Casual diners will love tasting a taco (or three!) at Loco Mexican or the iconic Nino’s of Victor Harbor, where you can sample their famous rib-eye fillet or one of their fresh pizzas or pastas, made on the premises.

Those seeking high-quality local produce can also try authentic Australian produce at The Swagman Chargrill or visit the iconic Anchorage for a classic pub meal in a waterfront location.

Of course, you can’t leave Victor Harbor without trying fish and chips from The Original Victor Harbor Fish Shop.
