Melbourne’s best Champagne bar & Seafood restaurant now includes meat into the menu with new Executive Chef Pieter Buijsse.

Pinchy’s seafood restaurant and champagne bar is a seaside oasis in the heart of Melbourne. Inviting our guests to experience typically indulgent delectables such as lobster rolls, our new Wagyu beef burger with smoked crispy tuna bacon, we seek to make the finer flavours in life more accessible, encouraging our guests to enjoy shared dishes in a casual style.

Located in bustling Bourke Street, Pinchy’s boasts one of Melbourne’s favourite balcony bar destinations, with an insta-worthy interior to boot. So if seafood and champagne, cocktails or chablis tickles your fancy, you know where to find us.

    Pinchy's serves amazing seafood dishes, and the menu options are excellent. If you don't know what to choose, you can take one of their tasting menu options which are great. I highly recommend the Lobster Roll for main course, it tasted sensational. Also great were the crab taco starter and the octopus entree. Our waitress was so helpful, and the service was awesome. A little pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for and Pinchy's was well worth the price. 100% recommended!

    Really friendly staff and cool atmosphere. Food was delicious but portion sizes of mains were small for the per plate price. Overall not a bad place to eat and with a few small tweaks could be something special

    the food is really good, but you’ll wait ages for it. Our waiter was nice enough but presumably spread too thin because we didn’t see him often. When we were like 40 mins into waiting for mains he came up and asked if we were waiting for mains.. not sure what else we would be doing there for that long haha. One of our party got the fish which was listed as coming with potato millefeuille, but it came out with chips - they were nice enough chips, and at that point we’d been waiting ages so we weren’t going to kick up a fuss about it but we were surprised nobody mentioned there’d be a replacement when it was ordered.

    Wagyu burger a little too salty for my liking. Cocktails and mocktails were great though

    Lovely food! A delicious and different seafood meal. Ambience was very good, particularly the deck area (we ate inside which was nice too). The service could have been quicker to start with given the restaurant was only half full at that time, but improved later on. The wines were good too. We saw many people enjoying the cocktails too.
