We can’t stop thinking and talking about the amazing time we had at Clay Pots, 4 weeks ago. Arriving unannounced we enjoyed a drink or 2 in the very cool adjacent bar, admiring the endless array of objects d’art and quirky curios nestled into every nook and cranny. There are mechanised trams running through the roof, cable cars swooping above your head..it really is a good start to the night as you head will certainly be swimming once you have dined next door! We shortly gained our table and placed ourselves in the hands of the highly acclaimed head chef, Neelam. First up were some extremely good king prawns, and coming from Darwin, I know prawns and these were right up there. The wine started to flow and next up was a crustacean platter, mussels to die for, Spanner crab cooked perfectly, some of the best Bugs I’ve ever had and along with all of this we had to suck down some sweet blue swimmers to boot! I thought we may be done, but no..next up was the specialty Cajun spiced Flathead, if you only taste one thing from this establishment , make it the Cajun flathead. Un-bloody-believable! With only the flathead skeleton left and the wine polished off, we adjourned back to the bar where a duet pianist and drummer were kicking into a very cool evening of acoustic French jazz. Along with the food, a highlight was the atmosphere of the whole scene. Staff and locals were friendly, food was of the highest class, drinks were prepared with expertise, I really cannot rate the Clay Pots highly enough. From now on the Claypots in St Kilda is on our must do list when we visit Melbourne.

10/10! What a great place , food was on point , beautiful waitresses, stayed all night in the Jazz bar ! Danced till the wee hours , loved it
