Pippies By The Bay

I booked this place on a whim, purely because it was next to where we were staying...

It was so good! Their seafood dishes are amazing, as are their deserts.

The kids also loved their meals (there is a kids menu)! If you let the staff know you have children on advance, they will cater with drawing paper and pencils etc to keep them engaged.

The cray fish is one of the best we've ever had. Very fresh, definitely not frozen or chewy.

There's lots of passion put into the dishes here. And you'll know it when you feel a high with no alcohol, just from enjoying the foods with great energy.

Visited to celebrate by birthday with my partner. I could not fault our experience. Excellent service, so friendly and approachable, we never went without or needed to look for assistance. The food is amazing. Highly recommend the tasting plate and we had the share platter for main.
I cannot wait to visit again. Thankyou Mandy and Max for making this such a wonderful night for us!

Really nice place! We got fantastic fresh seafood, with excellent vine. Served by very friendly staff, with a view overlooking the ocean. Interior decor is stunning.

Food and service were very good and we had wonderful views to look at while eating our meal

The food here is phenomenal. I had the half crayfish special for lunch, then came back again for dinner and had the prawn linguine. Both were amazing and the staff were lovely. The outside view looks out over the Flagstaff Maritime Village and the ocean. A MUST to visit!

Lovely dinner with one of the best views in Warrnambool. Very reasonably priced for such nice food. I had the barramundi and my partner had the snapper. Beware the snapper if you don't like bones in your fish - but otherwise was great. I didn't have any wine but they have an extensive list if that's your thing. Definitely worth a visit.

WOW This restaurant was beyond my expectations. The atmosphere is fresh clean and modern with indoor and out door seating. The freindly staff were very professional and on point with their service. The scenery looking out over the ocean breathtaking and the food OMG amazing flavours that just melted with every bite. A great menu variety and price range is very reasonable.
Bookings are best in advance as Pippies is a very popular restaurant. I will definitely be returning again and I have to say a true new favourite 10/10. Do yourself a favour and indulge in a great dinning experience at Pippies.

Service was absolutely amazing with great food and atmosphere! will definitely be back!

Lunch 20/11/21!

Young friendly staff were so kind and lovely! They were so good with their Covid compliance which makes me feel really good about supporting them and know they are doing the right thing for the region and all their patrons!

The seafood was some of the best I have ever had and the atmosphere was great too! Thanks to the waitress who suggested a lovely bottle of sav which really made for a great lunch.

The spring rolls weren’t anything special but everything else was delicious!

- Pippies Fish Platter
- Scallops wrapped in prosciutto
- Oysters Kilpatrick
- Vegetarian Spring Rolls

I had the lobster with chips and salad, mum had the seafood plate.
Amazing staff with amazing service and the food was really good.
Surprisingly I preferred the Bombay bug on mum's plate and she preferred my lobster!
10/10 would go again but I think I'd get the seafood plate instead I enjoyed trying all the bits on her plate it was good quality food.
Get the sticky date pudding if you want to feel like you've gone to heaven. Haha.

Great ambience and lovely views of the ocean. I ordered the Chef's special Crayfish dish, and it was delicious. Will come again when I visit Warrnambool.

A delightful venue and although seafood and crayfish is "super delicious" there was enough of a selection to tempt the taste buds and satisfy any diner. Service was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Warrnambool.

Absolutely perfect execution of our mains and dessert (we'll have the lime cheesecake again), attentive service and stunning views. Well done and thank you for a beautiful dinner.

Fantastic seafood overlooking the sea! The fish was truly excellent, both the Flounder and the Barramundi. The wine was also excellent, particularly the Coronella Pinot Noir from the Mornington Peninsula. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Overall a highlight of Warrnambool! A fantastic experience all round!

An absolute must for dinner. Amazing food and drinks menu with a great view over the water. Settle in and enjoy this great restaurant.

Excellent location. Service was great. Food and coffee was delicious. Only went for breakfast and prices were quite reasonable.

In these different times it's nice to be able to take time out and have a date night.Second time I've been here and it never disappoints me. Fresh entrees, great fish platter, reasonable prices. Highly recommend the deep fried oysters with wasabi and pickled ginger delicious!! Vanilla Galliano with ginger ale was so tasty I bought a bottle on way home.

Beautiful restaurant overlooking the old timey village, with balcony and indoor seating m, plus gift shop. Large seafood selection on the menu, though I had their Chicken Parmigiana and it was delicious (and also reasonably priced). Forgot to take a photo but definitely high end pub level parma. Iced coffee more affogato style and could have used some actual ice to keep cold on a hot day, but otherwise great! Service also top notch. View is from the balcony

Came here for dinner. Views were great. Every dish coming past resulted in food envy. But the winner for me were the oysters with wasabi aioli and pickled ginger. OMG. Phenomenal.
