 The Gorge Restaurant


The Gorge Restaurant is a modern Australian restaurant located in the tranquil grounds of the Cataract Gorge Reserve in Launceston.


The restaurant is a little oasis nestled amongst the greenery of the reserve and provides both an indoor and outdoor dining experience.

On warm days, the alfresco dining area is the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a meal in the shade while listening to the natural soundtrack of the resident peacocks and watching the chairlifts peacefully float by. 


On cooler days, the crackling wood fire and crisp white tablecloths make the indoor dining area particularly alluring.

The menu showcases quality Tasmanian produce and each meal is beautifully plated with care and precision.

The Tasmanian bush pepper calamari was presented delicately and had just the right amount of zing to awaken and prepare your tastebuds for the next course.

The eye fillet steak was cooked to perfection - juicy and succulent with an oyster in the middle which gave the steak a delicious flavour that complemented the prawns, scallops and garlic butter. The scallops and prawns were plump and plentiful.

Make sure you save room for dessert - the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth apple frangipane tart was drizzled with the most delicious salted caramel glaze and the creamy espresso panna cotta was accompanied by a tasty gingerbread, candied pecans and dark chocolate soil - a welcome textural element.

Dining at this restaurant was a really enjoyable experience - the staff were friendly and attentive, the location was stunning and the food was amazing. Don't overlook this restaurant because it's in a 'touristy area'.

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre

Aløft is located on the top level of the Brooke Street Pier on Hobart's beautiful waterfront. Situated at the end of the pier, Aløft has spectacular views of the River Derwent. It has both fine dining and funky vibes but we found that as the evening progressed, the atmosphere became more intimate. The expansive windows at the front of the restaurant allow diners to take in the view however if you'd prefer to watch the chefs in their element, you can sit around the open kitchen and watch them create. Aløft offers a nine course chefs menu which takes your tastebuds on a Tasmanian adventure. The cuisine could be described as modern Australian showcasing the best seasonal Tasmanian produce with Asian influences. We adored the chefs menu. Each course was delicately and exquisitely presented.  Although the menu emphasised fresh Tasmanian seafood, other proteins such such as pork, wallaby and lamb were featured as well as vegetables, which were treated with great respect and expertise
