Australia prides itself on being a multicultural nation. This is evident when you explore Melbourne or Sydney CBD and see the multitude of different cuisines and speciality restaurants. However given that a large portion of the population lives near the coast, fish and seafood has become extremely popular.

Clean ocean environments around Australia produce high quality seafood that can’t be beat. Local restaurants take advantage of this by featuring seafood such as the southern bluefin tuna, King George whiting, mud crabs, rock lobsters, flatfish and abalone. Many good restaurants near you may even serve a classic fish and chips dish, using barramundi or flake as opposed to the british cod.

When eating at a seafood restaurant, be sure to pair your fish with a crisp white wine. Ask your waiter for suggestions as sparkling wines and reds can also work. Champagne is a great match for freshly shucked oysters.

Restaurants - Common Questions

How do I make a restaurant reservation?

First you need to pick which restaurant you want to go to, as some restaurants only take walk-ins. Then figure out the size of your party, as this will impact your wait time and booking. Lastly, pick a date and time and other options just in case those times are not available.

Do restaurants charge for reservations?

Most restaurants in Australia do not charge when you make a reservation. However some restaurants do take deposits to avoid no-shows or last minute cancellations.

Can restaurants charge for no-shows?

If a credit card is required to make a reservation and it comes with the specific details of its last minute cancellation policy, then they reserve the right to charge if you don't show up or cancel last minute.

What is a call ahead wait list at restaurants?

Some restaurants have a wait list when they receive reservation cancellations. Some casual restaurants accept call ahead seating which lets you put your name down before you arrive.

How long are reservations held for?

Most restaurants generally hold reservations for 15 minutes. If you haven't arrived or contacted via phone within 15 minutes after your booking time, the restaurant can mark your booking as no-show or cancellation and open the reservation to other people.
