I’LL say it. Northbridge Brewing Company is the best restaurant in town.

Its fresh, tasty, fun and well-presented food, partnered with outstanding customer service, made for one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve ever had.

Located in the heart of Northbridge, next to the piazza, the custom-built brewery is forever bursting at the seams with happy punters enjoying a meal and a cold drink.

We didn’t think we’d get a table but we took a punt: as soon as we noticed another couple leave we pounced on their seats and started flicking through the menu.

All the pizzas ($18-$24) looked great and the steaks ($18-$39) good value but committing ourselves to just two mains didn’t feel right considering the large selection of share plates available.

As quickly as we ordered, our table was overflowing with beautiful food.

The roast confit pork belly cubes ($14) sat in a soy and lime caramel that was glossy, sticky and sweet. It was served in a quaint iron pan and came with a tangy Asian slaw which included apple and heaps of coriander. A bad crackling can ruin any pork dish but this was mouthwateringly good with a beautiful, salty crunch.

Standout dish

The standout dish was the snapper croquettes ($10). Golden and piping hot, the generous amount of steamy fish filling was creamy and well seasoned. My one complaint is there were only three. I could have easily eaten another round or two.

In between the croquettes and pork belly we munched away on juicy, tender popcorn chicken ($12). The bites were big and the portion size huge. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the jalapeño, honey and lime dipping sauce but thankfully there was enough of the croquettes’ curry aioli for both dishes.

As a massive foodie I’m not ashamed to admit we also ordered all four sliders ($8) the menu offered.

I was stunned by the size of the burgers but that didn’t stop me devouring three. Kylie was full so she let me at ‘em – there was pulled pork, peppered steak, dark ale cheese, wagyu and tender grilled chicken flying everywhere. It was quite the sight apparently.

That’s all I can write about Northbridge Brewing Company without rushing to my car and heading back for round two. I don’t think I need to say anymore. Just go.
