About Rubira's

Rubira’s turns out serious, unpretentious seafood feasts inside a fire-lit Port Melbourne pub. No fussy gastronomy here—just fresh catches prepared with classic Aussie hospitality. Regulars start by splitting barramundi spring rolls or bacon-topped oysters Kilpatrick on rock salt, confident the floor team will tally starter counts to match the exact size of the table. From there, order the market fish—like sweet tiger flathead or John Dory—cooked to your exact preference, whether pan-fried, beer-battered, or in egg wash, flanked by hot chips.

  • Heritage Pub Setting: Tuck into fresh catch, oysters Kilpatrick, and house barramundi spring rolls by the dining room fire.
  • Custom Fish Preparations: Choose how fresh catches like flathead or coral trout are cooked—from light egg wash to beer batter.
  • Flexible Group Sharing: Staff seamlessly tweak entree piece counts so everyone at the table gets an equal share.
