Great food, great location, average service. Had a chicken pizza and corn ribs, both very good. Some areas for improvement however. On arrival we were asked in or outside, and selected inside and was pointed to a table near the window. A guy brought over some water and said nothing. Not, "hello how are you, have you been here before, you can order using the app or with the waiter". So after 10 mins waiting for a paper menu I got up and grabbed one from the counter. Then navigated the app which would not allow placing an order without first giving my phone number, and then would not display a receipt without an email address. This is just a con to grab your data. You do not need to give a phone number or email when using a waiter. Then of course comes the stupid weekend surcharge. Completely unnecessary. But very good food and setting.

The spicy capsicum dip has a really smooth taste and is just super yummy. I really liked the hot honey pizza as well. The cheese on top was weirdly bitter but it paired really well with the honey taste. We also got the brisket tacos which might have been my favourite even though they definitely could have been spicier.

Bistro strategically located within Docklands with unrivalled view of the skyscrapers landscape and ideal to enjoy the breeze by the bay. On top of this, there’s aplenty of seats available and I was not worry at all when I reached there around evenings, can feel the crowd and the vibes surrounding the bistro yet able to get a seat near the window, enabling me to savour my pizza while enjoying the night view. Simply a memorable evening at Cargo!

The chicken parma was juicy, flavorful, and served in a generous portion, making it a great choice. However, I wouldn’t recommend the souvlaki plate as it lacked the authentic flavor and was a bit underwhelming. On the bright side, the Spanish paella was a pleasant surprise—refreshingly bold with a nice spicy kick that paired well with the meal. Overall, a mixed experience with some standout elements.

Dined here twice on recent trip to Melbourne whilst staying closeby. The food was great and generous servings. paella was best I’ve had. service very good (better mid week vs sat night though as less crowded/quieter) . We ended up going back again on our last night for drinks and grabbed take away they were so accommodating! - the best mulled wine too
