The long drive from Melbourne to Wilson's Promontory passes through a few small towns. Leongatha is about 45mins from Wilson's Prom and serves as a good town to stop for a cafe breakfast/brunch/lunch and also pick up supplies from Safeway (aka Woolworths), Baker's Delight and a local butcher all within the same plaza.
In looking for food, we found only one cafe that looked similar to the Melbourne cafes that sets our high standards.
This place is relatively expensive, perhaps transport costs of ingredients is higher in these areas. They also claim 98% of food ingredients are prepared on the premises. We had two mains, a side of fries, a smoothie, a juice and a coffee for $50. The lunch menu is basically divided into headings - salad, pasta, soup etc each of which seems to change daily.
- Yellow Curry of Chicken - curry was a touch dilute perhaps but still good;
- Fried Calamari - very tasty and well salted calamari. The outside was not particularly crispy, but the flavour made up for that;
- Fries - thick potatoes hand cut and fried with skin on. Relatively crisp outside, soft inside;
- Mixed Banana/Berry Smoothie - very very thick heavy smoothie with a hint of cinnamon and perhaps honey. Just the way I make them at home - like a meal on its own;
- Juice
Next time I would order the Fries and Mixed Smoothie again. Pick whatever you like from the lunch specials (breakfast menu is fixed).
