Your classic coastal beachside bistro, 12 Rocks is just about perfect for those who want a feed and a drink with waterfront views. Try an Otways beer with modern Australian pub fare such as beer-battered fish and chips, paprika-spiced calamari or their Rocks beef burger. They also serve up hearty breakfasts and decent coffee, along with ice cream from nearby Timboon.
