Geelong, Bellarine & Surf Coast

CollectionYou don’t have to clock up hundreds of kilometres to sample the best of the food scene in Geelong and its surrounding coastal regions, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. Bakeries are dotted across the region stocked with French-style pastries and loaves straight out of the oven, while a bustling farmers’ market in Torquay takes you on a tour of a diverse range of cuisines and local produce. These are our favourite spots for drinking and dining just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne.Continue this seriesRegional VictoriaUp nextCollectionGippslandEvery restaurant featured in The Age Good Food Guide in Gippsland.CollectionMornington PeninsulaEvery cafe, bakery, bar, pub and restaurant featured in The Age Good Food Guide in the Mornington Peninsula.PreviouslyCollectionCentral VictoriaEvery cafe, bakery, bar, pub and restaurant featured in The Age Good Food Guide in Central Victoria.See all stories
