When visiting the picturesque esplanade of Paynesville in Victoria, be sure to call on Pier 70 restaurant and bar. A modern, coastal chick interior awaits, where high ceilings with exposed banisters, white washed walls and timber furnishings make for an airy space set upon an absolute waterfront location, where a sprawling deck greets moored boats bopping in the marina. Pier 70 offers a Mod Oz menu with flavour influences from around the world as seen in tasty lunch options like slow cooked Moroccan spiced lamb pita with a fresh herb salad drizzled with smoky yoghurt dressing, or the Thai chicken salad with crushed peanuts. Those after an intimate dinner for two may enjoy the porterhouse steak, served with seared prawns, scallops and baby octopus, finishing with a rich sticky date pudding.
