With the laudable aim of showcasing Tasmanian food and wine – especially from boutique and small producers – this stylishly converted conservatory 15km south of Latrobe performs a valuable role and does so to great acclaim. Functioning as a cafe and providore, it's an excellent breakfast or lunch stop when travelling on the Bass Hwy. Try the Tasmanian gourmet platter ($40 per person).
