Excellent dinner to start our Great Ocean Road journey!…read more Recommend a res, we didn't have one but they were nice enough to seat us right away. Started off w the salt and pepper squid and a dozen oysters. Perfect. Squid was just the right amount of light, crispy breading. Oysters were creamy and delicious. They don't come w fixings, make sure to ask for your hot sauce ahead of time. While the dinner selection was tough, we opted for the lamb pita for two reasons. 1. The entire table of 6 next to us got it. 2. When we asked the waitress for a rec, guess what she said.... Being a bit of a gyro nut and growing up on Lebanese food back home, this dish hit the mark. Nice crust on the well seasoned and moist lamb, plenty of veggies but more importantly plenty of tzatziki sauce!!! (So many places short the best part). A couple of nice glasses of wine and our meal was complete. Highly recommend. Cheers!

Massive front garden across from the beach that serves delicious, local beer? I'd definitely say…read morethe good outweighed the bad at this establishment. Our food was hit or miss (Hit = pumpkin, pine nuts and orange salad. Miss = open chicken stack) and I loved that they served Emma & Toms alongside other fresh juices, smoothies, milkshakes and spiders; but the staff actually seemed annoyed to see us. I personally found it hilarious as it was edging on offensive when we asked for things like tomato sauce and, God forbid, if they had anything gluten free. It got to the point where the salty service seemed to be part of the schtick in the "where are the hidden cameras" way, but by then I'd had enough beer that I considered it endearing. Come for the beautiful location and tasty booze and you'll be set. Watch out for hidden cameras, I'm still convinced they might be there...

Wow! Called in here for a sustainable healthy smoothie to keep me going on our road trip to…read moreHamilton. I bought a Nut Smoothie. Had cashews and spices. This is a retrospective review so I can't remember all the deets. This place is fresh to death. Organic and Vegan.

This was a rather nice place. It looks like a cafe but I also get the impression that it is one of…read morethose whole food restaurants. Anyway, that wasn't too much of an issue because, well, they do sell coffee, and the coffee isn't too bad either. It is a rather small place, but it is close to the railway station, which sort of does make it handy, especially if you want to grab a coffee on the way to work, and a good one at that. Well, this place certainly hits the spot in that regards.

Stand aside Paleo Bowls...the Avo Smash with goats cheese has taken the lead. This little treasure…read morehas been a favourite of mine for quite some time. The staff are always smiling, friendly and helpful. There are peak periods and the ordering area sometimes stretches out the door. But I can't praise them enough. Whenever I'm passing I have typically ordered their bowls (particularly their Paleo Bowl), but today I thought I'd hang with the Milennial's and order the 'avo smash' - of my goodness. Being a breakfast babe I'm big on the avo, but this takes the cake. It has chai and linseed seeds, nuts a plenty and a large wedge of lemon sunk in chia seeds. And when you squeeze thiat baby it spurts out lemon and chai a plenty. Don't be put off by the clientele in the latest active wear, this is a magnificent place to stop and try something that is a little different from the norm. I've just been told that they have one in Brighton and Mornington too. So if you're passing pop in and give your taste buds a treat. Oh and the chai is the best around. Enjoy.

My friends have been harping on about Heal.thy Self Co. and checking in left, right and centre…read more Well, I'm not afraid to jump on a bandwagon and that I did... I thought I'd be trying one of those cafés that offer 'healthy' (note: healthy but not really) alternatives but I was shocked when I looked at the menu and was presented with *genuine* healthy options. I opted for the smashed avo with a Ruby Red juice (beetroot, carrot, cucumber, orange and ginger) and was so happy when I was presented with an appropriate pile of avocado on delicious bread (that I could actually cut) and a healthy size serving of freshly made juice. A plus! The only down fall is that the space is quite small! Get in early (after your gym session, of course) to avoid the crowds as it's a first come, first served kind of place and given the huge amount of tasty items on the menu, it's easy to lose track of time and stay there allllll day long.

3.3 Closest place to…read moreme today for a coffee. My impression is that this area is yet to embrace the full big city food, coffee and wine experience. Ones hopes it will come. Despite the suggestion that it's just a juice bar here, I spotted a pretty impressive coffee machine and though it was worth a shot. I was right. I got a respectable long black and for that I'm thankful. Nice little place. Nice coffee. Nice service. Good for them.

Not quite as sweet as soft serve ice cream but a bit more of a dessert style treat than regular yoghurt it is the perfect healthy way to treat yourself on a hot day.

There is seating outside Elle's so you can grab a smoothie and a cake and enjoy it in the sunshine, the bright green coloured kiosk draws lots of attention from hungry shoppers wandering by, and with such healthy and affordable treats, why wouldn't you stop for a midday pick me up?
