Dunalley Bay Distillery - Eat and Drinks — Restaurant in Tasmania

Average. Tourist trade mostly because I don't think too many locals will bother going again. There is very little monetary value in what is on offer. The place has had a decent, long overdue, but definitely not well considered, makeover. Why put the counter so close to the door? Especially such a huge counter area? Patrons are forced to line up right in the doorway and need to shuffle around each other to fit the next people in. You are also lining up right in front of the drinks fridge... There is no menu board so patrons need to share one of only four supplied menus. There is only one server meaning quite long delays, especially since she keeps stopping to hand out said menus and calling out the fish variety available. She also has to leave the counter to grab beepers from the dining area. Also there were no scallops in the meal, even though they are advertised as being there. If there were a fish and chip van in the area I think they would be in a bit of trouble... Update: The owners are obviously upset by my review and I'm truly sorry for this, however this is my honest experience of the business. I wish this business well but personally I am unimpressed. And I am a local who knows a bit about...

Best Fish and Chips in Southern Tasmania, if not the Southern Hemisphere.

Fresh and locally sourced seafood with a range of hot and cold options such as oysters, prawns, crayfish and ceviche (absolutely delicious).

Perfectly cooked fish and chips while you wait and so refreshing from the usual Bain Marie soggy chips and dry fish. The increasing popularity means high turnover and a fresh product every serve.

Tastfully renovated with views one would pay top $$$ in any other restaurant for the views alone.

The Staff are clearly enjoying themselves and credit must go to the new owners Sandra and Mark for their ability to breathe life into the Dunallley community which they are clearly excited to be a part of.

Ally, at the front of house, is pleasant and friendly and gave us the history and local knowledge on the resident Elephant Seal - Neal.

The Cook gave us some local travel tips and had a friendly chat with us while we waited. The presentation of the meal was superbly rustic delivered in old fashioned butchers paper.

Do yourself a favour and try the best Fish and Chips you'll have eaten in a long time.

Bonus points for B.Y.O.

I'll certainly be a...

I have known Sandra for 30 years and when she combined with Mark years ago this is a power couple who know their stuff.
