The local guide for dining on the Bellarine...
While away the winter chills
WINTER is here and Napona is the perfect place for a coffee and quick breakfast or snack after the school drop off to warm up. All the cakes, slices and muffins are made fresh and with Mahalia Coffee makes a perfect combination to bask in the natural-light-filled space away from the cold. If it is lunch or dinner you are after, a clean and modern menu makes it easy to see why The Age Good Food Guide recently scored Napona 14.5/20 in the 2015 edition. Overlooking the park at 24 Hodgson St, Ocean Grove, the alfresco timber deck also provides a great setting to enjoy some of the Bellarine’s best food. Napona brings you a fresh and vibrant menu sourcing local ingredients where possible,
relying on the quality that this region exhibits. Seafood is always a feature, and some of the area’s best wines make Napona the obvious choice for your next occasion. Napona is currently offering a midweek special of 25% off your total bill up to $40, giving you more than enough reason to visit. See the coupon featured in the advertisement on this page. Napona is open from 8am, seven days a week for breakfast and lunch, with dinner Tuesday to Saturday. Food is available all day. Bookings are recommended. Phone 5256 3153 and find Napona's menus online at www.napona.com.au or follow them on Twitter or Facebook – @eatatnapona.
