Flavour and history mark Port Fairy dining options

Our little parcel of the world is fortunate to have an amazing array of dining options. We have The Age Good Food Guide chef's hat restaurants, delightful cafes, a la carte dining experiences and fantastic takeaway. From fish n' chips on the wharf to an intimate candelight dinner, there truly is a huge variety of dining opportunities offer.

Much of our produce is sourced from the rich landscape where we live, seafood from the ocean on our doorstep and fresh produce from the lush green pastures which underpin our thriving agricultural sector.
