Koonwarra Store

Top choice in Victoria


This renowned cafe in a renovated timber building serves simple food with flair. It prides itself on using organic, low-impact suppliers and products – try the Koonie burger with all-Gippsland ingredients or the delicious lamb curry. Soak up the ambience in the wooded interior, or relax at a garden table with local ice cream, regional wines and a cheese paddle.

Themed dinners occur twice monthly on Saturdays. Local produce, beers and wines are all for sale.
