Step off Melbourne's inner-city laneway and into a welcoming Danish-designed ambiance to enjoy some of the finest Australian beef, cooked with simplicity and restraint – our perfection.
Organic Design
Contrary to its “classic” predecessor in Adelaide, the new restaurant in Melbourne is an architectural first for A Hereford Beefstouw. With its unique and rather organic design, this restaurant marks the beginning of a new architectural style within the concept of A Hereford Beefstouw. With the design focusing mainly on organic materials and shapes, a visit to AC/DC Lane surely offers more than a mere experience of taste. Hence, the classical tradition of decorating our restaurants with contemporary art has been translated into an architectural/artistic whole by young architect Thomas Tørslev Jensen.
True to Core Values
All interior elements for the restaurant in Melbourne are custom-made in Denmark and later shipped to Australia. The floors and tables are solid wood. Danish and foreign designers have designed the restaurant's chairs, and the extensive lighting system is designed and produced by LIBO, a subsidiary of A Hereford Beefstouw. Despite its modern and futuristic design, this restaurant stays true to the traditional core values of A Hereford Beefstouw. These include the traditional open grill, towels hanging from underneath the tables, personal ordering cards, an impressive salad bar, and the distinctive trolleys for carving meats and fish and preparing desserts.
The restaurant can seat 125 guests in the dining area and offers a beautiful bar for pre- and post-dinner drinks.
