About the restaurant
It's worth visiting this Norwood eatery for the funky interior design alone; The Colonist is the epitome of cool with its high ceilings, ornate copper roofing and retro furniture. Having been renovated and re-renovated continuously since 1851, The Colonist now reposes in its own brand of chic. The menu incorporates a range of tapas and share plates and no-fuss Modern Australian mains.
