Salopian Inn

Top choice in Fleurieu Peninsula


This old vine-covered inn has been here since 1851. Its latest incarnation features super Mod Oz offerings with an Asian twist: launch into the Berkshire pork buns or blue swimmer crab and prawn dumplings, with a bottle of something local that you can hand-select from the cellar. And there are 170 gins with which to construct your G&T! Outstanding.
