Claypots Seafood Bar

Most famous for their Claypot dishes (as the name might suggest). Seafood is always fresh and staff are friendly. Good vibe.

A fine dinner with music. We love seafood and loved the entertainment. This restaurant makes the perfect night out with quality food. I wish we were in the area more often.

Approximate cost: $30

Given the price you pay, they definitely deliver above average. The setting is rustic and slightly eccentric. The focus is seafood, and they devote an open display case with the produce for this purpose. The food is very good, very fresh. It is not premium first class seafood as you would get at a top CBD restaurant charging you top dollar for a small serving. However it is very good seafood, a clear step above the average bistro, and at the average price point.

Pretty unusual sort of environment and the selection was fantastic but some of the favours of the fish selections didn't quite do it for me. The staff were very attentive and the bar area had a very eccentric flair to it. Somewhere worth going to at least once.

This place is fuuuuuuuunky! Great little setting, great music, great bar, lovely cosy atmosphere- beautiful personable staff and wonderful wonderful food. An over all great experience!

This funky little bar is great for a few casual drinks and a catch up with friends. I love the decor and i love the live music. The atmosphere is chilled even when the place is crowded.

Quirky place where you'd expect to see pirates and moody piano player. Really cosy, odd and interesting interior. They had open mike poetry on Monday nights. Affodable wine and gorgeous little courtyard. Very much a local drinking hub. Great staff. All in all, very unique and un-Melbourne-like.

Simply the best fish restaurant in the world. Note: do not sit on the bench seats unless you fancy a visit to the chiropractor afterwards.

my first time here i just went with what the waitress said were her favourites. my group of friends and i ended up with amazing food. we even got talked into the stingray which was not too bad at all! would eat it again. shame it was a little more expensive but it was worth it.

Novelty entertainment and quirky decor!! The food really is beautiful and really caters for seafood addicts like myself.

My review is of the Bar. I haven't eaten in the restaurant, but have eaten the paella at the bar which is awesome. As is the mulled wine. And the Czech draught beer. And the wonderful bar staff. And the funky clientele. And the decor. It's really a great place.

eclectic decor, busy bustling crowd, good food and if the restaurant's too full, the food they serve at the bar is fantastic (love the mussels). the monday night poetry readings in the bar and great music also go down a treat.

Absolutely a must for seafood lovers. Great selection, followed by many wonderful ways to for them to be cooked. I also love the antipasto selection which is a great way to hold off the hunger while the food is being prepared. Another bonus- you can BYO!

This place is great if you're going with a group. You can order lots of dishes and then share them all, so you get a variety of things to eat and the individual price is still reasonable.. The dishes are varied and there are some interesting ingredient combinations. The staff are friendly and attentive and will help you out if you have any questions. Dishes are priced by their size so expect to pay more for a large fish, for example. The bigger your table is, the better value you get when ordering the more pricey menu items.

Oh as for the food itself. It was all awesome!

I love the fish they serve at Clay Pots St Kilda. I went there with some friends of mine on their holidays because as soon as they get back to Australia one of the first things they ant to do is go to Clay Pots! Just a great lace for fish cooked just right

We came here a few months back with a friend from out of town. We ordered a Moroccan claypot, which was delicious, as well as a large crispy John Dory. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, unfortunately, the prep chef needs to be more conscientious about removing scales as my friend nearly choked on some. The bar is also excellent, try the Jules and Jim - addictive!

love it, fresh seafood, yum. It spicy goes down so easy. Love the stirfry shellfish, great value and and interesting decore. The Fish is amazing, the entree's incredible and the flavours are just mouth watering

Approximate cost: $30

My favourite restaurant in Melbourne. Great seafood, great ambiance, BYO whatever drink you want. Good service. Very casual and great ambiance!

Claypots is a relaxed, friendly restaurant with good food. The dishes range in prices and it is BYO which keeps the price down.
