Claypots Barbarossa - Melbourne

Fresh seafood, generous portion at an affordable price. We ordered marinara pasta, grilled king prawn, octopus and seared swordfish to share among 3 of us. For dessert we ordered poached pear and earl grey panacotta. We enjoyed every dish thoroughly! My most favourite dish would be the grilled king prawn. Seafood was fresh and flavourful. We also ordered a bottle of Moscato and the whole meal was only around $180! Service was great too! <br/ <br/ Overall, it was a lovely dining experience and I will definitely be back again.

I ate here with my partner where we shared the clam and ham chowder, oysters, grilled veggies, cuttlefish and the seafood pasta. Every dish was delicious and a generously sized portion. The whole meal including wine was under $80 which is an incredible price for such quality food. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can.

Claypots doesn't look like much but it's much loved by many people I know so I finally gave it a try. It surpassed expectations my meal was one of the bes that I've had in a while. They specialise in seafood heavy Mediterranean cuisine but there are plenty of vegetarian options, all of which harness that salty, sour flavour profile that I love.<br/ <br/ I opted to share the pasta puttanesca for my main, which was a huge serve and simple but delicious. Alongside, I got the grilled haloumi which came marinated in a spicy lemon sauce with bread, the Turkish eggplant topped with caponata and served on a bed of garlic oil, and the perfectly hearty and tart crushed potatoes in black garlic oil and sherry vinegar.<br/ <br/ Everything was super flavoured but not over the top and paired wonderfully. The service was also great. My only criticism is that I wish the food was a bit less oily, but otherwise I loved it all.

Good food and environment. I’ve been here a few times already. Highly recommended!

One of the best restaurant in hardware lane. We enjoy the grill king prawn and pasta. Not to mentioned they offer zomato gold deal too.
