Modern Australian
Would that every country cafe followed this mould. Who wouldn’t be tempted by a menu committed to shining local produce in all its rustic glory? Take a trip around the Bellarine with a tasting plate of local goat’s cheese, Wallington mixed greens, house-made dukkah and Zeally Bay sourdough – delicious dipped in grassy, regional olive oil. Portarlington mussels are a go-to, married as they are with chorizo and green olives. Brekkie is a free-for-all of farm-fresh Moriac eggs presented any which way, with Istra small goods. Something about the interior’s relaxed charm works up an appetite that only this kind of food can satiate.
