Peninsula Drinking Holes
Here's all our favourite Locals.
The Little French Deli for a relaxed French experience. Local and French beers, wines and foods. One train stop away. Say Hello to Romain and Gaspard ("Gaspar").
Mr Curtis at Mount Martha is 40 mins south and has a great selection of wines, light foods and a view of the water.
The Counting House in Mornington is 25mins south and has a simple atmosphere and a view of the park and water when sitting outside.
The MaCrae Pavilion has a very Cap Cod feel about it with an excelent outside area and elegant dining room.
Something Casual?
Try Main Street Cafe in Mordiallic or Side St (next door to Main Street Cafe for Vodka and Pinchos) or Parkers Cafe in Parkdale just 10 mins North
Link to Main Street Cafe plus Side St and Link to Parkers Cafe.
All times are from Carrum.
What's on in Town
What's on in Melbourne is the easiest place to start.
Everything from the Arts, Shows, Shopping and Cafes, Melbourne's Laneways (Eg, Degraves Street [link]) for a great food and coffee atmosphere or opposite Federation Square at Flinders Street Train Station for "Graffitti Lane" or Movida Next Door [link] for fabulous tapas) and whatever else you feel like discovering.
