Went here for breakfast on our epic tour of the Great Ocean Road, the weather was freezing and we ended up stopping in Apollo Bay just by chance.

In La bimba, Tripadvisor chose local dishes that were rated nearby. The marshmallow hot cocoa was delicious. Finally, I found kangaroo meat on the menu, but it was sold out. Farm sink? Can't remember the name of the dish, cheese, meat slices, olives, sauces, it tastes good. The peculiar oyster recipe, the taste is surprisingly good, tomato, coriander, etc., steamed soup, peculiar combination of ingredients. A peculiar big fish with clear teeth. It is said to be a local marine fish. I don't know what its scientific name is. It tastes good after being fried. Toasted pumpkin salad, topped with large almond diced, topped with salad dressing, taste just right. Australian seafood risotto, large oysters, fresh shrimps, full of pots, bright color and appetite. The overall evaluation is five stars. The only thing to note is that there are few chefs at night, and the dishes are slow. Be patient when waiting for the dishes.

Unexpectedly great! Our friends and I are staying one night in Apollo Bay and looked for a place with simple, fresh and tasteful dishes. And we found our heaven at La Bimba! I only chose a side (their amazing Heirloom tomatos salad) but my friend ordered fresh vegetables, meat and fish. The fish to share was fantastic, the sides amazingly cooked sides. The meat were overcooked but we have been well advised on wines. Must try place down here!
