Mornington Peninsula hospitality

Sam GROTH (Nepean) (10:20): I want to celebrate the vibrant food and hospitality scene on the southern Mornington Peninsula, a region full of gems both locals and visitors love visiting. My community offers a unique blend of world-class dining experiences and unforgettable venues, many of which have been celebrated with recent accolades in the Good Food Guide.

If you are visiting, consider the two-hatted Laura or the one-hatted Pt Leo Estate restaurant at Pt Leo Estate, boasting a wonderful array of local produce and ingredients. Not far down the road, Ten Minutes by Tractor and Tedesca Osteria are other two-hatted local institutions receiving national accolades for their outstanding dining, service and venue. Audrey’s at the Continental, Doot Doot Doot and Rare Hare also made the chef’s hat list this year, continuing their reputation as being among Victoria’s finest eateries. In fact Audrey’s at the Continental was also this week awarded 2024’s best restaurant, metropolitan, at the recent Australian Hotels Association National Awards for Excellence. More great venues, like Port Phillip Estate, Cape at RACV Cape Schanck, Many Little, Moke and Polperro, were also recognised for their sensational hospitality offerings with hats on this year’s list. These are just a few examples of the culinary and cultural experiences that make the Mornington Peninsula a must-visit destination.

Let us continue to support and promote these local businesses that contribute to our stellar local reputation and showcase the very best of our region and state.
