Blakes Restaurant

There’s something fishy going on at Blakes Restaurant on Bank Street in Port Fairy. Cosily nestled in the historic Dublin House, Blakes is the local go to spot for sparkling fresh seafood and a relaxed vibe, where guests can mingle over a glass of port in front of the fire or in warmer weather, share a drop out in the courtyard, where a market garden provides fresh produce for the kitchen. Salivate over Hervey Bay prawns with chilli and ginger, served with pineapple and cucumber salsa, or share an antipasto plate with dips, marinated vegetables and fresh bread. Then move onto seared Tasmanian salmon with fennel and pea risotto, while those with a taste for meat will be tempted by Merri Valley lamb rack, buttered spinach and a red wine jus. For a sweet finish, delve into the date pudding.
