Trying Kangaroo Meat for the First Time in Melbourne

When in Australia, why not try kangaroo meat? Let's head to Max on Hardware Pizzeria Bar Restaurant! If you ever take a stroll down Hardware Lane in Melbourne, you'll immediately notice the charm of this street. It's lined with restaurants on both sides, with tables and chairs set up along the walkway, soft music playing in the background, giving off a very European vibe. One of the most eye-catching spots here is Max on Hardware. This restaurant offers both outdoor seating, where you can enjoy the breeze and the atmosphere, and indoor seating, which feels warm and cozy. But the menu item that truly caught my attention was the Char Grilled Kangaroo. Since I was in Australia, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try something unique to this country. When the dish was served, the aroma of grilled meat was irresistible. The kangaroo meat was grilled to perfection—not overcooked—so it remained tender. The taste is somewhat similar to beef but has its own distinctive character. Personally, I found the smell to be milder than I expected. It was served with sides like roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables, which complemented the dish perfectly. This meal was truly a culinary adventure for me. Apart from kangaroo meat, the restaurant also offers a wide variety of pasta and pizza. Judging by what other tables were ordering, those dishes looked equally delicious. Overall, this restaurant is not just about great food but also offers a memorable experience with its excellent ambiance and intriguing menu. If you're curious about trying kangaroo meat, this is the place to go. Location: Address: 143/145 Hardware St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
