Probably the best and freshest seafoods and fish you'll get on the Island. Highly recommended, come in and take a seat among an amazingly decorated dining experience, relics and rustic Island memoirs adorn the dinning room area and throughout. Fully Licenced, Tides is a must experience eatery.

M & O Cafe and Tapas Cowes
Hit this bustling spot, directly opposite the main beach, for all-day breakfasts that go the extra mile, whether it’s the Scoville-scale hit of chilli scrambled eggs with dukkah or the sticky salted-caramel sauce that anoints banana bread French toast. Weekend evenings see the switch flicked to a punchy tapas menu.

The Cape Kitchen Woolamai
Arresting clifftop views over wild Bass Strait almost distract from the smart modern menu built around regional produce at this sleek dining room. Beef carpaccio with celeriac remoulade and caper speckled cured salmon bring Mediterranean flair to a leisurely lunch.

Isola Di Capri Cowes
Phillip Island’s oldest Italian restaurant remains its finest, with a timeless whitewashed dining room and focus on the classics, from calamari fritti and spaghetti carbonara to a best-in-show margherita pizza. Après-meal, pop next door to its gelateria for a double scoop.

The Store Ventnor
This rustic one-stop gourmet shop will get your pulse racing with beans from local roaster Folks Coffee before nudging you towards food bliss with brunch fare such as a spicy tuna melt oozing cheddar and jazzed up with jalapeños.

Wild Food Farm Ryhll
Walk the bush food trail at this lush property near Rhyll before furthering your exploration of Indigenous ingredients with the wattleseed scones, native-berry beef pies and barramundi with finger lime aïoli served at the farmhouse café.

Inside the vibe is "bovine fun fair" with cow mascots, a rainbow paint job and holes that run the gamut from loop-the-loop putts to golf pinball machines. Get the final hole in one for a free game next time, or try to knock the leader off the top score chalkboard

After last year's terrible bushfires, Phillip Island's Koala Conservation Reserve had to make room for a few singed and sore marsupials, who have since been returned to the wild.
