5 Restaurants to Find Sensational Easter Seafood on the Plate

Easter and seafood are a match made in heaven – think plump, briny oysters, scallops on the half-shell and buckets of prawns!

Nestled in the Coconut Grove Building, chill out on aqua banquette seating beneath vibrant wall art indoors, as statement pendent lights cast a warm glow over dark wood table settings; or dine alfresco under market umbrellas as balmy breezes rustle overhead palm trees.

 

 

Drop in this Easter for some of the best premium line-caught fish and seafood, prepared and cooked by a talented team of Chefs – think dishes like a barramundi fillet with kipfler potatoes, seasonal vegetables and lemon butter sauce, or chilli mud crab, with Singapore black pepper and garlic butter.
