MARRAWAH INN — Restaurant in Tasmania

Brilliant - a terrific place for a great feed and a drink or two. Epic menu - something for every taste and every budget. Whether we went upmarket for the sensational local wagu beef or cruised along with the home-made parma, the food was fabulous over the three nights we dined there. Lovely beer on tap and great value local wine by the glass. The wine list has modest markups that we could only dream about in Melbourne. Michelle runs a great establishment that has a lovely vibe - plenty of interesting photos up about local history and west coast surfing. We were staying at the absolutely wonderful Mount View accomodation down the road which comes with a better kitchen and more ingredients than we have at home - but the offering at Marrawah Inn was so good that every dinner time we headed back up the hill....

Stayed in the overnight camping area at Marrawah Inn and had dinner in the bistro. After 20 days on veggie diet in the van I splashed out on the rib eye steak and had probably the best steak experience of my life. Ordered medium rare, it was PERFECTLY cooked (so uncommon!), bordering on rare but with the merest hint of pink seeping into the pepper sauce. The steak was beautifully tender, but still enough texture to know it was steak and not blotting paper like some of those high score Japanese beef cuts. The accompanying vege were nicely cooked to a lovely 'al dente' finish and the mash was smooth and creamy. There seemed to be a bit of a delay getting my food, I don't know if they forgot my order at first, but was well worth the wait. Only sorry I'm back to the mainland tomorrow and won't get to...

Wow, is all i can say, head in for a drink and an awesome feed. These guys have nailed it. Heaps of drink options probably even too many, but they had local spirits, wines, and beers as well as all your mainland stuff as well. There was plenty of photographic memorabilia and local panoramic pics on the walls, and that was just in the bar area. When we sat down to eat, it was also a great area with heaps of space. Menu had great options, and they were not wrong when they advised us they had the best of many things here. The crumbed scallops, oysters kilpatrick, and steaks i can say were to die for. The meals are a great size and more than filling. The schnitzels are huge, and the daughter couldn't finish it. The garlic sauce is fresh and made on site...
