Sure, all the classics of pub dining are well-represented here. The obligatory steak comes as a 300g scotch fillet with your choice of sauce or a porterhouse on steamed vegies with a red wine jus. Being a seaside holiday destination, the seafood on offer is similarly varied.</p> <p>However, it's the other options that set this place apart. A section of the menu dedicated to wok meals, lamb souvlaki or Moroccan chicken dishes all help to bring this bistro out of the pub grub genre and place it firmly in the gastro-pub category, where it belongs.</p> <p>review in yourRestaurants by Nick Eggert</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-category2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/dining-out/pub-grub">Pub Grub</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-website field-type-link-field field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Website:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="http://www.apollobayhotel.com.au/bistro/" target="_top">http://www.apollobayhotel.com.au/bistro/</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pricing field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Pricing:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">$20-$35</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-getting-there field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Getting There:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">400m from Sandpiper in the main street</div></div></div> Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:49:45 +0000 admin 23 at https://www.sandpiper.net.au https://www.sandpiper.net.au/dining-out/great-ocean-road-brewhouse <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="https://www.sandpiper.net.au/sites/sndp/files/styles/680/public/craypot-bistro-apollo-bay.jpg?itok=u1bGc0Tp" width="680" height="385" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Everyone knows the Great Ocean Rd has some of Australia's best tourist destinations. What they don't know is it also boasts some of the great foodie destinations, like this gastro-pub.</p> <p>Friendly, laidback, relaxed and any other adjective you can think of to describe comfortable surrounds are all applicable here. Here you can enjoy a nice cold beer and modern dishes like the Barkers Creek pork cutlet with a green tomato and rosemary chutney on a bed of crushed potato and watch the sun set. They've even got a kids' menu so the little ones are kept happy and out of your hair.</p> <p>Reviewed in your Restaurants by Nick Eggert</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-category2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/dining-out/pub-grub">Pub Grub</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-website field-type-link-field field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Website:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="http://www.greatoceanroadbrewhouse.com.au/" target="_top">http://www.greatoceanroadbrewhouse.com.au/</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pricing field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Pricing:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">$15-$25</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-getting-there field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Getting There:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">600m from Sandpiper at the top end of town on the main street</div></div></div> Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:40:09 +0000 admin 20 at https://www.sandpiper.net.au
