There are some that say Phillip Island is a bare landscape when it comes to food but I would have to disagree.

The Island is changing- perhaps highlighted by the recent entry into the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival arena. Local forward thinking business owners combined resources to create one of the best reginal experiences of this year.

Our focus at Spice Island is on providing visitors the best in local ingredients, selected seasonally and managed with respect. Our Cafe, Spice Island Pantry offers simple food in a bright and dynamic environment,  Our Cooking Schools offer guests the chance to work with great cultural dishes in a relaxed, fun environment. Our catering is high end, with a focus on unpretencious food and our accommodation offers the best in boutique, traditional Bed & Breakfast style accommodation.

We've recently begun to push the 'green' barrow and are now striving to improve efficiencies in our business and to work with guests to empower them to do the same with all of their food choices.

This time fo year the focus is on fabulous figs, fantastic eafy vegetables and rich curries. With Easter coming, we're also playing with goat this weekend as well as some slow cooked dishes to warm the cockles of everyone's hearts.
