A new seafood-forward restaurant by the Don's team opens on Rathdowne Street
Previous SlideNext Slide $$$$ Cordelia, the sophomore venue by the Don's team, is a little less rowdy and a little more refined than it's Prahran sibling. It's on the same Rathdowne Street block as hatted Bar Bellamy, and is more restaurant than bar, homing in on sustainably sourced seafood. Seafood comes via Sydney-based supplier Andrew Joseph, also known as The Afishonado. Driven by what's available, the menu shapeshifts day to day – and isn't posted online. There are some constants, though. Always expect pasta, like a bouillabaisse-inspired Moreton Bay bug casarecce; a 'hectic, KFC-looking' fish burger (only served at lunch Wednesday and Thursday) akin to the fried-chicken sandwich at Don's; and a hibachi-grilled whole fish. Beyond that, Norris keeps it 'playful'. You might find octopus and merguez sausage skewers or coral trout with apricot beurre blanc. Cordelia's 'Happy Meal' is either an oyster, scallop or frites with a mini cocktail for $20; another Wednesday and Thursday special, it's on from 3pm to 5pm.

Hectic fish burgers and ‘Happy Meals': Don's team opens seafood diner on the north side
'The initial idea was a really good fish'n'chip shop, but we've come so far from that,' says Gavioli, who connected with Good Fish, a sustainability initiative by the Australian Marine Conservation Society, helping its community understand seafood more deeply. 'I couldn't believe some of the stats: how many different species of prawns we're not eating, all these fish that are [trendy] that we shouldn't be eating as much of,' he says. Seafood comes via Sydney-based supplier Andrew Joseph, also known as The Afishonado. 'He has a little black book of fishers that he knows do it right,' says Cordelia chef Josh Norris, also of Don's. 'There's a list of 10 to 15 [fish on offer] he sends out each week.' Driven by what's available, the menu shapeshifts day to day – and isn't posted online. There are some constants, though.
