In 2008, two Aussie gals took a ‘Thelma & Louise’ trip across the USA and were impressed with the concept of the “roadhouse” cafe where customers are greeted with a warm smile and atmosphere to relax the road weary traveller in recharging their batteries.

Terri Bitton and Julie Taylor decided then and there they would open their own cafe when they returned to Australia.

“The Elk Horn Roadhouse was born and we decided to make it a unique venue with linen napkins that has the charm and feel of a home with the food to match,” said Terri.

Situated on the Bellarine Peninsula along Wallington Road just outside of Ocean Grove, the Elk Horn Roadhouse has created quite a sensation since opening in 2009. It has a rustic, rural setting and offers an la carte breakfast and lunch menu.

The cafe offers house made, high quality food and chef Nathan Veach showcases local and regional produce. The Store also offers a small range of gourmet produce including natural honey with honeycomb, local handpicked saffron and unique giftware.

The surroundings create a relaxed country setting providing a unique meeting place for friends and families. Canine friends are also welcome.
