We keep our food cycle as close to home as possible and allow the fresh produce to speak for itself. The thing about simple honest food is that there is nothing simple about it; it’s the blood, sweat and tears that go into it long before it even enters the kitchen and it’s this integrity that makes simple food extraordinary.
“100% organic, grass-fed, no bullsh!t…
It’s nice that this is no longer an occasion but this is just how we do things now, common practice the common sense way.”
La Bimba Restaurant was established in 1999. 13 years ago, Steve Earl took over the business and, adopting the ethos of paddock-to-plate he intentionally utilised regional produce and local food systems to support the local economy.
The restaurant is in the coastal town of Apollo Bay. Apollo Bay is at the foot of the Otways and home to one of Victoria’s remaining fishing-ports and pork, lamb and beef farming. It has a village-like atmosphere, offering beautiful surroundings for hiking, fishing, diving and surfing. Being in this pristine environment, it makes sense for the region to dictate the menu.
Today, the La Bimba team continue to celebrate the region’s produce, which is demonstrated in the menu and relationships with local businesses.
