Elk Horn Road House

Modern Australian

On the open road between Geelong and the Bellarine is this country-kitchen belle, welcoming passers-by with a big patio, a white-pebble 'lawn' and potted lemon trees. Elk Horn's smart, rustic menu highlights local produce. Portarlington mussels grace a one-person-pan 'paella' at lunch- served with a piece of roast-garlic smeared toast. Zeally Bay toast is partnered with crisp Istra bacon and a local free-range poached egg at brekkie. Sweets are cake-stall covetable- rumballs, lamingtons or a slice of lemon tart. Beers and wines are local, too, and a fair whack of ingredients are available to buy for your own pantry or fridge. Honk if you're hungry.
