Find a little slice of Europe on Phillip Island at Anerie on Thompson Avenue in Cowes. This French-style bistro exudes stylish charm from the black and white striped chairs to an eclectic mix of art on the walls, including a sketch of ‘Anerie’ the donkey; or soak up the island sun alfresco as balmy sea breezes ruffle trees and peruse an authentic menu of classic dishes. Serving lunch and dinner, pair a wine with starters like beef carpaccio, white bean and roast garlic purée and truffled mushrooms, or escargot, garlic, parsley butter and baguette. Say bon appetit to memorable mains of braised lamb shoulder, preserved lemon, tomato and potato gnocchi, or John Dory fillet, parsley and leek velouté, local mussels, kipfler potatoes and miso glaze. Finish sweetly with dark chocolate pudding.
