About Pelicans Landing

Waterfront dining right on Williamstown’s dockside pairs panoramic Melbourne skyline views with generous coastal feasts. Group celebrations settle in beside Hobson’s Bay for sprawling seafood platters and heaping bowls of chilli-spiked marinara spaghetti tossed with crab, pipis, and calamari. Weekday regulars know to swing by for pub classics like crisp parmas and steak specials that bundle a pint without skimping on quality. From the bar, French Martinis and spritzes flow easily alongside an unexpected cigar list. Diners often round out the table with the warm sticky date pudding drenched in rich butterscotch sauce.

  • Bay & Skyline Views: Panoramic vistas across Hobson’s Bay directly framing the Melbourne city skyline and marina yachts.

Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, table reservations, and ordering to make your waterfront visit seamless

  • Prepare the Parking App in Advance

    Street parking near the restaurant can be difficult, and the local council meters do not accept physical credit cards. Download the local parking payment app beforehand to ensure you make your booking smoothly.

  • Book Ahead for Balcony & Waterfront Tables

    Walk-ins risk facing long waits as tables can be packed, especially during peak afternoon and evening dining. Reserve ahead and request outdoor balcony seating if you want uninterrupted views of the bay and city skyline.

  • Clarify Sides and Order Desserts Promptly

    If dining during bustling services or ordering daily specials, double-check side substitutions and communicate dessert orders early with floor staff to keep meal pacing seamless.
