AddressDutch all-day eatery and bar seeking Assistant Manager
Situated on busy Sydney Road in Brunswick, Mokum is the only dedicated Dutch café and bar in Victoria.
Mokum is a sentimental nickname given to the city of Amsterdam and has come to mean ‘safe place’ with the city of Amsterdam widely considered a place where differences are celebrated, and people have been welcomed from all over the world. The culinary scene in Amsterdam also reflects this diversity.
Our Mokum aims to be a ‘safe place’ where people from all walks of life are welcomed warmly and made to feel at home, and our menu celebrates traditional Dutch flavours alongside the flavours and dishes from the Surinamese, Indonesian, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan communities calling Amsterdam home today.
We focus on quality ingredients and make almost everything in-house. This includes roasting our own coffee and making our own cakes and treats. We also pride ourselves on our extensive range of Dutch and Belgian beers, along with an extensive list of local and imported wines and cocktails designed using liqueurs made in-house from spices and flavours commonly used in Dutch desserts.
