Westgarth Fish & Chips - Melbourne

As a Northcote local, love this place and we kept coming back consistently. The flake taste like real flake, potato cakes are fantastic, and batter not too oily. Minus one star because one time we received 4 dim sims instead of 4 potato cakes, had to go back and by the time they made us potato cakes the food has gone cold. On top of that, they took the dim sims away! So my advice is, always ask for the receipt so you can double check if they got your order right before they start making it. Apart from this isolated incident, glad we have a reliable fish and chips shop in the neighbourhood!

The best fish and chips in Northcote! The potato cakes are a must-try. The chips and grilled fish are always delicious. Consistently good food and quick service.

A humming little business on the day we arrived. Their biggest selling point for our Palace Movie group is that they do gluten free fish and chip options with a seperate oil vat for cooking the gluten free items. The chips are delicious with adequate salting. I couldn't tell the difference between the taste of gf chips vs the non-gf as there wasn't a beer batter coating so assume it's the oil vat segregation that makes the gf. The batter on the gf fish was a little less appealing than the normal batter but equally as tasty. We ate in the limited table space provided using plastic cutlery but clearly most were people were taking away. Handy for a quick bite to eat when rushing from work to get to a French film festival screening.

My partner and I had some fish and chips before seeing a movie down the street. A nice classic fish and chip store that serves your standard fish and chips.

The chips are always perfect - hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The fish, whether fried or grilled, is consistently fresh and never soggy. Their hamburgers and souvlakis are also great, made with moist, fresh ingredients and generous portions. We always add on extras like dim sims, potato cakes, onion rings, crab sticks, calamari rings, butternut pumpkin cakes, and scallops to our order, which makes the total come to over $120 each time. But trust me, it's worth every penny. If you're looking for the best fish and chips in the North, don't waste your time. It took me 25 years to find the best, and it's definitely here at Westgarth Fish and Chips. You won't be disappointed!
