angus & Bon is a spacious restaurant, bar and function venue named after the Angus and Malcolm Young and Bon Scott of renowned Australian rock band, AC/DC. Angus & Bon offers something unique to the local dining scene with their approachable menu, and a wood fired grill that takes locally sourced produce to another level.
Motivated by his time working at Rockpool Bar & Grill, Head Chef Declan Carroll masters the method of cooking over a traditional, high heat wood (iron bark in this case) fired grill, as evidenced by the perfectly pink 300g Porterhouse steak we tasted, evenly encased within a mouthwatering charred surface. No small feat given the difficulty of cooking with this type of equipment and the susceptibility to uneven cooking due to the constantly changing temperature of different parts of the grill.
Predominantly showcasing Australian-grown grass fed beef in a variety of cuts and dishes, meat and seafood lovers will rejoice at the protein-driven menu at Angus & Bon. Chicken parfait-filled savoury doughnuts are a highly recommended ‘snack’ item on the bistro menu, as are the crisp-fried Manchego Cheese and Thyme Croquettes. Vegetarians have a varied selection of side dishes to choose from, though they may find it difficult to find more than one main item on the menu that suits their dietary preference.
The bar menu doesn’t stray far from the bistro, converging on a select few snack items alongside a main Classic Steak Frites dish. Emphasising the venue’s appeal to all types of customers and dining experiences, Angus & Bon’s recent launch of a $30.00 Express Lunch menu should prove popular for those seeking a quick and convenient lunch without needing to pour over their elaborate menu. Choosing from a steak, Market Fish and Zucchini Risotto, diners can accompany their main meal with a glass of wine for this affordable cost. Although not necessarily a ‘cheap eat’, getting a quality-assured main meal as is expected at Angus & Bon, alongside a glass of wine, for this price, is worth bragging about.
Similarly not shy is the grandeur of the venue itself. Housed within Prahran’s old Post Office building, this open plan location is wrought with dark timbers and marble surfaces. Marrying old world pizazz with contemporary style, this classy steak restaurant and bar is a big step outside of the low-key St Kilda-located Irish pubs that co-owners Liam Ganley and Margaret Lawless own and manage. With tall glass windows and high ceilings emphasizing a New York loft-style vibe with a touch of sophistication, and an extensive wine rack that compliments their detailed 32-page drinks list, a good time is sure to be had at Angus & Bon.
