Bellarine Peninsula
Little Mussel is no longer so little since upgrading in 2019 from its old tin-shed location into this shiny new waterfront address within a refurbed heritage building. The menu is still centred around its locally grown mussels and oysters, with the likes of mussel chowder, bowls of tomato and chilli, seafood pies and Bellarine Brewing Company's mussel stout.
There's also an attached seafood store if you're wanting to cook up something back home.
