Since their November 2025 refresh, the iconic hospitality spot has completely transformed their menu and vibe, leaning into the cool yet elevated nature of the landscape.
The menu reflects the region’s bounty with a mix of feel-good classics and refined twists. Breakfast starts with a healthy bircher and acai, or indulge with the big breakfast or some waffles. For the kids there’s crepes and an Aussie kid favourite – coco pops with milk! Lunch and share plates hit with the crispy salt-and-pepper squid, the crunchy Bang Bang cauliflower, or grab a special summer bowl packed with fresh seasonal produce from local suppliers. The Teriyaki Salmon bowl is a tantalising must-have on the menu! Then move to mains such as the standout prawn and chorizo pasta, wagyu beef burger, or the confit duck leg. Paired with wines from the Bellarine, cool-climate varietals, and curated Australian craft beers and ciders including the Barwon Heads Brewing Co. range—every meal is elevated by local flavour and effortless service.
The drinks extend beyond the bay as well – There’s a 2023 Chateau de L’Escarelle Palm Rose from France, NV Rockford Black Shiraz from Barossa SA, 2016 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc from across the Tasman in Marlborough NZ, and the Lark Hill Regional Pinot Noir Canberra District in NSW. For those seeking something lighter, the list features refreshing cider options, low-alcohol beers, and non-alcoholic alternatives, making it easy to toast any occasion without compromise.
Open seven days a week, Beach House Barwon Heads is the kind of place where great produce meets good company, where every meal feels thoughtfully prepared, and where the coast’s casual elegance is served with a side of joy.
