Local restaurateurs experiment with the diverse ‘A grade’ quality local produce to make the most of what this resource rich area has to offer. We have several Age Good Food Guide restaurants in Bright and many more good quality restaurants to back these up, plus everything from fish and chips, pizza, pancakes and curries.

Most restaurants offer a selection of regionally produced award winning wines i.e. from the many local wineries at Porepunkah, Gapsted, Myrtleford and Mt. Beauty areas just to name a few! Most of the regional wineries also provide an impressive dining menu for lunch and some also provide entertainment on special occasions.

Coffee and tea are treated with love and respect in the Bright area. Many cafes are also licensed and showcase some of the regions finest wines. Our bakeries are famous for their gourmet fare and their coffees/teas. Some of the retail shops and most attractions sell a great cup of tea or coffee and yummy cakes and other tempting morsels. Specialty cafes sell some really unique gifts, works of art, sweets and gourmet food.
