TARRA Queenscliff’s signature dinner series is back — and this year, it’s got a bold new edge.

Our theme this year is Style & Substance — a monthly dining experience where each event explores a different culinary style. From wild game to prime steak, creative vegan dishes, preserved and pickled produce, and locally sourced seafood, every night is a unique expression of flavour and craft.

Held in our stunning waterfront restaurant inside the Queenscliff ferry terminal, each dinner is a relaxed four-course affair with wine pairings — designed to showcase the best seasonal produce from the Bellarine, Mornington, and beyond.

Led by Executive Chef Mike Jaques, who brings a fresh energy and passion for local ingredients, the menus are curated with intent. This isn’t fine dining with white tablecloths — it’s thoughtful cooking served with warmth, substance, and a spectacular view.

If you're looking for the best dinner in Queenscliff, or planning a memorable night out near Geelong, this is your ticket. Come for the food, stay for the story behind each menu, and enjoy a night of shared conversation, flavour and discovery.
