Fleurieu Peninsula

Restaurants in Fleurieu Peninsula

  1. A

    Anchorage Café

    This salties' lair, with fishing nets trawling from the ceiling and a bar hewn from the hull of an old wooden whaling boat, has a great atmosphere and a Mediterranean-Greek meets Mod Oz menu. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Devonshire tea or coffee and cake ($6.50) in between. The beachside terrace benches are the perfect spot for sundowners year-round.

  2. Flying Fish Cafe

    Sit down for lunch and you'll be here all day − the views of Horseshoe Bay are sublime. Otherwise grab some quality takeaway of Coopers-battered flathead and chips and head back to the sand. At night things get a little classier, with à-la-carte mains focusing on independent SA producers.

  3. Victory

    On the highway near Sellicks Beach is the rowdy, 1858 pub the Victory. The pub has awesome views of the silvery gulf and a cheery, laid-back vibe. Factor in inspired meals, an impressive cellar and wines by the glass and you’re onto a winner. Renovations were afoot during research – expect even better views!

  4. Hector's

    Standing under the ugly (in more ways than one) span of the Hindmarsh Island Bridge, eating at Hector's (festooned with fishing rods) is like hanging out in your mate's boathouse. Seafood chowder and spinach-and-fetta pie are sweetly complemented by jazzy tunes and local wines. Good coffee, too.

  5. Café Lime

    Pick up heat-and-eat gourmet dinners or a takeaway cone of salt-and-pepper squid with lime-salted fries. If you feel like lingering, nab a table for beer-battered Coorong mullet (not a description of a haircut at the pub), baguettes, curries, soups and pasta. Espresso perfecto.

  6. Ocean Grill @ Anchorage

    This salty sea-cave, with fishing nets trawling from the ceiling and an old whaling boat for a bar, has a Med-meets–Mod Oz menu with plenty of seafood. There’s great coffee, tapas, cakes, Euro beers and a beachside terrace to drink them on.

  7. B

    Nino's

    Nino's cafe has been here since 1974, but it manages to put a contemporary sheen on downtown VH. Hip young staff and a mod interior set the scene for gourmet pizzas, pasta, salads, risottos and meaty Italian mains. Good coffee too.

  8. Star of Greece

    This eternally busy, cliff-top seafood shack has funky decor, a great staff and a sunny outdoor patio. If you ask the waiter where the whiting is caught: he may look out across the bay and say, ‘See that boat out there?’.

  9. Southy's Wood Fired Pizzas

    All the old faves, plus a few good 'with personality' selections: satay chicken, tandoori lamb and a yiros pizza (chicken, tomato, Spanish onion, hummus and tzatziki).

    Buckle up your lederhosen and lash down a onion-topped bratwurst roll before cruising the German tortes at this café overlooking the park.

    Original Victor Harbor Fish Shop

    Grab a steaming paper package from one of Victor Harbor's plethora of takeaway shops, just a stroll away from the beach, and calve out your patch under the large Norfolk Island pines on the grassy foreshore. The Original Victor Harbor Fish Shop was runner-up for the 2003 best fish and chips in South Australia award, but covers all bases with schnitzels, hamburgers, kebabs and roast chicken.
