Dining Out: Great Ocean Road

Lorne Hotel
Location: 176 Mountjoy Parade, Lorne
Ordered: Greek salad (no onion) with chicken tenderloins
Other options: Eye fillet, Scotch fillet, Wagyu rump, Fish and chips

The Lorne Hotel were very accommodating of dietary requirements and very knowledgeable. They were happy to make an onion-free Greek salad, and used a homemade dressing of olive oil, salt and various fresh herbs. The dressing was fabulous, lots of fresh dill and parsley. The photo actually doesn't do it justice, there was more chicken than that, it was just mixed in underneath the salad.


Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery
Location: Corner of Great Ocean Road and Elkington Road, Bellbrae
Ordered/Purchased: Peppermint tea, Wild Lemon Myrtle Dark Bar, Great Balls of Australian Macadmia Nuts Dark.

Most of the dark chocolate products here are milk-free, just be careful of any other FODMAPs in filled products. The cafe has a wide range of teas, and also offers lactose free, rice and almond milks. I very strongly recommend the Wild Lemon Myrtle Dark Bar, that one is just fabulous.
