THE NINTH CLOUD — Restaurant in Wollongong City Council

Moomin is on The lower end of Crown Street in Wollongong and it’s a little gem that is definitely worth checking out.

The theme is Czech home style food and there is a lot of great dishes on offer.

The dumplings are my favourite but there is less exotic options for those without an adventurous streak including loaded fries and good old schnitzel.

There is an equally impressive drinks menu and the cocktails all come in varying types of interesting glasses and cups. Some are served on grandmas China which looked hilarious in the hands of my rather stout truck driving friend but it all adds to the fun of the dining experience.

Don’t forget to pay a buck for a duck and get a very cute little rubber ducky in one of your cocktails to take home as a souvenir.

The only down side was that even though the staff were very friendly I felt that they were under the pump and understaffed. The service suffered because of this and we had some meals come out at weird and wonderful times. Nevertheless I will definitely be back again and would recommend Moominn to anyone looking for a fun and tasty...

Moomin is a delightful bar in the heart of Wollongong CBD. I booked a large table for my sister's Hens dinner. Communication in the lead up to the night was good. The food on offer was a small variety of share plates, Vietnamese and Hungarian in flavour. The food was extraordinarily flavourful, and surprisingly filling for the serving sizes. Everyone in our party also enjoyed the unique cocktails on offer as well. The only reason i give a 4/5 is lack of communication between staff members about my access needs prior to our arrival. As a wheelchair user, I made sure to select the 'person in wheelchair' option in the online booking. Unfortunately, floor staff on the night were not informed, and a high bar table was booked for our party. As Moomin Bar is on the cozy side, the lower tables were already full. Luckily a party of fellow diners saw our predicament, and offered to swap tables with us so that I could eat and drink at eye level with my group. Aside from this hiccup, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience...

What a great little, querky cafe/bar this is. We were there to celebrate my wife birthday. We had not been there before, nor seen it, but from the photos and the reviews I thought it would be just the ticket. And it was!

A small but good menu, featuring Czeck and Asian food was good, andcthey have a great wine list (by the glass or bottle) and will make suggestions about wine and food combinations. The wine list is not outragiously priced either.

Meals tend to small but enough to satisfy and they encourage meal sharing.

On their Facebook page they say Moomin is a collecton of all the things they love. From our experience this holds true. I suspect they also love their patrons as the service was very friendly and helpful.

If you're looking for something a bit different give Moomin a go.

PS - look up Moomin in your favourite search engine; they are Czeck cartoon characters. You've probably seen...
