Title
Chicory Restaurant - Phillip Island Fine Dining
Description
During the 1930's Depression, chicory was one of the island's major industries and was used as a bulk additive to coffee which was very scarce and expensive at the time. It was also made into an essence.
Chicory farming was extremely labour intensive and became uneconomical due to cheaper imports. Chicory once grew wild in Europe. The Romans used it in salads 2000 years ago, and it is still being used in many European countries
Cowes is the main township of Phillip Island. It is located 140km south of Melbourne on the northern end of Phillip Island. This town is the central administrative centre of the island and has lots to offer. Attractions include the golf club, art exhibitions, theatre, restaurants, pubs, cinema and sheltered beaches.
