Venues don’t get more picturesque than this.
Setting itself apart from the bars and restaurants of Melbourne is The Boathouse, right on the banks of the Maribyrnong River. A less than thirty minute drive from the CBD promises to land you in a snapshot of Australia’s stunning natural landscape, hosting some of the most important critters to our ecosystem. Take in the flowing water, or step inside to a dining space bathed in natural sunlight.
For drinks on the riverside, the world is your oyster! Serving up all of your favourite cocktails, beers, wines, milkshakes (we know, yum!) and so much more, you’re spoiled with what to sip while you take in the view. There are even some good old-fashioned spiders on the menu!
Proving that class isn’t exclusive to the CBD, The Boathouse serve up the most delectable range of wood-fired pizzas as their star dish. Their prosciutto pizza is heaven in a dish with a ricotta base, blue cheese, rocket and pear with prosciutto.
After another option? The Boathouse’s mains are to die for, from fish and chips, to miso glazed cauliflower, to char grilled scotch fillet. If you’re like us, you’ll want to devour the southern fried chicken and waffle sandwich the second it’s set on the table, and nobody can blame you.
The cherry on top of this marvellous mountain of options is that The Boathouse are constantly churning out innovative and mouth-watering specials, so that every experience there is fresh and exciting. Don’t hesitate to sample something you’ve never had before, with a unique twist each week.
For desserts that will have you begging your mates not to eat yet so you can snap a picture, The Boathouse is prepped with the prettiest dishes. The Boathouse white chocolate cheesecake is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t find anywhere else, topped with nut granola and rhubarb syrup to compliment the enticing sweetness.
Or if you’re after something heavier, the death by chocolate boasts a walnut brownie chocolate mousse, chocolate sauce and ice-cream. To. Die. For.
For a moment of relaxation and decadence just a step out of the city’s hustle and bustle, The Boathouse has got you covered with capability and flair.
