Melbourne Bay breathes new life into Docklands

While many businesses have been forced to shut their doors or significantly reduce trading due to the pandemic, a moment worth celebrating took place on Monday, March 1 with the opening of the new Melbourne Bay Restaurant on Harbour Esplanade.

The business’s owner William Comley and his staff were joined by Federal Greens MP for Melbourne Adam Bandt and State Greens MP for Melbourne Ellen Sandell who cut the ribbon on the new restaurant.

Mr Comley, who also operates the adjoining Harbour Coffee House at the ground floor of Life Lab at 198 Harbour Esplanade kept his business open to locals throughout of Victoria’s COVID-19 lockdowns.

He has now expanded into the corner shopfront next door with the licensed Melbourne Bay Restaurant, which offers a Chinese-Australian fusion lunch menu and an extensive beverage list •
