About
Macedon Fish Bowl has built a solid reputation in Templestowe Lower, with regulars consistently rating it among the best fish and chip shops in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. The grilled crumbed flake is the signature here, praised for being perfectly cooked every time, and the shop’s careful attention to clean frying oils means the food comes out light rather than heavy or greasy.
The batter is a particular drawcard. Thin, crispy, and golden, it coats thick, juicy fish fillets that regularly earn high praise from locals who make the trip on a Friday night. Chips are fried to a proper crunch, and portions are generous enough to satisfy. Hamburgers are also on the menu and worth ordering, with the owner known to chat with customers while they wait.
Beyond the food, Macedon Fish Bowl is a comfortable place to eat in or take away. The shop is spotless, the setting is casual and welcoming, and the staff are noted for their warmth and enthusiasm. A kids’ menu makes it a natural choice for families, and the venue is wheelchair accessible with free parking on hand.
Open for lunch and dinner, it suits everything from a quick solo meal to a family dinner outing. Phone ahead for larger orders during the dinner rush.

Not bad dim sims – both steamed and fried. Plenty hot enough.
Staff were friendly and considering it was a busy night, the order was taken quickly and food cooked properly. Have tried battered flake from here which was okay.
Wheelchair accessible. Kid friendly. Reasonable parking outside.
Best fish and chips in the area; the batter is very nice thin and crispy and the fish is very juicy and thick. Great portion size. The chips are perfectly fried golden and crunchy. Highly recommended and will definitely be back!
Ordered family pack 1 last night, the fish was over fried and very dry. The batter is worse than before, very thick and hard, not crispy. Salad is ok.
I ordered many times when the Greeks or Italians (not sure their nationality) owned the restaurant, always very happy with the food.
Awesome food, highly recommend the flake fried or grilled. the staff here are fantastic full of joy. Diverse as well with asian and white people. Coming here again every friday!!
The best fish & chips in the eastern suburbs!
The grilled crumbed flake is always perfectly cooked. The oils in the fryers are always clean because the food is not overly greasy or burnt. The family loves coming here regularly 👌

Today I had a hamburger with the lot with no cheese & an ice cold coke. Spoke to the owner while waiting for my burger. 🍔
Always so friendly, lovely staff & spotless shop.
We ordered a very large order of fish and chips for a memorial. The food was amazing. The oil was obviously fresh as everything was crispy and delicious. The staff opened especially for our order. The food was all hot and very high quality. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Thanks to the owners and Steve for making this possible. We got lots of positive feedback from our guests. Thanks again and keep up the great quality of food and service.
