  1. A

    Burger Got Soul

    Best burgers in Launceston, served in a funky atmosphere. It's healthy too: good, lean meat, the freshest bread and crunchy salads. There are Soul Veggie Burgers for non meat-eaters.

    Pierre's

    Pierre's plates up light meals (bagels, burgers, pasta) and more substantial, innovative mains. Early risers can expect home-made fruit loaf and eggs any which way. Desserts sometimes drown in cream, but the coffee is classy. (Pierre's had one of the first three espresso machines in Australia!)

    Jailhouse Grill

    Serving grass-fed Tasmanian beef, this wood-fired meat mecca takes your choice of steak (eye fillet, scotch, rump or porterhouse) and cooks it just the way you like it. Management is full of winks and jokes.

    Fish ’n’ Chips

    The late afternoon sunshine on the riverfront deck here makes for a memorable meal. Upmarket fish ’n’ chips cooked fresh to order, seafood salads, antipasto platters and wine by the glass. Hard to beat and kid friendly, too.

    Fee & Me

    Serving innovative, upmarket cuisine, Fee & Me’s degustation-style dishes are all entrée size, the brackets of dishes moving from light to rich. Diners choose between three and five courses, depending on appetite. Service and wine are outstanding; decor misses the mark. Bookings are suggested.
