| Surrounded by glass, Sails on the bay is a Melbourne restaurant which sits one metre from the golden sands of Elwood Beach making the bay your dining canvas... The sun sets right outside our windows, sparkling on the waters of Port Phillip Bay. The view is uninterrupted and on any given day you can view a cruise liner sailing across the bay, a wind surfer or at night the flickering lights of the West Gate bridge sparkle in the distance. With a location so close to the beach you can almost touch the sand. It's the perfect place to dine, host a wedding, a corporate event or small party. Sails on the bay restaurant began in 1994 with a simple concept - to make our customers into our regulars guests and to ensure that we always remain consistent. Entering our 16th year I hope you agree we have succeeded. The menu is designed to reflect the location, with modern Australian food touched by an Asian influence. Seafood and meat dishes share equal space on the menu, with attention being paid to vegetarian options and guests who require gluten free.
