Great places to eat in Apollo Bay
Apollo Bay Bakery, home to the famous scallop pie
Sure, the scallop pie is a classic, but at this bakery you’ll find everything you need for a day of hiking (ham salad roll), brunch (almond croissant and coffee), post-beach lunch (freshly baked rolls & loaves), a mid-road-trip pick-me-up (jam doughnut), or even dinner (take-home family-sized pie)! Really, this place is an institution, and no visit to Apollo Bay is complete without at least one trip to the Apollo Bay Bakery.
Over 100 craft beers… need we say more? But we can. The Great Ocean Road Brewhouse offers indoor and outdoor dining, is dog friendly, has live music, and plenty of locally sourced food and drink options. Thirteen –local beers and two local ciders are available on tap, including the Prickly Moses “Spotted Ale”. Named after the elusive Tiger Quoll this beer has been developed in collaboration with the Conservation Ecology Centre to support environmental conservation and research across the Otways.
You can also do local beer, wine, and gin tastings, or tuck into a local cheese platter at their tasting room Tastes of the Region, located directly behind the Brewhouse.
