Restaurant Review – Novaro’s, Launceston

Leah — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 08:00:17 +0000

I love Italian food. I have a newly discovered passion for seafood. Combine the two and I am one happy camper!

We were chatting with our B&B hosts in Launceston (from the lovely Kurrajong House) and of course I asked for recommendations for dinner. Novaro’s was the first place Julie mentioned and she kindly offered to [...]

Restaurant review – Andrikos Seafood

Leah — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:35:31 +0000

By way of disclaimer, I was introduced to this new restaurant at Paddington by a friend who has a distant connection to the chef. However, these opinions are entirely my own and I paid for my own meal!

I must confess, I was spoilt by seafood in Tasmania, and as a result the stuff in Brisbane [...]

Restaurant review – Stillwater, Launceston

Stillwater is located at the Old Mill in Launceston, with a beautiful view out over the water. Unfortunately it was night when we went, so we didn’t get to see too much!

It was day 2 of the honeymoon, and we used this is an excuse to spend up big and enjoy 3 full courses! Stillwater [...]

For years I was never really into seafood. I’ve always liked fish – I think because for many years we were spoilt with the freshest whiting caught off the beach by my grandpa. But prawns, scallops, shellfish – it never really appealed.

I started to like prawns when J’s mum made the most amazing marinated prawn [...]

Restaurant Review – Piccolo, Hobart

Leah — Mon, 30 May 2011 21:00:59 +0000

This is a small, busy Italian restaurant in Hobart. A small word of warning – take your jacket if you need to go to the bathroom, as it’s outside and down a short flight of stairs – this proved to be quite chilly after the warm restaurant! Also, bookings are virtually essential.

For our entree [...]

Restaurant review – Me Wah, Hobart

Leah — Thu, 26 May 2011 22:00:11 +0000

Our final night in Hobart and Tasmania was spent eating the amazing “Peony” set menu at Me Wah Chinese Restaurant. The food was of exceptionally high quality and was probably some of the nicest Chinese food I’ve ever had!

First up – Seafood dumplings (steamed) – blue swimmer crab meat and pork broth (my favourite), prawn [...]
