2 Best Restaurants in Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island

At this tiny shop renowned for its fish-and-chips and other affordable local seafood dishes, you can get your food to go, eat it at the counter, or enjoy it with a glass of wine in the seating area next door. Choose your fish—whiting, John Dory, garfish—from the blackboard menu and have it beer-battered, crumbed, or grilled, or get a paper-wrapped parcel of scallops, prawns, lobster, and oysters (in season) shucked to order.

Shaded by a large mulberry tree, this cute café has a short blackboard menu that changes daily to incorporate fresh produce from the colorful on-site garden and beyond. Salvaged materials give the large deck a rustic feel and the eponymous pantry is filled with a huge variety of goods from local producers. Coupled with the proximity to the ferry terminal, this makes it a great first or last stop on the island.
