SALTY DOG SEAFOOD AND GRILL

Salty Dog Seafood and Grill sits on McLaren Parade in historic Port Adelaide, by the water in the heart of the heritage-rich port. A well-regarded seafood-and-grill restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality seafood and grill fare — the kind of relaxed yet accomplished dining that's become a genuine local favourite in the atmospheric old port.

The appeal is that combination of fresh seafood, hearty grill fare and a lovely waterside-and-heritage setting, ideal for a relaxed meal, a special dinner or a catch-up by the water. With Port Adelaide's museums, markets and historic streets close by, it slots naturally into a day exploring the area.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or visiting Port Adelaide for a meal by the water.
