The Cornerstone

Best Known For

Slow-cooked beef stew with white wine, onions, celery, carrots and potatoes, served with garlic bread.

More than 150 years ago, an historic cornerstone was laid in Port Melbourne and from that day, locals have had a place to meet, catch up, celebrate and commemorate with a fine glass and good plate at The Cornerstone on Crockford Street. The 1860s’ charm and romance still greet you with original stonework and arched windows; step inside to find a comfy, modern space ideal for Sunday drinks with friends or your next big event. Join the lively crowd for starter plates such as mussels in chilli tomato sauce, followed by char-grilled lamb backstrap, mint pea purée, confit carrots, burnt cocktail onions and red wine jus. Perhaps pork and leek bangers and creamy mash hit the mark, served with peas and gravy, finishing with desserts such as warm chocolate brownie delight and vanilla ice cream.
