Providing locals and tourists alike with a culinary mecca worthy of a family night out or your next date night, the Portarlington Food Park is a new outdoor event space located just a block in from the town’s main street.
Opening in early January, courtesy of owners Adrian Bonadio and Tony Lofaro, the Portarlington Food Park offers the region a unique space to explore all the things we love. With a permanent bar and ice cream, the Portarlington Food Park is all about showcasing delicious local eats, featuring a rotating roster of food trucks, local eateries and a coffee van. So far we’ve seen the likes of hot churros from Churrific, delicious warming coffee from Miss Buzz, smash burgers from Smashville, treats from Wrap On Wheels, tacos from A Taste of Tolga and pizza from Miss Dough, among others.
While the food is a hit, the bustling foodie precinct is bringing serious ambience and street cred to the seaside town. Head on down and you’ll find a Bali-inspired outdoor oasis. The beach-themed park features both indoor and outdoor seatings with large grassy areas alongside a beautiful converted industrial shed buzzing with live music, lawn games, pool and hungry thirsty guests keen to get their fill of the Bellarine’s best food truck options.
