Elk Horn Road House

If every roadhouse was like Elk Horn, no one'd ever get to where they were going. It's the kind of fare that defies its location on an unremarkable country road between Ocean Grove and Queenscliff, the shed-like building transformed by verdant greenery and a warm country aesthetic. A rustic menu twangs with European and Middle Eastern accents. Istra bacon might add a smoky punch to house-made baked beans at breakfast, while lunch could be one-pan paella studded with Portarlington mussels, or lamb kofta with a side of tabbouleh. There are lamingtons and lemon tarts, and house-made honeys and chutneys. One for the road?
