Healthy food abounds in Mildura's cafes and restaurants, most of which are clustered on Langtree Avenue, just south of the mall. If you have your own transport, you can make an enjoyable outing to buy fruit and vegetables from surrounding farms. Otherwise, there are three excellent supermarkets, including a 24-hour Coles, surrounding Langtree Mall.
Hudak's Bakery Cafe , Langtree Mall, 8th St and Central Plaza. Good continental breads and delicious zucchini slices. Daily from 7am. Lauretz of Langtree , 30 Langtree Ave. All-you-can-eat pizza, pasta, soup and salad - suitable for big appetites, and only $8.75. Daily from 5pm. Outlaws , Langtree Ave, opposite Stefano's.
