The Boiling Crab, Melbourne CBD

Fans of flavour and seafood feasts, listen up. Louisiana-style Crawfish sensation, The Boiling Crab, is bringing their hands-on dining experience to a brand new location in Melbourne’s CBD. 

Featuring the same extensive seafood selection and communal experience as their flagship Glen Waverley restaurant, the CBD venue on Tattersalls Lane, will host a grand opening on June 30. So, pop on your bib and your gloves and bring an appetite, because this stacked menu is all about eating. 

If cult status on TikTok and 130 million-plus views of the hashtag #boilingcrab are anything to go by, their iconic seafood bag experience is a must-try. Rip open this massive bag of flavour and devour the likes of Moreton Bay Bug, Boston Lobster, crawfish, clams, Abalone, baby octopus and more. Catering for a range of palates, this is a pick your own spice-level adventure, ranging from non-spicy through to XXX rated. There is a range of sauces to choose from, including Cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic sauce. For those who can’t make their minds up, go for The Whole Sha-Bang option combining all three. 

No seafood feast is complete without some chips, and The Boiling Crab cajun fries do not disappoint. Other Louisiana-style sides and dishes include corn on the cob, fried soft shell crab basket and hot wings.

Open seven days a week, The Boiling Crab is walk-in only and offers a range of drinks including beer and classic margarita cocktails.
