Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 9 October 2026 and 11 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Five places, one plan. The Gateway Shopping Centre is in Langwarrin, Karingal Hub Shopping Centre, Hola Mexico and Momentum Cafe are in Karingal next door, and Ferndale Reserve is in Frankston.
Each was checked against at least two sources, including council pages, the venues’ own sites, AGFG and OpenStreetMap. Hola Mexico is the only place with prices printed here, copied from its menu. Details may have changed, so check before you set out.
