An absolute best find of the day!…read more Fishos is definitely Torquay's little gem. We stopped by for lunch yesterday and I was instantly in love with this place. Charming atmosphere, panoramic views from the comfort of your table and the food... oh the food, was one of the best fish and chips I have the pleasure of devouring. Simple one page dead-on menu and they did advertise on using local and fresh ingredients, so yay for that. We got one of the family boxes (serves 4) for $65 with the options of grilled or fried as well as sides of salad or chips. Opted for the deep fried tempura style, and boy I did not regret this at all! All hail to the platting, it arrives in a huge basket and beautifully presented! The calamari was definitely the highlight of the dish, uber tender and flavorful! The fish and potato hotcakes were delicious as well. Humble and friendly service, price point might be a little steep, but for a memorable dining experience in a gorgeous setting, I would be back in a heart beat!

The elotes (grilled corn with manchego and spices) and the chicken wings are both addicting. The margaritas are also great- particularly the jalapeño and the café flavors. The trio of salsas could use some work- the salsa verde lacked salt and crema, though delicious with mains, is not a salsa on its own to me. Still, easy fixes & thoroughly enjoyed the meal!

This place is really unique and they have a menu that changes.

The only thing holding this place back is their absence of table service and the long queue you have to wait in to place an order. It makes your visit very anti social as you need to leave people to mind the table but others need to queue. It means second rounds of drinks/desert etc are usually abandoned! Moby- You've been a leader in Torquay with your menu options, buck the trend and offer table service! We usually visit in a fairly sizable group and we can usually get a table without a wait even in the mist of summer (Torquay's peak time) due to the large amount of tables inside and out.

( well maybe in between i will grab coffee from Moby or ice cream from Nordenfine) But point is, Front beach has a great view, fresh food and amazing menu. We came here for lunch however breakfast is served till about 12 and all around me was amazing smell and sights of bacon, eggs, muesli etc Off the regular menu we tried the seafood asiette, with fresh oysters ( including one in a vodka pomegranate shot), and half a bug succulent in corriander dressing. Light and fresh, and my fave dish on the day. We also had the avocado stuffed with grilled chicken, crumbed and deep fried. Slightly burnt on the bottom, and i would've liked it more if it wasn't deep fried. But creative on their part. Kids were happy with their generous and tasty kids menu, and off the special we tried Barramundi in ratatouille. we will be back for sure, there were so many things on the menu we wanted to try Book early as this place gets booked out despite being one of the bigger cafe around.

The sauce on my lamb shank was OK, but faintly reminiscent of hospital cafeteria food. Veggies were overcooked, and the sweet potato mash reminded me of baby food. Still giving them some stars because the food was decent. I'm not sure if they need to work on execution, or source better ingredients, or both. Nice atmosphere and good service.

A lot of Mexican restaurants haven't really cut it for me especially the tortillas. This place brought so many food memories to me. It just off the main drag.

Excellent dinner to start our Great Ocean Road journey!…read more Recommend a res, we didn't have one but they were nice enough to seat us right away. Started off w the salt and pepper squid and a dozen oysters. Perfect. Squid was just the right amount of light, crispy breading. Oysters were creamy and delicious. They don't come w fixings, make sure to ask for your hot sauce ahead of time. While the dinner selection was tough, we opted for the lamb pita for two reasons. 1. The entire table of 6 next to us got it. 2. When we asked the waitress for a rec, guess what she said.... Being a bit of a gyro nut and growing up on Lebanese food back home, this dish hit the mark. Nice crust on the well seasoned and moist lamb, plenty of veggies but more importantly plenty of tzatziki sauce!!! (So many places short the best part). A couple of nice glasses of wine and our meal was complete. Highly recommend. Cheers!

Our food was hit or miss (Hit = pumpkin, pine nuts and orange salad. Miss = open chicken stack) and I loved that they served Emma & Toms alongside other fresh juices, smoothies, milkshakes and spiders; but the staff actually seemed annoyed to see us. I personally found it hilarious as it was edging on offensive when we asked for things like tomato sauce and, God forbid, if they had anything gluten free. It got to the point where the salty service seemed to be part of the schtick in the "where are the hidden cameras" way, but by then I'd had enough beer that I considered it endearing. Come for the beautiful location and tasty booze and you'll be set. Watch out for hidden cameras, I'm still convinced they might be there...
