    Excellent quality chippy. Nice batter. Walk across the street and eat you fish and chips on the beach!

    If you're reading this review, chances are it's because your Phillip Island Tour bus has dropped…read moreyou off in this random area for dinner at a restaurant of your choosing. I would recommend The Fat Seagull because: 1. Food was not bad, expect to spend $25 AUD per person. I would have loved to try their signature Coat of Arms pizza (half emu, half kangaroo), but they were sold out early. Instead, we enjoyed the baramundi fish and shrimp entrees. 2. Nice, clean atmosphere. Table cloth & wine glasses kind-of place, but everyone was in casual attire. 3. You really don't have many options in the area. For some odd reason, every other restaurant on the main street was closed for business, and the ones that were opened mostly served fried food.

    For a small town this restaurant does not do badly - we were in search for dinner as one does and…read moreconsidering the options on the two main streets where restaurants were most apparent this seemed the best choice. The choices are pretty straight forward - pasta or pizza - I went for the seafood linguini - and it was pretty decent considering the neighbourhood. We got seating outside - even though there were five of us and it was peak time we were lucky to get that! And they also had a pretty economical deal going that evening - I think a Tuesday and for Australian standards that was the bargain. So why 3 stars? Well firstly the seagulls. At first it's pretty cool they come up close and you are feeling closer to nature - but then they get kinda aggressive ! Scarily so - they were attacking my friend - no joke and am pretty sure plucked a few prawns off his pasta bowl. So that was strange but memorable ;) And most people at this intersection of restaurants by the coast are to be fair tourists because they want to see the penguins - and we were guiltily the same. It's cool but it would be nice to hear your own thoughts whilst you eat sometimes.
