Westgarth Fish and Burger

Forget whatever overpriced pub meal you had planned. Those who know their way around Melbourne's inner north point straight to Westgarth Fish and Burger for a proper late-night feed. It delivers that nostalgic, old-school corner chippy vibe, but the kitchen is quietly turning out some seriously elite smashburgers—think lacy, crispy edges, dripping with sauce, and sandwiched in absurdly soft buns. Burger purists hold their WG Fish Burger as an absolute benchmark. Crunchy battered fillets. Tangy pickles. Unbeatable value. And they certainly haven't abandoned the classic Aussie takeaway canon. You’re getting flawless potato cakes, golden corn jacks, and perfectly fried dimmies alongside massive chicken nuggets dunked in a killer turmeric burger sauce. Coeliac crew? They run a dedicated gluten-free fryer just for you. Fast, consistently brilliant, and open late—this is exactly how a neighborhood heavyweight should operate.
