Dine at the Best Seafood Restaurant in Melbourne
There’s a very good reason people drive across Melbourne to eat here. Not slightly different. Noticeably different. Most restaurants use gas.
Well-known as the best seafood restaurant in Melbourne, Nikos Tavern uses a real charcoal pit. The same way it has since we opened. Open fire cooking keeps the moisture in and builds a depth of flavour that a gas burner just doesn’t produce.
People who want genuine Greek seafood in Melbourne find their way to our family-run restaurant near Ringwood and keep coming back.
Serving Freshly Sourced and Cooked Meals
We pick up from local fish markets regularly. This is because the best seafood restaurant in Melbourne shouldn’t be serving fish that’s been sitting around. The menu is built around traditional Greek cooking and whatever came in fresh that day, including:
- Signature Calamari
Tenderised properly and cooked over charcoal. It’s the dish that keeps tables coming back.
- Seafood Platters
King prawns, oysters, mussels and scallops. Good for a group that wants to try a bit of everything.
- Catch of the Day
Whatever came in fresh from the market, cooked whole or filleted with herbs, lemon and olive oil.
The kitchen runs a tight service. Food doesn’t sit around waiting and the staff know the menu inside out. Sunday family dinner or a big occasion, people leave full and usually start talking about when they’re coming back.
Ring us and lock in a table.
