The Grand Pacific Hotel
The Grand Pacific Hotel was built in the 1870s as one of the first hotels along the Great Ocean Road. Originally accessed only by sea with superb views in one of the most unique settings on the coast, opposite the Lorne pier.
Our café/restaurant is relaxing and friendly, with large ceiling to floor windows taking in the stunning views. The menu is stylish and ever changing offering meals at very affordable prices. Enjoy live jazz in the restaurant every Saturday night with dinner.
Each with its own unique character and all with beautiful ocean views. Visit the funky F2 bar or the lounge (both with log fires in the winter), and there are plenty of outdoor tables with views of the ocean, pier and township.

Marks
Marks Restaurant offers simple modern Australian favourites at reasonable prices. Combine this with the sharp, beach-chic decor and a surprisingly extensive wine list, and Marks is an obvious favourite among Lorne locals and hungry travellers alike. As if this wasn't enough, Marks also enjoys the most gorgeous, sparkling sea view for rapt holidaymakers to enjoy.

Pizza Pizza
Overlooking Lorne's Erskine River, this restaurant holds no secrets behind its name; Pizza Pizza is the place to go for, you guessed it, pizza. After working in various restaurants and pizzerias around Melbourne, Brett Grahame set up shop in this old colonial gem. With several venues around closing their doors, there was plenty of material to salvage for Pizza Pizza. The result is a charming mish-mash of recycled furniture and materials. With the river on one side and an antique shop on the other, this eclectic eatery fits right into its surrounds. From the long list of pizzas on offer, Grahame heartily recommends the prosciutto pizza with fresh rocket; and the 'Napoli spinner' - a real winner with roast pumpkin, pine nuts, goat's cheese and mozzarella. The restaurant serves great coffee too - but Coffee Coffee doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
