Caledonian Inn

A bluestone landmark on Robe's main street, this long-running inn has poured drinks and served meals since it was first licensed in 1858. The kitchen leans into what the Limestone Coast does well: locally caught crayfish through summer, fresh seafood year-round, and honest pub cooking like schnitzels and roasts, with a roast night each Wednesday through the colder months. You can eat in the cosy bistro, the back bar, the beer garden, or beside the fire in the front bar. Dinner runs from 6pm daily and the place stays open late, so it suits both an early family meal and a slower evening over a local wine. Bookings are wise in the holiday season, when the town fills and tables go quickly. It remains an independently run local rather than part of any chain.
