Starfish Bar, 515 Beaufort Street, Highgate, Phone 9227 8015.
What The World Needs Now … Is Starfish Bar and their Seafood. They shuck their Oysters, grill or fry their Fish and toss their Salads and the food is as fresh as can be.
Nestled opposite the Queens Tavern and snuggled up to El Publico this little Café appears to be holding its own. Considering the calibre of the foodies around them that is no small feat.
Love Starfish Bar’s signature colours of sky blue and white and the vertical gardens, the varied seating and the tiered venue. It’s very twee and appealing.
After some deliberation we ordered two plates of the grilled fish with green salad and chips. The food looked delicious and I couldn’t resist tossing a chip in my mouth which proved dangerous as they were very hot. There’s that awkward thing again.
The fish was chewy and flavoursome and the salad had a great dressing. But the chips could use a little more flavour as they were crunchy but needed some pizzazz. A little pinch of good salt crystals?
Enjoyed the experience and with a plate of food coming in at $15.00 it was good value for money.
Starfish Bar closed in 2017 and the venue has been taken over by Dog Town Beer Food.
