Modern Australian dining showcasing the best of the Great Ocean Road and Surf Coast
Located in Anglesea at Great Ocean Road Resort, The Coast Restaurant serves modern Australian dishes crafted from the region’s freshest produce. Ingredients like Zeally Bay sourdough, Bells Beach lamb, and seasonal seafood feature across a menu designed to highlight local flavours.
Starters include house marinated olives, truffled arancini balls with aioli, and confit pork belly croquettes served with apple purée. For mains, diners can enjoy dishes such as barramundi with pumpkin purée and broccolini, braised beef shin with buttered potatoes and orange & olive gremolata, or a white bean cassoulet with pangrattato for a vegan option. Gnocchi with basil pesto, broccolini, asparagus, peas, and prosciutto is also a popular choice.
Desserts include a vegan chocolate cake with chocolate & Grand Marnier sauce, blueberry Eton mess, and lemon curd tartlet with raspberry. A selection of local ice creams and sorbets is also available.
The bar menu features locally sourced wines and craft beers, with standout selections like Brown Magpie Pinot Noir and Pondalowie Chardonnay. Cocktails crafted with spirits from Great Ocean Road Gin and Timboon Distillery add a unique local touch to the drink offerings.
The dining experience is enhanced by hand-made dinnerware by Surf Coast artist Angela Nicholson and water jugs by Anglesea ceramicist Melinda Solly, adding a distinctive local touch to each meal.
For more intimate occasions, The Coast offers a private dining room for up to 22 guests, ideal for birthdays, small corporate dinners, or micro-weddings. Guests can also stay at the on-site boutique accommodation at Great Ocean Road Resort for a complete getaway.
Open seven nights a week from 5:30 pm, The Coast Restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy modern Australian dining, local produce, and a few well-crafted drinks in a relaxed coastal setting.
