Our response to the Coronavirus

Due to the Federal Government’s COVID-19 restrictions Max’s Restaurant will be closed for dining for the foreseeable future.
All upcoming bookings have been cancelled and all vouchers due to expire during this period of closure have been extended.

We have introduced our Max’s At Home menu – a selection of dishes to heat and eat at your place. Please see our social pages for menus and details of how to order. We are also serving our delicious fish and chips in takeaway format every Friday night between 5-8pm. See our socials or the what’s on page of our website for further details.

We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you back in the restaurant when we emerge stronger and even more delicious!

Stay safe, stay well and be kind.

Our Story

Max’s Restaurant is the original winery restaurant on the Mornington Peninsula.

A little over 20 years ago, a young Max Paganoni returned from his travels through Europe with the dream of showcasing his home, the (then) little known region of the Mornington Peninsula to the world. With a passion for local produce and wines, he set out to create the Peninsula’s first winery restaurant.

Fast forward to today and the multi-award winning, highly regarded restaurant is serving local, seasonal modern dishes to guests from all over the world every day of the year. The restaurant is joined by two accommodation properties and a tour business and Max’s dream is realised.
