If you like to be by the sea, join Torquay locals and visitors alike at Growlers on The Esplanade. With views money can’t buy, Growlers has been one of the Surf Coast’s iconic beachfront bungalow restaurants for many years. From the surfing photos on the walls to the front courtyard overlooking Torquay Beach, this restaurant is all about sea, sand and good food. Start your morning with smoked salmon, poached eggs, sautéed spinach and house dukkah or choose a healthy loaf of gluten free toast and condiments. Later guests with more ravenous appetites may dive into paella with chorizo, chicken, prawns, steamed mussels, capsicum and peas with saffron rice and beer battered flathead tails with garden salad, tartare sauce and chips. A citrus tart will cleanse the palate as a finishing touch.
