About the restaurant
Swimmingly Good Seafood
What's in a name? In this case, everything. Owner-chef Michael Bacash has more than 30 years of experience working wonders with food, particularly seafood. At Bacash Restaurant in South Yarra you'll find a modern, clean aesthetic and food that is precise without being fussy. In between courses, savour the views of the Domain and Royal Botanic Gardens outside the huge windows. And don't be shy when it comes to asking the staff for a recommendation on food or wine. They have a wealth of knowledge and are more than happy to share it. If you aren't a huge seafood fan, Bacash is the place that just might convert you. From whole flounder to spaghetti marinara overflowing with prawns, mussels, calamari and juicy seasonal fish, the choices aren't easy. But if you'd rather your dinner comes from the land than the sea, there are delightful options—just as thoughtfully prepared. Next time you're in the mood for fine dining that's all about quality without being pretentious, Bacash Restaurant is the go.
