Claypots Seafood Bar

Claypots is all about whatever fresh seafood is in season, cooked in a pot - a claypot, that is. Don't bother asking about the catch of the day because everything here is sourced fresh in the morning.

Also, Trendy little bar while waiting for a table.. Cozy , comfy and jazzy!! Friendly service , we came from Adelaide and that's the best seafood joint I've been to and I have been to a lot of them!

Steve

Always a selection of fresh seafood to choose from. Usually very busy, but great that they have a side bar to have a drink or Turkish coffee while you wait for a table.

Kris Growcott

Get there early, 6:30-7:00 for the pick of fresh seafood . If you get there late you'll have less to choose from as they only order in the best. Try the mulled wine at the bar whilst your waiting.

Celeste

Great selection of seafood but surely recommend crispy john dory and sambal stingray . Sea food pasta were average used to be very good

Incredibly fresh seafood . Love the atmosphere, especially at the garden tables. The Mussel Pate with Turkish bread is really addictive.

Mel Rocca

Had the chargrilled calamari , Singapore claypot and the garlic king prawns all I can say is... Wow impressive! Will come back!!! Definitely worth a visit!!!!

Alastair

Service is excellent and efficient (brusque if you're fannying about the menu, but they're rightly busy). Chilli crab excellent - not quite Malaysian style, but great as its own dish. Wear the bib!

Fresh seafood , flavorful oysters and the best mussels I ever had.

Greg Stewart

The garlic king prawns are huge and so good. The mud crab gumbo with mussels is spectacular. The empty shell bowl causes other diners' food envy

Sam Gil

So so good. Prawns in garlic deliciousness sauce are unforgettable.

On Friday nights stay back for the live music in the bar area.

Rustic claypots filled with flavoursome delights from the sea. Dine in the pebbled ivy walled lane way.

Great spot for sunbathing with a friend or two. The breeze helps keep you from getting too hot when it's in the upper 30s degrees. Try the Beachcomber resto for a nice lunch special with drink. - Spotted by D
