You’ll be surprised to find options from early morning to night dining and/or takeaway 7 days a week, although you will need to cook at home Monday nights! And you may have to travel the 9-minute triangle to suit all your food needs. It’s a lot to chew over, so we are providing a crude summary list of early morning and evening possibilities only here. The separate Loch/Nyora/Poowong sections have more detail on each place and where to find them. Remember to check for seasonal changes in operating times!
