Meet Bill Ferg, the heart and soul of Melbourne’s iconic Lobster Cave. With over 35 years of unwavering dedication to delivering incredible service and spectacular seafood, Bill has become a Melbourne institution. His passion for Lobster Cave was sparked in the 1980s when he worked as a waiter, and it only intensified after he purchased the restaurant in 1987 and transformed it into a household name.
Under Bill’s leadership, Lobster Cave has carved out a unique space in the industry, earning a reputation for sourcing the best seafood and hiring the most dedicated and talented staff. The result is a family-friendly atmosphere that has become the destination of choice for generations of celebrations, from first dates to milestone birthdays and cornerstone life moments.
Lobster Cave’s dedication to scouring Australian waters for the highest quality seafood has made it the best seafood restaurant in Melbourne. From the star dish Southern Rock Lobster to jumbo Western Australian scampi, every dish is a celebration of our abundant waters. Lobster Cave sources all produce from Australia, New Zealand and sometimes even delves into world-renowned Atlantic waters in its never-ending quest for the best the world has to offer.
Located in the popular community square of Beaumaris, Lobster Cave offers discerning customers five-star cuisine paired with one of the finest wine lists in Australia – or BYO with no corkage.
