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.
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
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.
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 was pleasantly surprised to learn that not only are their ice creams all gluten free, they also offer gluten free cones and are knowledgeable about coeliac disease! They will get a fresh tub from the freezer and use separate utensils if you tell them you're coeliac. The ice cream was absolutely delicious as well which was a huge bonus!
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 ❤️
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.
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've eaten at the Dana Eating House 3 times now and it is always a pleasure. I chose it for a team dinner because they food is delish, there's an outdoor area and they're so accommodating with dietaries like Vegan and Coeliac.
HIGHLY recommend!
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
Fantastic service and food, our server's recommendations resulted in one of the best dinner experiences we had in Launceston. The care when accommodating coeliac/gluten allergies makes this place a must-visit.
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!!
Absolutely lovely addition to the gluten free scene! Gluten free, but you wouldn’t know it! Not stodgy or meeting ‘all dietary requirements in one’ - such a lovely change! Gluten free like I make it at home.
Had THE BEST pancakes I’ve had in a cafe for years! Coffee and hot chocolate were great too. We will definitely be back when we head out that way again! 👌

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.
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 had the best morning coffee at Earthy Eats cafe and then stayed on for lunch while on holidays in Launceston. An absolutely fabulous Cafe, with so much attention to healthy, natural ingredients with a delicious selection of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and low carb choices. Being diabetic it was great to have lo carb options. We headed back on the ferry to Geelong later that day. Next visit we'll be going back for coffee and lunch!
A lovely Dinner experience in Salamanca! Delicious Italian meal with the option of gluten free pizza, pasta and risottos. Lots of options for entrée as well, Amazing cocktails, friendly staff.
DELICIOUS fish and chips. Crispy chips, crunchy crumb on the fish. Salt and Pepper squid was delicious. Literally the best fish and chips we’ve had in Tassie so far. Amazing catering for gluten free. Lady at the counter was lovely, efficient and super knowledgeable. Worth the money, good quality ingredients and super fresh.
