Mietta's Review
A brightly coloured, and adorned family eatery, a favourite amongst local and day-trippers. At any time of the day the menu is hearty, wholesome and well prepared, always offering good value for money. The Bayleaf is one of those places you need to check out when you arrive in the town to find out what's happening, it's the hub of Apollo Bay.
