New Quay - Melbourne Docklands   Highlights Fabulous food and wine Harbourside location City views Marina

Opened in late 2002, NewQuay is Melbourne's newest dining precinct, offering a stunning waterfront location and a bustling harbourside eating, drinking and shopping experience.

The NewQuay bars and cafes cover a broad range of cuisines and are run by some of the biggest names in Melbourne hospitality, as well as sporting stars. Visit the modern Morrocan eating house Mecca Bah for delectable middle-eastern cuisine in their relaxed restaurant and bar, or sample fresh seafood at Livebait, a Mediterranean seafood brasserie with stunning 270 degree city and harbour views.  Re-Juice is the perfect place for a healthy pick-me-up, with juices, smoothies, soups and wraps, or enjoy the smooth grooves and cocktails at trendy Cargo.

Visitors can enjoy the vibrant waterfront lifestyle with a range of activities. A focus on public art themes is evident in the precinct as well as water and recreational activities, including bike riding, history walks, cruises and fishing.

Situated opposite Telstra Dome on Victoria Harbour, NewQuay is just one kilometre from the CBD and boasts views back to the city, Victoria Harbour and the Bolte Bridge. The NewQuay Marina services private and public vessels, and when completed, will have 98 berths.
