Claypots Barbarossa

Hardware Lane's laneway seafood den, loved for sambal stingray, paella and Friday live music.

Moody, rustic laneway den with dim lighting and old-world decor; a two-piece band plays live most Fridays, pushing the room from cosy to genuinely buzzy.

Live music (a two-piece band, most notably Fridays), a rotating seasonal seafood menu, and a laneway location diners say you can smell from down the street.

Blends Mediterranean, North African and Asian technique rather than sticking to one tradition; reviewers praise the Moroccan-Mediterranean flavours, though one felt the North African framing was inconsistent with the dishes served.

Mostly seen as good value for fresh seafood and generous shared portions, though a few reviewers flag it as pricey for what you get on a bad night.
