2 Best Restaurants in Phillip Island, Victoria

Taste Australia's unique ingredients at this exciting café---try wattleseed scones, a zingy finger lime aioli on the side of a lemon-myrtle tempura barramundi fish fillet, a sweet crumble with quandong and macadamia nuts. Classic breakfast and lunch dishes such as smashed avocado on toast or bacon and eggs are lifted with the addition of wild lime olive oil or mushrooms with native thyme. Local prawns and mussels are spiced with Kakadu plum or Murray River salt. Afterwards, shop the produce store for their sauces, teas, curries and muesli, blended with native Australian ingredients and finish with locally roasted coffee.

Serving regional and Victorian produce from breakfast to late lunch, Cape Kitchen is a wildly popular brunch spot. The exciting breakfast menu, served until 11:30 am, includes house-cured ocean trout, corn cakes with chili jam and eggs, and locally smoked salmon. After noon, sit down inside to a two- or three-course lunch featuring prawns from the uninhabited Skull Island or a carpaccio of Gippsland beef, with local cheeses and house-made sorbets to finish. The outside deck, with its fabulous views of the rough Southern Ocean, serves a casual light menu including a charcuterie plate, to pair with a local wine. The indoor two course lunch costs A$60, three courses costs A$70.
