About Claribeaux

Claribeaux is a restaurant on Portarlington Road in Curlewis, on the Bellarine Peninsula. It serves breakfast and dinner daily and runs private events, group dinners and weddings alongside its regular trade. The building is all clean lines and glass, with floor-to-ceiling windows and greenery stretching away outside. The main dining room sits under a curved timber ceiling, and there is also a bar and lounge plus an undercover balcony. For private events the venue seats from 30 to 150 guests, or holds between 50 and 400 for a cocktail party. Weddings work on similar numbers, and ceremonies can be held outdoors on the greens with the bay in view. The kitchen leans on local produce, and the head chef writes menus with a French accent and a modern, fusion edge. Groups of 15 or more order from a set menu of two or three courses, choosing their own sides and wines. Claribeaux is fully licensed, so drinks are served by the venue rather than brought in. Celebration cakes can be ordered through the kitchen with a few days of notice, since food made elsewhere is not allowed. The events team handles birthdays, engagement dinners, anniversaries, conferences and weddings. There is accessible parking, an accessible entrance and accessible bathrooms.
