Greater Frankston has been the hub for creatives, purveyors of fine food and movers and groovers since Joan Lindsay wrote Picnic at Hanging Rock at Mulberry Hill. With artists such as Harry McClelland, who held court with his artistic band of bohemians at what is now known as McClelland Park, this is the place where dreams and schemes gather. Jump forward to today and this ever-changing city by the bay is now home to award-winning restaurants that deliver international flavours and urban-edge café creators who provide contemporary and adventurous dining alternatives to foodie fanatics. The streets are dotted with delicious coffee, art and dining choices, while summer comes alive with waterfront activities, performing artists and Frankston residents living the good life to the gentle hum of the gateway to the Peninsula. And don’t forget the extensive outdoor dining options in Frankston and Seaford. This will be
the year of dining out, so come and enjoy this city at the top of the Peninsula. Culture and community are at the core of Frankston and surrounds. Whether it’s the hip crew getting together at one of the many bars and cafes sprouting up everywhere or the stellar arts precinct that provides world-class music, art exhibitions and performance alternatives, this is a region that’s ready to generate and activate. Big business has come to town and so have choice, selection and reinvention. From Korean to European to modern Asian cuisines plus the delivery of premium Peninsula wines and freshly brewed beer, get set to be wowed by a ramped-up version of a city with a view to Melbourne’s skyline hovering on the horizon. The vibe is cool, conversational and friendly. That’s Frankston.
