Hearty, is the best word to describe Yaringa Marina Restaurant, perched in the marina on Lumeah Road overlooking swaying masts and the rippling Western Port Bay. Day trippers from Melbourne blend with Mornington Peninsula holidaymakers, beneath high wooden ceilings, draped fishnets and other salvaged wreckage. Fresh produce in elegant Modern Australian dishes, indulges participants both inside before the roaring fireplace, and out on the deck area where guests can enhance their spread with a local wine from a large selection, while gazing at the shores of Phillip Island. Fall for the grilled swordfish fillet, served with capsicum, onion, chickpea and spinach, finished with a balsamic glaze, or barbeque peppered Kangaroo with orange port sauce, accompanied by tantalising Tiger prawns.
