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.

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.

    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.

    Loved our experience at Pinchys. The wait staff were wonderful - attentive and helpful. They made us feel very valued and welcome. We ate outdoors in the evening and loved the casual feel of the setting. Despite being at a busy end of Bourke St it felt private and shaded by the tree canopy on the street. Really beautifully presented and tasty food. What we noticed particularly was the delicate balance of flavours. The tuna tartare and grilled octopus were top shelf. The only disappointment was my husband's lobster linguine which he found too spicy. We highly recommend Pinchys for great seafood dining in the city. We'll be back

    Was excited to go back to Pinchy’s for the lobster linguine. On this occasion, the food was terrible, our order was taken incorrectly, one of the mains was missed and we all ate at different times. My lobster linguine was swimming in red sauce with very little lobster/ a few strands of pasta ($48). We ordered a bottle wine, and was poured one glass each, then when it was time for a refill there was barely enough for another two glasses. They had mixed up the wine bottles with maybe another table. Whilst they did provide another glass of wine each and discounted our bill by $20 I was not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends. Value for money is a 1 star.

    First time coming here and had a very enjoyable experience! The oysters were fresh and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable with recommendations. The lobster linguine was the standout dish we ordered. Very delicious the pasta was cooked perfectly! The lobster roll was a very close second! The fries were the best I’ve had in a long time! The grilled octopus, not to be outdone was superb! I’m not a big octopus fan but I enjoyed that dish much more than I thought I would! We finished our meal with a few more fresh oysters, they were that good!
