Dunalley Waterfront Café & Gallery

Top choice in Tasman Peninsula & Port Arthur


With its broad outdoor deck and views across the water, this bright, airy cafe is a Dunalley culinary hot spot. The menu ranges from seafood pie with potato gratin to a pulled-pork sandwich with fennel slaw and chilli aioli. Homemade cakes, pizzas, brilliant coffee and Tasmanian wines are further excuses to linger. The funky gallery showcases local artists.
