Melbourne Restaurants

Drawing from an abundance of luscious seafood, fresh Australian produce, and regional wineries, The Box Seafood Restaurant experience will be one you will always remember. Our creative team of chefs and dedicated floor staff ensure your meals are prepared to perfection and delivered to you within our cosmopolitan Collins street address. Locating us is also easy as we are next door to one of Melbourne's breathtaking landmark venues The Regent Theatre.

The Box Seafood Restaurant menu takes the experience one step further. You'll find a variety of fresh fish and shellfish preparations that draw upon coastal cultures Australia wide. And as always, generous, tempting specialities of beef, game, poultry along with vegetarian offerings abound when you crave a non-seafood fish.

We use only the freshest, highest quality seafood and only from sustainable stocks. Our emphasis on Australian produce also ensures flavourful, seasonal dishes that translate beautifully into delicious main courses and entree dishes.

For intimate dining, a banquette-lined 80-seat restaurant and two private dining spaces
invite guests to settle into more substantial items from the menu by Head Chef Geoff
Martin , including pasta made in-house daily and a considerable element from Marameo’s
grill.
Delivering the Italian aperitivo, the north-west facing terrace encourages patrons to while
away sunny afternoons well into the evening. Developed by Badr and Sommelier Tom
Maiden ( Jackalope ), the drinks list offers a dedicated spritz section, a wide range of spirits,
a concise cocktail list of elevated classics and house signatures like the four-month
barrel-aged negroni, as well as a 300-strong wine list.
Whether visiting for a good time, a long time or anything in between, Marameo will offer a
fresh and vibrant experience at the iconic Melbourne laneway site; patrons need only to
enter through the white door and let the fun begin.

Pure South Dining is a modern, special occasion restaurant in Southbank with iconic views down on the Yarra river with a stunning Melbourne CBD backdrop. The cuisine draws inspiration from farmers, fishermen and artisan producers of King Island, Flinders Island & Tasmania.

We visit the pristine Tasmanian ‘pure south’ regularly to continue to improve the dining that we offer you. The solid relationships that we have built with farmers and fishermen over 13 years ensure the quality of the produce that we deliver to the table for our guests.

King Island Beef, St Helens oysters, Bass Strait scallops, seafood and quality dairy products are delivered weekly by small planes from Tasmania and the islands.

Our much loved restaurant has been re-launched in 2017 over two levels: Upstairs is the awarded Dining Room; reborn with a modern twist.

We are in the Southgate building over two levels. Our more casual all-day eatery and bar opens on to the Boardwalk at River Level, and our more sophisticated Dining Room is Upstairs at Mid-level with lift and escalator access. The dining room hangs over the boardwalk and guests enjoy magical views down on the river and the city skyline. The space is newly renovated and simply stunning.
