The world has given us much to work with, which, when tempered with skill, is all that is needed to achieve brilliance; a fact that the chefs of The Atlantic will heartily testify to. Only the finest ingredients go into the creation of the delicacies served at The Atlantic, treated with the utmost respect to bring out the subtle flavors hidden beneath the obvious, each more exquisite than the last. Wild, sustainable seafood, oysters, shellfish, rare pork breeds, lamb, grain-fed beef and free-range poultry are combined with locally-sourced, seasonal produce to create magic. Located along the South bank of the Yarra river, the restaurant offers diners a chance to savor a spellbinding view over the city while feasting on the fruit of the rivers and the ocean. While seafood is the specialty, the meat, poultry and vegetarian options are no less exquisite. The decor is sumptuous, modern and contemporary in design, the perfect complement to the eclectic and inspired menu.

The nondescript frontage of Claypots Seafood Restaurant can be misleading. While it may not be high on decoration, the food is hearty and very flavorsome. It looks small too but is almost tripled in size when the long and narrow back courtyard is included. For seafood that does not have the usual seafood price tag, you really cannot beat what Claypots offers. Choose from four different clay pot meals in two different sizes: simple and straightforward. You may like to try Maghirabi fish soup or a whole flat-head with Cajun spices.

The sleek and contemporary Lobster Cave offers diners an unforgettable dining experience in the midst of friendly faces. Exceptional value for money is part and parcel of the experience, with plenty of prix fixe meals and specials to choose from. On the more decadent side of things you will find dishes like the Ferg Burger with half a seared rock lobster, barbecued jumbo prawns and a fillet of dry-aged, Black Angus beef, rock lobster with béchamel sauce, pecorino and crumbled feta, and pan-fried baby abalone with burnt butter, chilli and smoked sea salt. The ambiance is one of exuberance, while the menu is a study in the perfection of all things seafood. Decadent, yet inviting and free of pretension, the Lobster Cave invites you in to savor and enjoy the exquisite taste of the fruit of the ocean.
