Who doesn't like popping out to willy-Williamstown? Out where the marina meets the suburbs. This is where the footpath meets the road without a curb in the way. It's also where the park meets the harbour. In this picturesque comminuty hub, a walk through the park literally takes you to the marina. Amongst the boats and pier, you'll find Pelican's Landing.



Pelican's Landing looks like it could be a boat house. Location, location, location gives it a fantastic view of the water. Watching the boats move can easily make you lose track of time. It's one step away from a boat cruise. I always imagine it a great place to zone out and momentarily forget about the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Fish and chips are a staple. It's the perfect location to have them. The sea salt in the air makes it unbeatable. I've ignored everything else on the menu for too long so this time I wanted to try something different. Everything else on the menu continues Pelican's Landing's celebration of seafood.



The enormous prawn tortellini was unusual. Is it more like ravioli? Or perhaps it is more like a wonton or dumpling? The prawn and the pork was nice, however it was confusing to compare it to other tortellini dishes. You could debate about what it should be called instead.



The paella was filled with mussels, prawns and scallops. You'll like the seafood even if you don't like everything else. The seafood aspect was done well and what looked like chorizo was just a hint of spicy. If you have a low spice tolerance then it was spicy enough for you to feel. The consistency of a paella is always a contentious issue. Too watery, too dry and the list goes on. Finding the perfect paella is very hard and cooking it right is very difficult. That night's paella was in between too watery and perfect. Smack bang in the middle, it was very enjoyable.



As time passes, the beauty of your view changes with it. Again you'll find yourself lost in the imagery. Just on the doorstep, you'll find a small pier. Here's a prime spot where you can practise your photography skills. Click away between meals inside or outside of the restaurant.



Pelican's Landing captures the feel of Williamstown. It's the opportunity to have seafood on the marina with a spectacular view of the water. This is a prime example of where the location accentuates the restaurant and vice versa. Whether it's rain or shine, the views justify Pelican's Landing as a prime spot on the pier.
