Welcome to Bottarga
A home for flavour, craft, and connection where Italian tradition, Asian nuance, and modern Australian identity meet on the plate.
An Invitation to Taste Our Story
Our menu is an ever-evolving expression of who we are. Each dish is rooted in bold flavour, guided by curiosity, and shaped by the incredible produce of Australia’s finest growers, fishers, and artisans. With native and wild ingredients, housemade elements, and time-honoured techniques, every plate is designed to be shared, savoured, and remembered.
From the open-view kitchen to the warmth of the dining room, Bottarga invites you into the process - the heat, the aroma, the quiet details that make each dish come alive. What reaches the table is only the beginning of the story; the rest unfolds with every bite.

OUR STORY
After four years at our first home on Martin Street, Brighton - where Bottarga was built through hard work, learning, and the support of our community - we begin a new chapter on Bay Street. Founded on the values of a hard-working immigrant family, Bottarga has grown into a cornerstone of Brighton’s Bayside dining scene and one of its most awarded restaurants. This move is more than a change of address; it marks an evolution of our journey and a chance to refine what we love. Our cooking reflects our backgrounds, experiences, and a deep respect for produce, presented with intention and care.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported Bottarga from the beginning. Your trust has allowed us to grow, evolve, and take this next step
