If you haven’t been to Tasmania I would strongly suggest it. We flew and hired a car. Drove from Hobart to Launceston over a ten day period staying at four locations. St.Helens was probably the best spot we stayed at. We struggled to find good food for most of the trip but once in Launceston the golf club restaurant, where we staying, spoiled us with a mostly excellent three course meal. Not to mention great cocktails and service. The scollops though were very disappointing and I told them so.
The prize for the best eating experience has to go to Mudbar on the marina. A modern looking eatery with inside and outside eating areas. The food spoke for itself in presentation and was a delight to eat. The waiter - Dylan - must get a special mention for very fine and knowledgable service and a hand written note wishing us a safe trip home. Very nice touch. A good choice of Tassy wines was on the menu which I didn’t see a lot of at other cafes, pubs etc. This place as my highest recommendation for food and service and a beautiful location. Go and enjoy, we did.
