About Yarra Avenue Seafood & Grill

Reservoir regulars head to this neighborhood counter for crackling, clean-oil fish and chips and golden potato cakes that never taste greasy. The kitchen handles old-school chippy comforts alongside a dedicated gluten-free setup—frying up tender whiting and crispy hand-cut chips in tidy paper-wrapped packs. Steak sandwiches, hefty burger combos, and crisp mini potato cakes keep weeknight family dinners simple, generous, and easy on the wallet. Orders land hot and fast with lemon wedges and tartare sauce packed neatly alongside.

  • Dedicated gluten-free frying: The kitchen fries gluten-free fish and chips alongside standard orders, offering crispy battered seafood and sides with minimal cross-contact worry.
  • Scratch-made chips & potato cakes: In-house cut chips and fresh, crisp potato cakes—including bite-sized mini cakes—skip standard factory-frozen shortcuts.
  • Generous neighborhood value: Substantial burgers, steak sandwiches, and generous minimum chips keep casual weeknight takeaway for two well under thirty dollars.
