Ranelagh General Store

Top choice in The Southeast


The tame old Ranelagh General Store has been reborn as an inventive burger bar. Furnished like your great-grandparents' farmhouse, its burgers rely on local produce – the buns are made on-site – with a menu of all-day snacks also available. The Stanley burger (wallaby with popcorn furikake slaw, pickled ginger and wasabi) is a real winner.
