If you like seafood, than you have to try Claypots. Their best dish is stir shell plate: an enourmous plate with a lot of mussles crabs and tiger prawns. I love it More

Sensational, fresh seafood has always been my experience at Claypots. We visit regularly and recently dined with interstate friends for Sunday lunch. We were again very pleased with our meal. For starters we each had a garlic prawn, followed by the calamari and then roasted gold band snapper with rosemary and lemon. The food was superb and our guests were... More

We went as a family of 4, of which included my wife's grandma who needed a wheelchair to get about. The place was packed with people when we reached at 8pm, but the owner was extremely patient in answering our queries and getting us somewhere to sit while waiting for our table. They were so glad to help us with... More

Claypots was a regular haunt when I lived in Melbourne, and you could always rely on two things - don't expect to walk up and get a seat straight away at dinner time, and the garlic prawns will be awesome. Nothing much has changed, except once upon a time where you would leave your name with the cheery staff and... More

Arrived at claypots at 9.30 pm on a Tuesday night and were first told the kitchen was closed but seeing our disappointment let us stay. The service style is unique, we were taken up to the menu chalked on the board and talked through it to see what would best go with the flounder we had ordered. The fish and... More

Groovy place! Very noisy so if you don't like noise this isn't for you. Apart from that the food is just fantastic. Highly recommended! More

No bookings allowed and quickly order once you get your seat coz the fishes runs off really quick. The prawn in oil wok is good, gotta dip the bread into the oil - sinful but good. 4 person (dory fish, prawns, squid, tapas + 2 btl white wine) for only $160. More
