At The Heads
About At The Heads
At The Heads in Barwon Heads is a relaxed yet striking waterfront restaurant set right on the pier where the Barwon River meets the ocean. The views across the water and toward The Bluff are part of the experience, but the food holds its own. The menu leans into local seafood—think oysters, prawns, and fish served with thoughtful seasonal ingredients. Whether you're stopping by for a long lunch or planning a special celebration, it’s one of those rare venues that manages to feel casual and elevated at the same time.
