For a great way to start the day, join Newtown locals heading to refurbished Pakington Cottage in the heart of Geelong. Through an ornamental orange door, guests are led into a chic, coastal inspired space, with vivid blue walls, white trims and heavy set tables with delicate chairs, where French doors reveal a leafy courtyard, best enjoyed on a sunny Victorian day. Cosy up with family and friends over a Mod Oz menu inspired by local produce, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients in breakfast dishes like Pakington’s original corn jacks served with free range eggs, bacon, grilled asparagus, smoked salmon and creamy chevre, while large lunches like citrus calamari salad with radicchio, radish and roasted pistachios as well as slow braised Cuban spiced pork tacos are sure to satisfy.
