Koji Bird Restaurant is by Reed & Co Distillery

DISCOVER OUR IZAKAYA-STYLE BAR & RESTAURANT IN THE HEART OF BRIGHT, VICTORIA.

Welcome to Koji Bird Restaurant in Bright, where we believe that food is best consumed with great drinks & good company.

Koji Bird is where the spirit of a Japanese Izakaya meets local flavour - a laid-back dining experience at the heart of Bright’s food scene.

 

Koji Bird came to life in 2021, when Reed & Co's chefs/distillers, Hamish & Rachel, were making Koji (Japan's national fungus) for their spirits. They couldn't resist putting the koji to good use over the distillery’s custom wood-fired grill - and Koji Bird Restaurant was born.

Enjoy dishes like woodfire-grilled Koji Chicken, Venison Tataki, Prawn Toast, Koji Cow (steak) and more, all served alongside our handcrafted spirits and signature cocktails.

Open Wed-Sat for dinner from 5pm

Koji Bird Restaurant in Bright offers Japanese-style cuisine with handcrafted cocktails and spirits for a full dinner experience.
