Loot Cottage Garden Cafe, central Bacchus Marsh

Bacchus Marsh’s Loot Cottage Garden Cafe is something of an institution in Main Street, feeding home -style meals to generations of hungry Marshians.

Hearty meals, generous serves and wallet-friendly prices are the order of the day, with alcoholic drinks available and a pleasant outdoor seating area in back.

The menu takes a traditional approach, offering cakes, slices, foccacias, quiches, lasagne and what some claim are the best baked potatoes in the Marsh.

But you be the judge - join the locals and day trippers who make Loot Cottage a regular port of call.
