Berth is a big eating place by the water in Melbourne. It is next to boats and the wind and birds that make noise. You can sit there and look at water while you wait for food. Sometimes the water moves fast, and you can see your face in it if you look hard. The people who work there bring you food like meat, chicken, fish, and noodles. The food is hot sometimes, but sometimes not so hot.

It comes on big plates that make you feel fancy. You can also drink juice or fizzy stuff or the grown-up drinks that smell funny. They put ice and fruit in it to make it look cool.When you go there, you can sit up or down because the place has two floors like a big house. You can sit by the window and watch seagulls fight for food. It’s kind of fun. Sometimes people wear nice clothes and take pictures before they even eat.

If you go with your family or friends, you can talk a lot and laugh and maybe spill something. The people who work there clean it fast. They smile even if you drop your spoon. The light inside is yellow and makes everyone look kind of shiny.You can go here for birthdays or just because you’re hungry. The food is okay, and the view is the best part. It smells like the ocean and chips. You can sit outside if you don’t mind the wind blowing in your face and hair.When you’re done, you feel full and sleepy. Then you leave and maybe tell someone, “That place by the water was nice.” That’s Berth — a big water restaurant where you eat stuff and watch boats do nothing.
