About Moke Dining

Coastal calm out front, serious technique in the kitchen—Flinders standout Moke Dining delivers a regional degustation without a drop of pretension. Peninsula regulars regard Chef Michael Cole’s multi-course set menu as one of the coast’s best bargains. Local produce anchors the progression: bite-sized raw fish tacos give way to precisely cooked local fish, roasted meats, and seasonal desserts. Front-of-house co-owner Alex runs the converted-home dining room with unhurried warmth, while the kitchen crew frequently steps out from the pass to talk through sauces and sourcing. The plates land generous enough to leave you properly satisfied, right through to the house-made focaccia and clever palate cleansers.

  • Dynamic Tasting Menu: A multi-course tasting format celebrating Mornington Peninsula produce, shifting frequently with the seasons.
  • Warm Chef & Host Presence: Co-owners Michael Cole and Alex lead an unpretentious room, often talking guests through courses at the table.
  • Unpretentious Fine Dining: A relaxed converted-home coastal setting offering high-level technique without stuffy dining room etiquette.
