Driving through the main street in Port Elliot around lunch time, a tourist can't help but notice the queue emerging from the . Each day we drove past, we promised ourselves a visit- little did we know this would become a favourite lunch choice on more days than one. Luckily, on the days we visited, we weren't affected by the power blackouts caused by the New Year heat wave.



Open for 23 years and still operated by the same owners, this bakery is world-class. We came for the pies but were also tempted by their expanding, cream-laden donuts and thick vanilla or caramel slices. We tried the pizza, ham and pineapple, and pepper-steak pies. They are a steal, priced at around $3.50 each. Considering they are baked daily from fresh ingredients and are so deliciously innovative in their flavour experiments, many commercial bakeries are charging much more for a far lesser quality item.

The pizza pie was so moreish that I wanted to rush back in and buy another one before I'd finished. It was a mince meat pie, topped with melted cheese, red capsicum, onion and tomato. Everything was perfect from the pastry encasing the meat to that oh-so-delightful topping. Their ham and pineapple pie is the "Pie of the month" with shredded ham and pineapple cubes on top of a meat pie. And the pepper steak pie had chunks of real steak which got the thumbs up from the boy.



So the lesson of the trip? If you see a place with a queue out the door, it is for a very good reason. Waste no time and join it, especially the one at - it won't be your last time.
