MILDURA / SUNRAYSIA RESTAURANT GUIDE

If you’re visiting Mildura and the wider Sunraysia region, do yourself a favour and arrive hungry. We’ve got that classic river-town holiday feel, loads of local produce, and a food scene that’s way bigger than people expect — from proper “date night” restaurants to pub feeds, winery lunches and top-notch coffee. This guide is a starting point (not the whole story): there are heaps more great options, and most venues are clearly listed on Google Maps with menus, reviews and current trading hours.

And if you’re a local café/restaurant and want to be included in this Out and About Sunraysia guide, send me your details (hours, phone, link, a short “what you’re known for”). I’m always keen to help visitors find the good stuff.

(And yep… there are heaps more great options around town — honestly, Mildura punches above its weight. If it’s not listed here, it’ll be easy to find.)

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE (SO YOU DON’T GET CAUGHT OUT)

(And yep, there are tons more places than this list — Mildura is stacked with options, and Google Maps is your best mate for what’s closest.)
