If I could give 6 stars I would. After 4 weeks in Australia, definitely the best meal we have had. I do not normally like fish, but the barramundi was done to perfection complimented by an avocado and mint salad.
Fancy little restaurant inside a wine store. Well presented and tables spaced well. Wine by the glass. You can by a bottle from the store but they will charge $25 corkage. Quite pricey. The meals were nice. This is the place to go for a nice quiet meal that’s a bit more up market. The desert menu needs some excitement.
Enjoyed our wine and food here! Just lacking a bit of vibes - however maybe we are too young for the normal crowd that come here. But my partner and I go to plenty of wine bars back in Melbourne and they are a bit more vibey/less awkward than this one.

We stayed in Port Fairy last week for the first time and found this wonderful restaurant and wine store.
Walking past the restaurant at night and it looked so inviting we had to check if any tables were available without a booking.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming and found us a table.
The food was fantastic and an extensive wine selection to match, even finding a German Riesling we have been looking everywhere to get.
The service was excellent and highly recommend eating here or looking for an excellent wine from overseas that can be hard to find.
Kate and Matt have established what arguably is, or will become the best restaurant in Port Fairy! From their friendly service to the expertly prepared, delightfully presented and delicious food, Conlan’s offers a delightful dining experience. Beyond their great meals they also have a carefully selected collection of local, regional and French and Italian wines to either take home or enjoy with your meal. Further they have a beautifully curated small collection of home wares, cheese, condiments and other delights. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of Matt and Kate’s spectacular Port Fairy creation.
