Best Seafood Dishes & Coastal Flavours in Melbourne

Fresh. Light. Rich. Vibrant. Seeming effortless. There’s really nothing like seafood, especially when it’s prepared by a chef who truly knows what they’re doing.  

That’s the calibre of chefs on the team at Crown Melbourne, and that’s why the seafood dishes here are the kind that you’ll continue thinking about weeks after your dining experience.  

So if you’re looking for seafood restaurants that fuse the freshest ingredients, international cuisines, and some of the best chefs in the city, Crown Melbourne is the place to be.  

As well as being simply delicious, modern seafood dishes give us an insight into different cultures. Thanks to its ubiquitous nature for all countries fortunate enough to have a coastline, seafood is everywhere, and has been everywhere long enough to become an integral part of different countries’ traditional cuisine.  

At Crown Melbourne, we celebrate those cultures and cuisines through our seafood dishes. From Japanese bites to French delicacies, Australian classics to Chinese feasts, you’ll find a cornucopia of international modern seafood right here.  

Japanese Seafood Dishes at Nobu & Koko 

Both Nobu and Koko are renowned for their premium Japanese seafood dishes, and both promise spectacular river views and authentic interiors that feel less like downtown Melbourne and more like traditional Kyoto.  

At Nobu, you can’t go wrong – but the star of the show is the miso cod, or perhaps the sashimi platters. Nobu’s À la carte dinner menu is a work of art, showcasing everything from king crab tempura to lobster dishes and prawns.  

At Koko, it’s all about the seasonal seafood tempura and robata-grilled dishes. Koko’s Teppanyaki menu will have you daydreaming about your next visit, and the freshness and preparation of these Japanese seafood dishes will have you wishing you could try every single item.  

With two world-class Japanese restaurants, choosing which one to visit is no easy feat. You’ll just have to go twice.  

Australian Seafood Dishes at The Atlantic 

With more than 36,000 kilometres of coastline, Australia is quite literally surrounded by seafood. Crown Melbourne takes the best of it and serves it up at The Atlantic.  

There’s a lot to love here. The open kitchen turns your dinner into a show. The local Australian seafood dishes mean that your choices are as sustainable as they are delicious. And the waterfront and skyline views set the backdrop for a spectacular meal.  

The signature dishes here include King George whiting, crayfish, and coral trout, or opt for an Australian seafood platter (hot or cold) for a taste of a little of everything.  

French Seafood Dishes at Bistro Guillaume 

Bistro Guillaume is a reminder of why the French are renowned for their cuisine. Exceptional barely begins to cover it.  

The must-try French seafood dishes here are the scallop entrées and the Poisson à la Meunière. It’s simplicity is done to perfection, and it’s all paired with premium wines and fine dining service.  

Chinese Seafood Dishes at Silks 

When done right, Chinese seafood dishes are a display of artistic expression. That concept comes to life at Silks, where each dish is presented like a work of art, and each bite is a revelation.  

With Cantonese-style cooking and banquet settings, this is an ideal destination for group dining. The luxurious interiors give the experience a welcoming and distinguished air, and the live seafood tank options of lobster, crab, and barramundi add a sense of theatrics to the meal.   

Seafood Buffet Dishes at Conservatory 

Indulgence. Buffet. Seafood. They’re not words that usually work together, but that’s the magic of Conservatory.  

This is an elegant dining space with grand interiors, marble floors, and views out over the Yarra River. While the international cuisines and open kitchens are true drawcards, it’s the seafood buffet that will appeal to the seafood connoisseurs.  

Take your pick of numerous types of seafood, such as Pacific oysters, Queensland wild tiger prawns, New Zealand omega mussels, scallop ceviche, and so much more. At this station, you’ll find seafood dishes with global influences and rotating seasonal offerings.
