Victoria Street, Robe
Victoria Street
Robe's main street, lined with 19th-century limestone buildings now home to cafés, galleries and seafood restaurants. It is the place to try South Australian rock lobster.
Victoria Street is the main street of Robe, lined with many limestone buildings from the mid-19th century. The Caledonian Inn, which opened in 1859, is still serving drinks and is one of the oldest pubs in town. Many of the old buildings now house cafés, boutiques, galleries, bakeries and seafood restaurants. The summer rock lobster season is the busiest time here. Many restaurants serve southern rock lobster caught locally, and you can also buy freshly cooked lobster near the fishing harbour. The street is short and can be walked end to end in about 15 minutes. From its end you can continue to the seafront Chinese Monument, the Customs House and the town beach. School holidays and long weekends draw many visitors, so it is best to book restaurants in advance.
