The menu, like the venue, is tight and focuses on cult German specialities, all adapted to a more accessible, street food format.

Hofbrauhaus Melbourne's infamous Pork Knuckle will be available fresh from the rotisserie. slowly roasted on the bone with crispy crackling and served on a bed of sauerkraut, mustard and gherkins. For a classic German street food experience, the Currywurst is one to note; featuring a traditional Bratwurst topped with a tomato-based curry sauce. But it doesn't stop there. Little Hof is home to the city's most prominent, and best Bretzel wall, stocked with perfect bakery goodness, baked fresh in store each morning.


As for the drinks, the Bier selection is imported straight from Bavaria and Austria, paying homage to the authentic European market experience. General Manager, Phillipp Hockenberger comments "Our philosophy is to support only family-owned breweries, to protect the industry from the take over of shareholder-driven global companies." Find out more about what Phillipp has to say here .

This latest venture comes from the team behind the iconic German Bierhall Hofbräuhaus Melbourne in the heart of Chinatown - the oldest Hofbräuhaus outside of Europe. Melbourne's strong ties with German cuisine inspired the team to venture into the street food market. Indeed, there is no better place to do that than the South Melbourne Market. While the market itself boasts a diverse culinary landscape from all corners of the globe; one thing was missing - German food, and Little Hof aims to bridge that gap. Bringing an authentic German street food experience to the market patrons, the team explains that they "want to bring back that memory from (customers') last Europe trip and surprise people with (their) food."


Designer Matthew Kent (Director of Mariljohn Commercial Kitchens) is the powerhouse behind the interior, having designed and constructed some of Australia's most stunning venues. The small, cosy space is not short of impact, using bricks from it's older sibling The Hof Downtown favouring an industrial, Berlin-chic vibe. One wall is dedicated purely to telling the story of German Street Food, featuring images of a Berlin sausage vendor in 1908, a Bretzel saleswoman at the 1920 Oktoberfest and the invention location of Currywurst.

Emphasising everyday convenience, the venue hopes to act as a social space for Melbournians to connect over a few drinks, a bite to eat and a love for German culture. Bringing the essence of German street food culture to Melbourne, there is no doubt that Little Hof will be a South Melbourne Market mainstay. Whether you're looking to broaden your cultural horizons, fill your belly after a market visit, or enjoy a few sociable biers, there is something for everyone at Little Hof. It's a great place to hang out with friends, or make new ones before starting the night or just to bring the whole family after a busy day of work, school or shopping.
