Fish 'N' Grill
Handmade potato cakes and light, crispy batter define this authentic seafood experience, complemented by friendly and efficient service. However, some find the fish slightly dry and dislike the heavy use of chicken salt on the meal.

“The Best AUTHENTIC fish and chips in Melbourne How anyone could give this place anything but 5 stars is beyond me, really! Don’t be fooled by the Toorak address either. This place combines the best of old-school 1970s expertise (read, the best handmade potato cakes I’ve ever had) with all the modern versions of seafood you want cooked for you. Try”
