Used a deals.com voucher - absolutely amazing value. Standouts for me were the King Prawn Spring Rolls (3 per serve; succulent with crispy outer + spicy dipping sauce) and the Chocolate + Raspberry Fondant; rich but lovely. Will definitely return and happily pay 'full fare'. Service also friendly and attentive. FYI, BYO wine possible if not using a voucher.
The Richmond Seafood Tavern is conspicuous by its Fitzroy North Location (presumably it relocated from Richmond at some point). One thing that you need to be aware of is that this 'tavern' serves no ordinary pub grub - it's pretty swish dining with prices that reflect that. This is a nice seafood restaurant, not a tavern.
The fish here is exceptional. The King George Whiting is beautifully cooked even if the presentation is austere (you'll see from photos some pretty bare looking crumbed fillets). But the taste is fantastic, and my go to for seafood in the inner north.
Also good are the entrees. I can't go past the oysters - natural, Kilpatrick and Morney - all deliciously prepared. My only criticism is the lack of complementary sides (eg chips, veggies or salad), and on occasion the service is a little carefree, particularly given the price point of the food. But these are small things in what is a worthy seafood restaurant.
Bought a scoopon and were a bit worried by the dark side street entrance but we and had a really great experience Chowder was fab one of the best , prawn linguine was faultless and desert salt caramel tart and ice cream was also great We will def be back Staff friendly and service quick we loved it
A hidden gem in North Fitzroy... Bug tails done in Honey and Sesame; Procuttio wrapped scollops and a Lobster Gnocci that a Nonna would be proud of!!!
Easily the best Seafood in Melbourne - we will be back!
Absolutely love this cute little restaurant in Fitzroy. Great attentive service, nice homey feel but best of all their food is fabulous. I had the pearl perch and my wife had the King George Whiting. Both were excellent but mine was probably the best fish dish I’ve ever had, and I eat fish a lot. The style was the fancy one but can’t remember exactly what it was. You’ll know it when you see it. Absolute recommendation. Tummy rumbling just thinking about it!
An absolute must go to for seafood. It doesn't look promising from the outside, but inside everything changes. It's a lovely setting, there is very attentive and good service; the staff made us feel appreciated. The food topped this of. We had a three course meal each and everything was prepared to perfection - well balanced and just a delight to eat honestly. Making seafood special without overpowering the seafood.
Oh and try the chocolate fondant as a desert!
Great food, atmosphere and staff! We have gone several times with friends and while I agree parking can be tough the fish is always fresh and tasty. My favourite dish by far was the calamari, they give it a really light dusting and it is delicious. Also there is a great little bar for pre drinks and the wine list is very reasonably priced.
Nice spot for some good quality seafood. This place has been there for a long time and they know how to do seafood well. It's good without being amazing. The seafood is really fresh, the entrees were a bit of hit and miss but if you stick to the classics it's not a bad meal.
Absolutely sensational seafood for a fancy night out. It's not cheap but totally worth it. Fantastic service and wine list. I highly recommend the Moreton Bay bugs and the pan fried fish. Fine dining the way I like it: simple recipes with quality ingredients, cooked perfectly.
Old school seafood dining and service experience ....... with a bloody good Seafood Linguine and Chocolate Fondant dessert.
Stand alone "pub" style building, not in your typical "foodie" centrum area, worth the find and enjoyable dining experience. JT-29/08/2017.
