Franklin St

Home of 1836 Restaurant

Once known as Benjamin on Franklin, this iconic venue has been reimagined under the Union Bridge banner, blending its storied past with a fresh new spirit.

Now home to 1836 Restaurant, a hidden dining room dedicated to fire-driven modern Australian fare, Union Bridge on Franklin is where old-world charm meets bold hospitality.

She’s the younger, sassier sister of our Cudlee Creek original, a little more city, a little more spark, but cut from the same cloth: local flavour, laid-back luxury, and damn good times.
