Attached to a neat motor inn at the top of the hill is the surprisingly chic Whale Restaurant. Local knowledge gained by years of exploring the waves and tracks of the region has been put to use by the chefs who showcase local oysters, homemade pasta, foraged herbs, Tilba cheeses, sustainable fish and aged beef. There's a pleasant lounge for a predinner drink.
