My partner and I always go t OK Samuel Pepys wenever we visit Launceston, as we know the whole menu (which is very extensive) she is able to have (Lactose and Gluten Free). Food, service and atmosphere is always top notch. Can't recommend highly enough. Especially for people who have the battle of finding places that cater for allergies.
Top notch establishment. The food was divine with plenty of gluten free options (which were equally as good with gaurentee of no cross contamination for coeliacs). I highly recommend grabbing lunch or dinner hear. Would come again
A must-visit for all coeliacs, the waffles were delicious! Tastes even better knowing that it's safe for those with gluten allergies. The staff are lovely, and made our visit all the more sweeter.
I usually have a great experience at Rupert and hound however tonight was appalling.
We had friends visit from interstate so we took them to one of our favourite restaurants here . Being coeliac also a great option for dinner as well.
Friends have a 4 year old boy and we have a 3 year old boy, made this clear on the booking. Our waiter was fantastic. No issues. After the boys finished their dinner and we had just been served our mains they were a bit difficult , wanting to get down from the chair , trying to play with their toy cars on the floor , and we were all attempting to control the situation however as anyone with kids will know it can take a few minutes to figure out what is going to work tonight to get them to settle which we were working on. Got the kids settled, my son was on the lap of my wife with the phone volume turned down watching some videos , and the 4 year old was on the floor by the chair , plenty of room around playing quietly with his cars, could not hear them over the general noise at the restaurant at this point.
The issue as follows, table behind us had a young couple, unsure if they were reviewing the restaurant or something as they had a decent sized camera taking photos of food etc , they were sitting at a table for two against the window near the water. Their waiter came to them and informed them he had organised a new table for them in another area, not to worry it was still by a window and near the water if they would like to be shown to their new table. The couple was visibly confused, they asked why they needed to move and the waiter confirmed ‘if you’re going to enjoy your dinner you’d want to do that somewhere that isn’t so loud and distracting because of where you are sitting ‘ again couple confused asked what he meant, and he confirmed that ‘obviously the family behind is being quite loud and the children were misbehaving’ , they said it wasn’t an issue and were happy with their seating, the waiter confirmed ‘when it becomes a problem just let me know and I’ll sort you out okay’. The whole conversation was riddled with tone from the waiter. The kids at this point at mentioned were not making any noise.
Firstly totally killed the atmosphere in the section immediately. Secondly if you have an issue with the kids let us know, we were attempting to get them under control earlier and there is no issue in popping over if the kids are being disruptive and say ‘hey are we doing okay over here, noticed things seem to be getting a did you want to order some dessert for the boys etc’
Finally the couple clearly didn’t have an issue with what the waiter considered loud and disruptive and by the time he had offered to move them which they didn’t request the kids were fine.
Our guests were quite upset and while we went to pay the mother of the 4 year old took him out the front , and needless to say left in tears.
I won’t be going here again after this.
Really loving all of the new gluten free savoury options, as well as the gluten free sweet selection. Great coffee, great food and always really good service.
Amazing atmosphere and so many gluten free options! They have a sign specifically stating to use special gf tongs to grab gf food which of course we can all agree is very reassuring!! The food was delicious!! Definitely a wonderful stop!
This is a lovely Cafe with fresh fish and other really lovely dishes on the menu. We've never had a meal here that was less than perfect. I'm coeliac and have never had an issue eating here. This visit, I had the seafood Laksa and my partner had the chowder. So very good!
They also have full or half serves of their fish and chips. The gluten free version is especially good. I treat myself for lunch on occasion and it's never greasy. We've also had their lamb souvlaki in the past and it's so tasty!
Overall, I'd highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area. I think this is one of the best cafes in the Burnie area, and the service is excellent too.
Great gluten free toasties options., chicken cheese and avocado was really tasty. A number of gluten free sweet options to choose from too. The Coffee was good and hot. Friendly staff.
Dinner of fish and chips and seafood paella. Great to have gluten-free options. Food was good, but personally, I felt the portions could have been slightly more generous for the price. Nice venue with good views, attentive and friendly service. We enjoyed our meal, the seafood was cooked well and the flavours were on point.
GLUTEN FREE - OMG.
You know what, you can make your own atmosphere but whose got the inclination when all want to do is sink your teeth into the delicious burger served to your table.
We will be getting another "Burger" fix for our "Soul"before leaving Tassie.
Still as good 3 years since our last visit from SA.
Ordered Uber eats from here and the food was amazing, cooked quickly and delivered to our Airbnb all intact. Partner is coeliac and loved the wings. Will definitely come back next time 🙌🏼
We stopped at this place as we were going to cradle mountain. Lots of options for dietary requirements and they even especially made these gluten and dairy free pancakes for me!
Great service and great food :)
10/10
Absolutely delish! The best gluten free fish and chips I have had. It was perfectly cooked and the batter perfectly crispy. My Dad was also stoked to finally find quality and tasty gluten free. Will definitely be returning!!

This place has an extensive menu with multiple options including Mexican (all gluten free) pizza & Korean. It’s all outdoors & undercover with heating provided for the chilly evenings. The food was brought out quickly & was reasonably priced.
I loved the atmosphere & the decor. The food was delicious.
Stopped for a late lunch. Lots of gluten free options. Had salt and pepper squid that actually had GF flour. Fish was also offered with GF batter which is very rare
I am coeliac & it was a wonderful surprise when I asked if I could get gf fish & chips & stated I was coeliac. The staff are all over it fully understanding ingredients, separate fryers etc.
The food, staff & atmosphere was very enjoyable. We will be back next time we visit Tassie. Thank you ☺️
Had a beef burger, needed a bit more flavour. We also needed a gluten free meal and that wasn't a problem. But place needs a good refresh looks a bit dated.
Wow, definitely the best avo smash gluten free bread breakfast. GF bread is house made! This is only the half serve option, it’s bigger if you order the full serve. Love the pistachio dukkah. Will be back. Fantastic service too. Very happy. Thank you Dandy Lane.
It's an OK place to stop for a cuppa, but if you're gluten free don't expect much to choose from for a bite to eat. There are a few gluten free bakery items which are okay, but the two offerings for lunch are uninspiring. I stick to a nice cup of tea here. The husband likes to stop here as he's not gluten free and enjoys the menu.
Omg 😍🤩😛 this might be the best breakfast place i have been to. Everything we got was sensational. We had to over eat to try more, having the big breakfast, sweet waffles, soup, and coffees. Literally 10/10 for everything! A MUST when in Hobart.
Free street parking near by. Menu has lots of gluten free and dairy free options and many of the items are fresh from their farm. Just divine - Yum!!!!
Late Sunday afternoon visit right on closing time. Could not have been more welcoming. Lovely gluten free apple and rhubarb crumble with cream and ice cream. Gave us a larger serving as we were sharing. Quirky shop to wander around, brought back memories of childhood.
Loved this place, the decor is gorgeous and relaxed. The menu looked very basic, but the food once it arrived was far from basic. Really well finished, tasty and well presented. The service was good, efficient and friendly even tho they were busy.
The desserts caught my eye as I walked in and I was tempted by a gluten free scone. Best GF scone ever, light, fluffy and delicious ! Id be back just for another one of them. My lunch of loaded fries was so filling I couldnt finish it and the scone become dinner quite a few hours later. My lunch companion had what I thought would be a boring steak sandwich, but no, it was huge, also unfinishable and accompanied by a fabulous salad !
It really is worth having a meal here !
If you could sit out on the deck and take in either the rolling hills or the coast it would be heaven.
Customer service was great, speedy service, chips still taste home made which is awesome. Plenty of gluten free options...which i and many require. Well done.
Great place to take the family for lunch this holiday. Loved being able to find so easily Gluten Free coeliac safe food options. Staff were attentive and friendly. It made for a great lunch dining experience.
Great food with loads of Gluten free options. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Coeliac friendly as they use a separate fryer.
Will definitely be back 🤩🤩🤩
