A favourite in Port Campbell for its relaxed, coastal vibe and cracking beachfront views, 12 Rocks Beach Bar Cafe wins praise for friendly service, cosy interiors with heating and a fireplace, and plenty of seating indoors and out. Reviewers love it as a perfect stop along the Great Ocean Road or after visiting the Twelve Apostles, with many noting the dog friendly setup, good coffee, and a solid selection of Australian wines, local beers and even a great chocolate milkshake.
On the plate, standouts include fish and chips, calamari, crispy pork belly with rice, lamb spaghetti, vegetable lasagna, laksa, garlic cheese bread, arancini, pizza, southern fried chicken burger, chicken parmie, salmon, schnitzel and fresh salads. Portions are generous, pricing is fair, and there are vegetarian and gluten free options. Many guests highlight the sunset and ocean outlook as the cherry on top of an already tasty meal.
