Lorne Central

Best Known For

Sumac and chilli calamari salad, julienne vegetables, coriander, salad greens and Vietnamese dressing.

Stunning views over the ocean from Lorne Central’s verandah on Mount Joy Parade along Great Ocean Road, captivate locals and visitors looking for a friendly café to indulge the senses. Just across from Lorne’s main surf beach, feel the salty breeze and take in the aroma of the ocean as you relax at outdoor tables, or indoors where tiled floors, bifold doors, recycled timber counters and wooden table settings beckon. Stroll up from the sand for a breaky of spinach and poached eggs on sourdough, lemon thyme feta, avocado and lemon dukkah; perhaps an Indonesian lunch of chicken nasi goreng appeals, with fried rice, bok choy, bacon, chicken, fried egg and coriander. Dinner guests can delve into options like smoked Tasmanian salmon spaghetti, capers, sun-dried tomato, mustard sauce and rocket.
