Local culinary gems

The Local is a humming hole-in-the wall coffee shop, playing a strong coffee hand, while The Bayside Lady serves up gourmet pizzas in a retro-fab courtyard, complete with 70s wall mural and vintage caravan where drinks are served on summer evenings. Meanwhile, Vaughans Cafe Deli is pitching fantastic coffee and all your brunch favourites.

The perfect way to end a lazy beach day is with gelati or pastries from Gelato Al Mare. This authentic gelateria dishes up a huge range of flavours, plus Italian classics such as tiramisu and cannoli, alongside an expanding menu of cafe-style fare.

For international flavours, head to Tomo for an extensive modern Japanese menu of gyoza, sashimi, soft shell crab and tofu dishes, or enjoy a wide array of authentic Mexican flavour bombs at Lime & Co. Pearl has been making waves with their flavoursome, home-style Malaysian spread.

Coastal elegance dining

Long standing favourite, The Invy Espy Hotel serves up a mix of pub classics, share plates and tasty mains. Venture upstairs to The Captains Lounge for a cheeky cocktail with a view.

Dine with a view at RACV Inverloch Resort's Radius Restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling windows boast unrivalled coastal views while you enjoy an a la carte dinner that is abundant in local cheese, bread and meats.

Wineries and breweries

Some parts of the world are just meant for growing grapes, distilling spirits and brewing beer and cider. The South Gippsland Drink Trail is one of them.

Inverloch's Dirty Three Wines make riesling, chardonnay, shiraz, but really, it's all about the pinot noir. Downright dirty and delicious pinot noir. The cellar door is a contemporary space, just perfect for enjoying a gourmet local grazing platter, a tipple of wine, local beers, gin and coffee.

Craft beer and cozy wineries

Just out of Inverloch, Harman Wines cellar door and restaurant offers a place to meet, eat and drink in the tranquil surroundings. Share tapas and wood fired pizzas featuring home grown and local produce, along with delicious homegrown wines, local beers and ciders, to the backing track of local musicians.

When wine won't do, whet your whistle at Loch Brewery & Distillery (Loch). Traditional craft ales are served by hand pumps, and you can try gin, vodka and single malt whisky.

Drummonds Corrina Vineyard (Leongatha) wins points for being the absolute cutest cellar door. The quaint shoe-box sized cottage is full of bric-a-brac, complete with a pot bellied stove. There is minimal intervention in the wines to let the flavour of the terroir speak for itself.

Inverloch offers diverse dining, from cafes to wineries. Discover local eateries here or ask our staff for town-hopping food suggestions!
