Southgate Precinct, Shop 20/3 Southgate Ave, Southbank VIC 3006, Australia
What travelers say:
A century-old restaurant in Melbourne on the Yarra River, the history of the restaurant can be traced back to 1902, when the Zampelis family from Greece came to Melbourne and founded this seafood restaurant. But it doesn't look like an old restaurant, a typical Australian restaurant with a bit of style. The interior is elegant and the outdoor is lazy.
💁♂️Service: It was sunny in the summer evening, so we chose the outdoor. It is said that the restaurant should be reserved, but we came very early and there was almost no one, so we could choose a non-reserved seat. However, the waitress took us directly to the wall seat, ignoring our desire to face the river. Fortunately, I asked a young man again, and he confirmed that there was a view seat, so he immediately arranged a riverside seat. Later, he introduced himself as Peter and served our table all the time.
🍽️Taste: The menu for three people is "Mussels", "Seafood Rice", "Vegetable Salad", "Steak" (two portions are enough), with additional appetizer bread. The quality is beyond words, the beer is cool, the breeze is not dry, and it is a satisfying meal.
💰Value for money: Three people spent $345, equivalent to about RMB 1,500.

Super fresh oysters, squid fried just right with special sauce, highly recommended to eat the steak here, charcoal grilled steak locks the juices, It really makes me recall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10 points recommendation
I came to the century-old shop by the Yarra River again 🍴Waterfront Southgate to eat seafood🦞 Their oysters are really delicious 😋 I was so happy to see my little youngest sister again🥳Happy😃👭
To locate in advance, the luxury seafood dinner is great, the western cold steak is good, the seafood pasta [flavor] good quality [environment] lively near the Yarra River [service] pour wine in time, there is life in the eyes
A restaurant by the river, we went to the 88th floor to see the panoramic view, the result was too late, downstairs, dinner has not been eaten, just check online, this century-old store nearby, business is very good, eating is basically formal, it seems that this should be a local high-end restaurant, After entering, I found that indeed, the price of the dishes here is not cheap, the taste is OK, that is, the menu is not very clear, and the restaurant has a lot of people. It is recommended not to go when there are many people, otherwise the waiter will not have time to take care of you. ~
Recommended oysters. Very fresh and sea-flavored. Australian oysters have a bitter taste, which turned out to be high-quality oysters. Seafood platter . I didn't order the biggest one, I ordered a small portion, but there are many of us who can't finish eating two layers including green mouth, fried salmon ring, clams, lobster, blue crab, grilled fish, prawns and scallops, all fresh, can satisfy the desire to eat different seafood at a time.
Had three lunch specials. Great food, very generous. Good service (thanks Sarah). Beef stuffed dumplings and prawn flat noodles were great, but will eat whole fish next time as they look great and wine prices are reasonable for Melbourne. The dessert was great and the location was great, will definitely come back.
