Sardine Dining

Overview

Lakeside Precision and Gippsland Provenance: SARDINE Dining

SARDINE Dining is defined by "impeccable sourcing and coastal cool." Founded by Chef Mark Briggs (formerly of Melbourne’s Vue de monde and Teatro) and Victoria Briggs, the restaurant is an intimate, 40-seat sanctuary overlooking the Raymond Island ferry crossing. The philosophy is simple: celebrate the ingredients of the Gippsland Lakes and the surrounding market gardens of Lindenow. The interior is polished and nautical, featuring large windows that frame the water and flood the space with natural light. From the signature sardines with smoked garlic aioli to delicate blue swimmer crab pasta, every dish reflects a technical mastery of texture and flavour. Whether you are dining in the refined restaurant or grabbing a glass of Victorian wine at the adjacent Sardine Cantina, the venue offers a polished, world-class atmosphere that has made Paynesville a premier culinary destination.
