If you like to be by the sea, join Torquay locals and visitors alike at Growlers on The Esplanade. With views money can’t buy, Growlers has been one of the Surf Coast’s iconic beachfront bungalow restaurants for many years. From the surfing photos on the walls to the courtyard overlooking Torquay Beach, this restaurant is all about sea, sand and good food. Start your morning with smoked salmon, poached eggs, sautéed spinach and housemade dukkah; while the lunch crowd enjoys a Tuscan chicken panini, crispy prosciutto, goats’ cheese, tomato relish, rocket, aioli and fries. Those after an intimate evening meal can start with prawn gyoza and ginger ponzu sauce, before glazed beef ribs, seasoned wedges, salad and spicy aioli; or smoked chicken and leek risotto, semi-dried tomatoes and Parmesan.
