Inverloch restaurants

Inverloch's restaurant scene is sure to fill your belly.

In town, longstanding favourite The Invy Espy Hotel has had a glow-up – their beautiful new refined dining space serves up a mix of pub classics, share plates and tasty mains. If you time it right, you can follow up dinner with a sunset stroll along one of Inverloch's beaches.

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. Or, for an Inverloch restaurant with international flavour, head to Tomo for an extensive modern Japanese menu of gyoza, sashimi, soft shell crab and tofu dishes.

If winery restaurants are more your scene, just out of town you'll find Harman Wines, serving up tapas, antipasto and wood-fired pizzas, best enjoyed from their sun-dappled deck, surrounded by vines. Open for lunch via the cellar door, Dirty Three Wines offers a pared back menu that is wedded to their home-grown wine list.

Dine with a view at RACV Inverloch Resort’s Radius Restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling windows boast unrivalled coastal views while you enjoy an à la carte dinner, that is abundant in local cheese, bread and meats. This Inverloch hotel is the perfect place to stay after a day of sightseeing and good food.

Inverloch cafes

The café scene is strong in this popular seaside town. With its iconic wave mural, The Local is an institution when it comes to coastal coffee and hearty brunches, and one of the most popular Inverloch cafes.

The Larder serves quality coffee and promises an inviting brunch destination and deli tucked away from the main drag. Bluette on Bear is a stunning little Inverloch cafe where you can treat yourself with brunch in the sunny courtyard.

One of the best things to do to end a busy beach day is tuck into gelati from The Invy Cafe 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 café-style fare.
