Melbourne is an Australian metropolis that is ideally situated for bringing in fish and other seafood straight from the ocean. The abundance of seafood has filled the city with seafood restaurants. Most are very good, but a few stand out as the best in the city. Seafood is everywhere in Melbourne, so if you really want to sample the best, you need to be pointed in the right direction. Let's get you started on a culinary adventure your taste buds won't soon forget.

The Ink Bar and Seafood Restaurant

The Ink Bar is in a historic location that was once the Jika Jika Hotel, considered a landmark in Melbourne. The Jika Jika was later renovated into an upscale seafood restaurant, and then later renovated into its current form as The Ink Bar and Seafood Restaurant.

The Ink Bar provides a quiet, contemporary atmosphere that is suited for quiet dinners or business luncheons. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday, offering lunch service at noon and a dinner service later in the day.

Fish Seafood Restaurant

If you don't need an upscale environment and haven't made reservations a week ahead of time, the Fish Seafood Grill is a place to try. The restaurant features a very large dining area, meaning there is always a place for hungry customers to sit.

The Fish Seafood Grill provides these patrons with a friendly, family style dining environment, and believes in providing an abundance of food at reasonable prices. Aside from the specially grilled seafood entrees, the restaurant also features a large seafood buffet that supplies a never ending stream of fresh fish.
