Absolutely wonderful meal and service! We also stayed the night at the Merrijig Inn which was fantastic. Beautiful, generous, and full of warmth and character. I can’t wait to come back!!!
To breakfast here again would be reason enough for another visit, though the cosy room with comfy bed and dormer window was its own recommendation. The absence of a TV was welcome (we watched the football on the screen at The Stump).
We couldn’t have enjoyed our meal more at the Merrijig. The T- bone was seasoned and prepared perfectly and the duck fat potatoes were the perfect accompaniment. From amuse bouche to the focaccia and wine selection, our meal was outstanding.

Reviews

Merrijig Kitchen in Port Fairy is a charming and cozy place praised for its friendly staff, great food, comfortable accommodation, and refreshing atmosphere. Guests enjoyed perfectly seasoned dishes like the T-bone steak and duck fat potatoes, outstanding service, and the homely feel of the inn. While some noted high prices for portions served and minor issues with attentiveness from staff, overall experiences were described as fabulous with beautiful produce and a warm ambiance.

We could see the passion from the chef. The price was high for the amount of food we were served. The staff could have been more attentive, drinks were charged but not received. Water not topped up without asking. I also noticed that serving staff had an extremely soiled bandaid on her thumb that was in very close proximity to my food.
