The whole dish was delicate and flavorful. We order bread as well. It had a nice roasted, nutty flavor to it - so it wasn't a boring slice of bread. All and all, the lunch was very, very good and enough to to feed two. A bit pricy, good value. Then we partook in dessert. The lemon Tart & Baked Cheesecake with Rhubarb. Simply the best way to finish this meal. Highly recommend either one.

Rupert & Hound is a seafood restaurant located on the banks of the North Esk River at Launceston's…read moreSeaport. This was our "fine dining" experience during our recent stay in Launceston. This place was a bit of a hike from our hotel, but well worth the exercise. The service here was perhaps the best I've experienced in awhile. That included being seating, early drinks, ordering, deliver from the kitchen, and paying up front. There was the right amount of checking in, without being overbearing. That included our interaction with a supervised trainee. The 4 us had a nice table by the window and a nice view of other folks in the dining room. We were particularly taken by the loving interactions of a dressed up young mother having her son out to dinner. Our wine? Tasmanian selections of course, including my nice choice of a dry Riesling. Cheesy Bread started us as the first choice off the menu, followed by a variety of seafood choices. I chose the Crumbled Tasmanian Scallops (with Chips). All were spot on in terms of presentation, taste, and portions. There was no rush to give up our table, but we did cut it short when our other fellow travelers (at another table) were ready to leave. We had reservations, which became more evident with the folks crowding the entrance when we left.

Why on earth didn't I think of that myself? It was so good that we almost ordered a second but decided against it for fear we wouldn't have room for the mains. Steak was cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce was to die for. I could have eaten that sauce alone and been totally content it was so flavoursome and delicious. The burger was actually really fresh tasting- if you want a greasy, American style burger this is not the place for you. This burger meat pattie tender and juicy and "spicy chipotle" did not disappoint- it was extremely hot! Finally, the tortellini was full of flavour and the portion a decent size (particularly if you are having entrees). Desserts were not too rich and obviously the ice cream was scrumptious. The only critique I have is that I assume they were understaffed tonight (either in the kitchen or waitstaff) as service was very slow, and I heard a lot of people complaining and waiters apologising. I'm sure this is not their usual routine and we may have caught them on a bad night. We waited quite a while for mains and then dessert and did not bother waiting for the bill (went up to the counter to retrieve it ourselves). We noticed many around us also waited quite a while for their meals. The food was so good though that this really didn't impact my opinion of the restaurant too much and I would definitely return!

Another 5 Star restaurant in Launceston and possibly the our best one yet. We made a reservation in…read moreadvance and still could only get a 5:30PM seat...something we rarely do. And glad that we did. We had never been there before and thought it was larger. It is quite small but very cozy. We ordered an order of house made sourdough bread served with a portion of cultured butter $3, a 400 gram porterhouse steak cooked medium rare that was served with a potato galette topped with a Dijon mustard cream sauce and chives $60, a side of steamed asparagus with lemon, elderberry, and golden sesame $13, and the Mr. Brown and Towns mixed mushrooms, parsley and garlic oil $13.50. The bread arrived and it was a beauty of A Piece. Tasty and the butter very good. We decided to leave it for the meal. Then the Porterhouse(we call it a NY Strip) arrived and it was beautiful. The taste was great. The marbling cooked right out to deliver a beautiful piece of meat. We ordered the Peppercorn sauce and an extra Café de Paris Sauce $2. Both sauces were great, although the steak was so great that it really didn't need them. The potato galette was awesome as it was topped with a Dijon cream sauce and chopped chives. I have now come home(US) and tried to make it. I will eventually get there!!! Now for the sides, the Mr. Brown and Towns mushrooms were some of the best I have ever had. Interesting that we had seen them at the Harvest Market that morning and admired them. Sad we were in a hotel and nowhere to cook them. When we saw them on the menu we hesitated for a moment as we are not garlic fans...don't let that stop you. If available, order them. Then there were the asparagus. We normally don't order as much food but couldn't help. Glad we did. They were over the top good. No room for dessert! Highly recommend. Make a reservation well in advance. Can't wait until our next trip to Launceston. Black Cow...Thanks for a great meal.
