Basin Cafe - Launceston

Traveled to launceston with a small child to see this beautiful place we have heard/read so much. all that we met in launceston, we are so kind, friendly and accrediting – until we met laura (apparently the manager and the daughter of the owner) as mother would understand how picky eaters can be our small children. first I ordered nuggets and chips for my hungry little child (what he had now in order), when I saw that they served macaroni as well as from the children's menu, I added in the order coz I know how much my small child loves macarano in the child care when laura served the macaroni I asked if I commented on the apple juice that came with the children's menu and she had it...

Yeay! it is another long holiday. we have an early flight to launcheston, tasmania. our first visit is to go to the cataract gorge reserve and after that we go to bridestowe lavender farm we kept in this caffe too breakfast, we ordered cappuccino and ofen bake with tomato basket, chorizo, cabbelinni beef, a roasted chiabatta for the coffee was in order and not excellent. the ofen backei was quite similar to place shaksuka at others. everything was well cooked, unfortunately it was overgrown. the part was quite small for a typical brunchspot and the chiabata was slightly buttery overall it is not bad for a brunch spot when considering...read more

I went with the seafood chowder with scallops, prawns, salmon and trevally. The bread was toasted lightly and was flavoursome with its herbs.

It was the first seafood meal I had in Tasmania and I was already liking what I was tasting. It's a great café with great food and views, so be sure check it out when you are at Cataract Gorge!

Look is fantastic and the food is surprisingly good for a tourist cafe. We had eggs and bacon, bcbreakfast and pancakes with blueberry syrup. Pancakes were generous and the blueberry syrup was really good. Eggs and bacon cooked to perfection. The BC breakfast was with feta with feta, red-lete, relish and rocket - to which I added some bacon and gluten-free toast. Was all the Celis and Rote-Beete Relish in a good way. Gluten-free bread was a potato bread he seems to appear flat or fried - the only real mistake with the meal - would recommend for breakfast
