Modern Greek restaurant on Lorne's main street. Holder of an AGFG 2026 chef's hat, known for slow-roasted lamb shoulder and grilled cheese.
Located at 48 Mountjoy Parade on Lorne's seafront main street, Ipsos received a 12-point chef's hat in the AGFG 2026 guide and is among the highest-rated restaurants on the Great Ocean Road on TripAdvisor. The menu is modern Greek, built for sharing, and changes slightly each day. Options include taramasalata with seaweed crisps (AUD 16), grilled kefalograviera cheese with figs (AUD 20), fried local calamari (AUD 30) and slow-roasted lamb shoulder for two (AUD 72). The chef's tasting menu is AUD 85 per person, for two or more. The cocktail list is also well liked. Booking through the website is recommended, and a 15% surcharge applies on public holidays. The restaurant overlooks the Lorne foreshore.
