Local Restaurants

Middleton and the Fleurieu Peninsula are so lucky to have an incredible range of eateries ranging from bakeries, cafes, pubs, surf lifesaving clubs and restaurants.

Many are open for breakfast and are 7 days a week. Please check their Facebook pages for more information:

Here are some we love:
