Local Eats
Imagine global flavours with a view
Frankston City is a foodie destination in its own right. Our buzzing hospitality scene has been fuelled by a wave of new venues, revitalised precincts and a growing local appetite for high-quality food, drink and social experiences. The hospitality sector has sat up and taken note, as big brands and small movers and shakers move in to feed the fire in our bellies.
Like Melbourne, it wears its multicultural roots through food. European, Asian, Middle Eastern and modern Australian all have a place at the table here, spread across the city centre, foreshore and neighbourhood suburbs.
Whether you're craving a specific cuisine or happy to wander and discover, the depth of what's on offer will pleasantly surprise you.
A world of flavours
From modern Australian to Italian, Spanish, Asian and Middle Eastern - the range of cuisines on offer reflects a city that takes its food seriously.
And if you’re looking for something a little sweeter, Frankston City has that covered too. Artisanal gelato, handmade chocolates, fresh pastries and decadent cakes can easily be found in the city centre and neighbourhood suburbs.
Waterfront dining
Down by the foreshore, dining comes with a sea breeze and a view. Seafood is the natural headline, fresh, local and best enjoyed slowly. The revitalised waterfront precinct has seen significant investment and grown into a genuine dining destination, perfect for long brunches, sunset cocktails and everything in between.
Local brews
As the sun sets, Frankston City shifts gear. Craft breweries, distilleries, rooftop bars and live music venues come alive across the city, bringing people together over a locally brewed pale ale, a Peninsula wine or a classic cocktail. The evening scene here truly is one of the best on Melbourne's South Eastern fringe.
