The Best Restaurants in Geelong (VIC)

Less than an hour's drive from Melbourne, Geelong is the perfect place to spend a long weekend. The Waterfront esplanade features a 19th-century carousel, a curved art deco boardwalk and a sea bath at Eastern Beach.

This area is home to some of Australia's best regional dining. Geelong's Little Malop Street is home to coffee spots, cellar doors and food joints. Visit the always-buzzing Pakington Street, featuring converted industrial spaces full of hip cafes, bars, restaurants, accommodation and galleries. Journey beyond Geelong and you’ll find a cluster of tantalising winery restaurants and a gastronomic journey throughout the Bellarine Peninsula.

With an interesting history, waterfront views and quality local produce, there are plenty of reasons to visit Victoria’s second-largest city.
