A focus on local produce, including Petuna salmon, Spring Bay scallops and Sassafras steak, is the defining feature of the menu at Strahan's best restaurant. Lunch is a laid-back affair featuring salads, pasta dishes and burgers. Dinner is a wider-ranging proposition, with dishes such as rib eye, braised duck leg and a variety of vegetarian options. Book ahead for dinner.
