Boatyard Launceston

Today I tried the Boat Yard. The food was lovely and the staff were kind and accommodating! the place was quiet and not too loud a little cold inside but that’s okay as it’s Tassie and weather changes rapidly (we came on a rainy day after a week of warm weather) there were no steps to get in which makes t easy for wheelchair access. there were a beautiful wide range of dishes with a believe the chef being Peruvian. the manager was new and had only been there 2 weeks and she was kind and friendly and ready to help. I had the beef croquettes that were crispy on the outside and filled with a beautiful silky potato and beef mixture (be careful the spicy mayo is spicy! 🥵) for my main I had the octopus the presentation was a little strange and unexpected but it was lovely and well balanced, one of the smaller portions on the menu but I added a side of their deliciously made corn ribs and it was perfect! for dessert I had the basque cheesecake which was made as a single serve portion, I do wish it had come with a cream or sauce but it was still delicious. I definitely will be returning and hopefully able to get the word out about it being gluten free. It’s a must visit! I do wish I had taken photos but we digged in too quick. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals and no one could fault any of it!
