Genuinely… the best meal of my life! Do yourself a favour and get the Signature Banquet - $60pp, 5 courses and each course will blow you away! And my gosh… the dips are to die for!!! Completely celiac friendly, such professional and friendly staff and so much flavour packed into each dish! Melt in your mouth meat! Cheese that makes you believe in god and pistachio ice cream that ties everything together in just pure perfection! The Pinot noir pure bliss! Would fly from Perth again purely for this meal! I will be back! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
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
Incredible Gluten Free Battered Fish. Yes Battered! Beer battered or Tempura. Both delicious and crunchy. Very solid wine and beer choices too. Went back twice on the trip. Check it out! And super friendly service.
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.
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.
This place is the best, and safe for Coeliac customers. The owner has a coeliac in the family, so the menu has a huge range of gluten free foods, and all deserts are gluten free. The service was incredible and the food is amazing! My fav place when I visit Tassie, knowing I’m in safe hands ❤️
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.
We ate here 1 night while staying at St Helen's. Came without a booking at a busy time but they found a table for us. Server confirmed gluten free options with the chef for me. I had the seafood marinara gluten free which had a decent amount of seafood and plenty of sugo though a bit too much chilli for my taste. My husband had fish and chips which was a large serve, hot, crisp and tasty. The service was very slow (45mins wait) because they only had 1 person in the kitchen but plenty of wait staff - would have been better the other way around. We got talking to the people at the next table so that filled in the waiting time. The wait staff were friendly and helpful.
Huge burger and chips, tasty like a big Mac. I can confirm that their chips are gluten free/ coeliac because they have a separate fryer only for chips. GF bun was decent.
Best Bloody Mary I’ve had in Australia plus the sardines on toast was delicious and the gluten free bread was nice. My friends all really enjoyed their meals too. Great vibe and atmosphere and the staff were super friendly. We came back for pizza one night and that was also great! Cant go wrong with this place :)
Celiac friendly
