Waves Cafe, Bar, Restaurant Port Campbell

Port Campbell's all-day coastal stop for crispy fish and chips, oysters and warm scones.

Relaxed coastal country pub-cafe feel with outdoor seating; most reviewers call it cosy and welcoming, though a handful describe peak dinner service as noisy and rushed.

Complimentary treat for dogs at outdoor tables, dedicated gluten-free fryer for all fried items, and visible efforts to cut plastic/paper waste (real hand towels in the bathrooms).

No single culinary heritage; reviewers describe the cooking as genuinely home-style and fresh rather than mass-produced, spanning breakfast classics, seafood and the odd curry of the day.

Mixed: many call it fair for a fresh, made-to-order coastal menu, but recurring complaints about a $17 tart slice, $60 house wine and a $42 pasta suggest tourist-stop pricing on some items.
