The Moldy Fig is a family-owned restaurant and bar in Brunswick, bringing the vibrant flavors of New Orleans to Melbourne. Specializing in classic Southern American cuisine, the menu features dishes designed for sharing, creating an authentic southern dining experience. Complementing the food are classic cocktails, local wines, and Louisiana beer, all inspired by New Orleans' rich culinary history—a fusion of French, Spanish, Italian, Native American, African, and Caribbean influences.

Located in the heart of Brunswick East's dining district, The Moldy Fig is easy to spot, thanks to its stunning mural of saxophone legend Dexter Gordon. The venue comes alive with live music every night of the week, featuring an array of jazz and blues performances that create a lively and entertaining atmosphere. Whether you're dining with friends or simply enjoying the music, there's never a dull moment.

Run by the mother-daughter team of Dorelle and Vivian, The Moldy Fig is committed to offering authentic soul food, refreshing drinks, and unforgettable live music. The name, originally an insult, has been embraced by jazz enthusiasts as a compliment to early jazz musicians. With free live music every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Happy Hour from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm daily (and all night on Tuesdays), The Moldy Fig is the perfect place to enjoy a taste of New Orleans without leaving Melbourne.
