Best Restaurants in Williamstown: Where Locals Actually Eat

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The best restaurants in Williamstown sit on two strips: Nelson Place, the waterfront promenade where you eat with Hobsons Bay and the city skyline in front of you, and Ferguson Street, the quieter run a block back where the long-running neighbourhood places live. For a special-occasion dinner with a view, book The Strand. For the meal locals have been ordering for over four decades, it’s Lion Dance Chinese on Ferguson Street. This guide is for anyone deciding where to eat in Williamstown tonight — visitor or local — and which of the two strips actually suits the meal you’re planning.
