Nicey but pricey!! The food at the tavern is excellent…read more It's cooked and presented beautifully and the portion sizes are quite decent. A big thumbs up for the wood fired oven - we had some lovely oven baked fish. The staff are very friendly - Brendan really made us feel welcome and took the time to talk to us even though it was busy. The food is a little bit expensive for pub food though. I think that this is easily the best option for eating in Swansea, it was the only one recommended by our B&B hosts and other locals.

This place was quite a find, lovely food. The salmon was the best yet I had in Tassie, lovely and…read morefresh and great portions, great service with a smile. Highly recommend!

We stopped at Bark Mill Bakery for a quick pit stop on our way to Bicheno. It's a popular spot as…read morethe place was absolutely slammed when we dropped in. There was even two tour buses in the parking lot. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30pm). They have a bit of everything; sandwiches, meat pies, desserts, soups, breakfast and drinks (coffee, tea and hot/cold drinks). - Sausage pie ($3.90 AUD) - our friend devoured this so quickly that we didn't even see it. - Savoury pie ($3.90 AUD) - we tried a savoury pie. It tasted like a chicken pot pie without the chicken. Great crunchy, flaky texture. Will need to try more of these. - Vanilla slice ($5.50 AUD) - our other friend told us these are great in Ozzy. She let us sample; light and creamy. Yum. - Korma curry vegetable ($5.90 AUD) - potato, pumpkin, carrot, peas, spinach, onion, cauliflower, zucchini and sweet potato. Our first vegetarian pie; curry was mild. Decent enough. Good little cafe spot to grab a quick bite.

Made a quick pit stop at this bakery in Swansea on our way to the airport from Coles Bay. We only…read morehad a piccolo latte and Banbury slice but wished we had time for more as all the food in their display cases looked quite appetizing, especially their selection of savory pies (which is saying something in Australia). Being in the Tasmanian countryside we may have preferred a more "mom and pop" type of bakery rather than this somewhat touristy, slightly franchise-y looking establishment complete with an attached tavern, but the selection and quality of the food made it worth the stop.

We decided to stop by two wineries on the way to Bicheno. Spring Vale Vineyards was the first one…read more It's in some very cool digs. The tastings are done right in the original convict built building. Very classy with a bit of a rustic feel to it. Wine tastings are free AND unlimited. Talk about dangerous! There was a mix of reds and whites that we sampled. The host was engaging and knowledgeable. Cool that they have a bin end specials ($28.00 to 30.00 AUD) for bottles that were slight imperfect. They even let us sample a few of their grapes that were on the counter. - Spring Vale rose 2017 ($30.00 AUD) - we bought a bottle for our friend as they liked the rose the best. Cool little winery with some good wines to try.

We stopped in for lunch after a morning exploring wineglass beach and hazard beach. The Barrundi fish and chips daily special was super tasty with two large pieces of crispy fried fish sitting on a heap of lightly seasoned fries-one order was plenty for the two of us for lunch. NOTE: as elsewhere iIn Australia, tomato sauce (ketchup) as well as tartar sauce are NOT free and must be ordered with your meal (cost $AUD 1.50). Because the 20 or so favors of ice cream all looked so inviting as well, we both decided on a cone to fortify us for our afternoon adventures. I liked the white chocolate/ raspberry and my wife enjoyed the English toffee. Service was super quick and there were tables in and outside I if you want to eat in. I liked it and would recommend it for a nice quick lunch.

I tried the vanilla, chocolate, macadamia nut, and mint chocolate. All were excellent, but I definitely recommend getting the macadamia nut. It has forever ruined me in a good way!

Wow what a find. This is in a really cool century old cabin. It's know as a new up and comer in…read moreAustralia. They are an expert Pinot noir house and their estate blend is really incredible. It's part of a very old family holdings. And they are in fact the second oldest family business in Tasmania. They have nice white whites but the Pinot noirs are where they really shine. Incredible complexity with a rich almost tobacco flavor with a wonderful finish are the result. They are a small producer and even their high volume run is only 4,000 bottles. The staff there is super friendly and if you are lucky and are from Australia join their wine club and get a nice instance discount.
