If you venture a little further from the Milton Township there is an excellent new restaurant called Ceto in Ulladulla overlooking the harbour. The food, service and views are superb! Another restaurant well worth a visit is Tallwood in Tallwood ave at Mollymook.

Rick Stein's restaurant at Bannisters and the award winning Cupitt's Winery and Vineyard Kitchen is also well worth a visit. Bannisters Pool Bar is open 7 days from 6.00pm. This is a great place to enjoy a gourmet pizza, fresh salad, burger or seafood from you poolside sun lounge at the pizza and cocktail bar. They have live music on the first, third and fifth Fridays of the month and alternate Sundays.

What's to Eat gourmet deli is full of delights, from local and imported cheeses to cold meats, antipasto and Jasper Peel rustic breads. Why not order a special picnic lunch from them?
