Dining

Casual fare

Choose Rosa's Cucina Italiana for the funky bistro atmosphere and for mum's meat sauce and home-made tiramisu. It's a first-come, first-served deal so go early in the evening and early on in the week to avoid line-ups.

Fish 'n' Chips

As humble as the Pajo's shack looks, its fish and chips are superlative. This Rocky Point Park concession has earned iconic status with those-in-the-know who gather at the outdoor picnic tables to share a chip or two. Be sure to include a hand-made ice-cream from Rocky Point Ice Cream around the corner. The stall is only open in the summer and serves the best flavour combinations around. There's even an ice-cream blend especially for canines – kibbles mixed with a low fat vanilla!

Pub Grub

Newport Village has a few eateries, the favorite being St. James's Well Irish pub, better known to locals as simply 'The Well'. Here's where to come for pub grub and dinners that include Guinness, Crab & Corn Soup alongside Jameson Irish Whiskey Chicken, Steak and Guinness Pie, Bangers & Mash and even Liver & Onions. All the bacon and ham is cured on premises; some recipes date back to the early 1600s.

Coffee Shops

Also located in Newport Village, Gallaghers Coffee House is a great meeting place for cappuccinos and fresh-baked goodies. However, if the Italian bakery across the way is too hard to resist, grab a take out from both places and stroll down to Rocky Point Park.
