Places to Eat & Drink

There are numerous places to eat across Alexandrina that are ready to serve up some of the region’s finest food and wine to Kumuwuki / Big Wave delegates.

You can find a complete list of places to eat on the Visit Alexandrina website or through the Connect Alexandrina mobile app (for iPhone), but below is a selection of places to eat that have been in contact with us to let us know their opening hours, whether they offer discounts to delegates, and to confirm they will serve coffee in the Kumuwuki / Big Wave reusable KeepCup (available for $15 from the Kumuwuki online store).

If you are staying in a house or somewhere with kitchen facilities, you might like to cook and prepare your own meals.  We've listed shops (supermarket, green grocers and butchers) where you can get supplies.
