The 21 best breakfast and brunch in Devonport

Easily one of the best spots in town. The steak sandwich was extremely good. The vibe was amazing, the staff were super friendly. Will happily go back. One criticism is I ordered a croissant and they cut it open and toasted it in some weird way which kinda made it a bit stale and greasy tasting - the joy of a croissant is that that inside stays very fluffy and soft and steamy when it’s hot and you open it. Also better cold and fluffy but definitely never cut open. Also salted butter would be more tasty with it.

Amazing cafe which is close to the port. As the first feed after landing Tasmania, I was pretty satisfied. I ordered iced long black and steak n eggs. I would say the steak just normal level but the side foods were great. Nice staffs and good vibe here. BTW, one of the staff was having fried rice which looked so yum! 😆

Delicious place for breakfast and coffee. Really love the feel and the food. Ate here each morning on an outreach trip for work. Can’t fault it and will certainly be back on my next trip to Devonport.

The perfect cafe to drop into after disembarking from the Spirit of Tasmania early in the morning. The staff are warm and welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed. It’s accessible, kid friendly and pet friendly!

Why this place is only rated 4.6 will forever be one of life’s greatest mysteries. Calling all glutards: do not bother going anywhere else, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. These guys have you covered. I’m up from Hobart for work and already contemplating how I can convince my husband that we need to drive three hours every Saturday just for brunch. The chicken waffles? Say no more. Hands down the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time—and I eat out a lot. GLUTEN FREE. I’ll be back, and I’ll be shouting this place’s name from the rooftops. Do yourself a favour: just get here now.

Laneway has a very relaxing yet cool vibed atmosphere. The staff are pleasant to deal with and quick to attend to you. The meals were served in a timely manner and presented beautifully on the plate. (I usually take photos - will update eith pictures when I go back again) I tried the Eggs Benefict, Steak Sandwich and the Southern Fried Chicken & Bacon Burger served with chips, aioli sauce and a Go Go Mango smoothie. All meals were delicious, the flavours went together perfectly. Nothing was off balance! The beverage was served in a perfect sized glass, it was just enough to quench your thirst without leaving you with a feeling of wanting more. Pricing is suitable for serving you're given and the quality of the food. For example: todays meal (26/10/25) we ordered - 2 meals, 2 coffees and a Go Go Mango smoothie cost around $89.00. The owners: Amber and her husband are also very approachable and hold great conversations. Highly recommend Laneway!

We first discovered Laneway a few years ago and have made it our regular breakfast spot when we come in on the Spirit. Disappointed to find this time that they no longer have a separate vegan menu - while many of the same dishes are still available on the main menu, they are now "vegan options" which means paying full price for a meal with ingredients removed (plus a 10% weekend surcharge). What we ordered was still tasty and well prepared, but the value for money and overall experience were less than what we had come to expect.

Curious name. But good sandwiches, oops Toasties. This was recommended to us by the hosts of our holiday home. And it's really super near so we might as well. On a chilly morning the crew were friendly and the Toasties were good and quite substantial. A few of us couldn't finish and had to bag it for takeaway. If you're in the area, I'd recommend this too.

We had an absolute treat! The food was incredible, and the coffee was amazing! But what really made our experience stand out was the super friendly staff - they made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Tasmania. Highly recommend! 🤌🏻🤠😎🖤💥

Kid friendly and exceptional service! Food was well above average. Friendly staff that had smiling faces and great with little kids. They had a high chair and an area out the back where baby could stomp around while waiting for the food. Many vegetarian options. Very fair pricing. I don't normally leave reviews, but I thought this place definitely deserves a shoutout as being a cut above many cafes in this country that disappoint too often. No blasting music. Good vibe.

Playfish Cafe in Devonport offers delicious food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. The menu features a variety of dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. The staff, including the fantastic and helpful owner, is attentive and welcoming, making every visit a pleasure. Whether you're grabbing a coffee or enjoying a meal with friends, Playfish Cafe is a great choice for a memorable dining experience in Devonport. Plus, if you're off the Spirit of Tasmania, it's the only place available with yummy and unforgettable food and coffee. Thank you 😊

Within 30 minutes of arriving in Tassie on the ferry, we came across Playfish for breakfast. Google reviews lead us here and we were not disappointed! Hubby and I ordered an eggs Benedict which came with a generous portion of bacon. Super soft fresh bread and perfection sauce. Thank you chef 🙏 This lovely cafe has a retro feel with the old Formica tables and colourful chairs. Coffee was great, so much so we took another one for the road. The owner Dean was a delight and clearly knows what he is doing in a kitchen! If you have the opportunity we highly recommend you check it out

We loved the food, the service and the retro decor. A lot of thought has clearly been put into all of it by Dean, the owner … Open early, so a great place to head for brekkie after getting off the Spirit of Tasmania ferry from the mainland!

Straight off the boat and could not receive any better welcome to Tasmania 🙏 Best eggs Benedict with delicious 😋 bacon. It's pitch black and pouring rain outside and thankfully I googled the most convenient carpark options for towing a caravan. We didn't want to eat breakfast on the boat but wanted a decent hot serving and decent coffee. Ticked every box and customer service outstanding 👌

Absolutely loved our visit to Fundamental Espresso! I ordered a double shot oat latte and my partner had the long black with a double shot—both were spot on. The texture was perfect, super smooth, not the slightest bit bitter, and you can tell they use quality beans! 🙌🏾😍 We also grabbed a couple of bagels—halloumi for me and a BLT for my partner. Fresh, tasty, and really satisfying🙏🏽 The café has a welcoming, spacious vibe with music that's not too loud—just the right volume to enjoy some old school bangers in the background, which really added to the relaxed and fun atmosphere. It's a great spot to sit in and relax or grab something on the go. Plus, there are some great views just around the corner. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Devonport!🫶🏽

Google Maps lost my review from Sept 2023 along with the actual listing of this great little local gem. (I must say, Google Maps hasn't fixed this despite me bringing it to their attention Jan 2024 🙄) I was introduced to this place by a local friend. Their coffees are second to none, and have actually improved compared to my first time here. Quality is well above the Tassie average, and comparable to Melbourne standards. AND their truffles mushie sandwich is to die for. Even better after a good workout session!! And I must give a shout out to the team as well, who are always warmly welcoming to every single customer. You can see this from the high level of customer throughput here! Keep up the great work team!! 👍 💪☺️

Where to start. You drive off the boat and barely know what day it is. Coffee. They absolutely nail the long black, despite not using anything special in terms of beans. Please fix that, as Tassie have some awesome roasters. Then you get the music. Last trip I heard Neal Francis playing. Shazam helped and haven’t stopped listening to him since. But here is the kicker. The bagels. A little pricey, yes, but they could be the best I’ve ever had. That’s including Melbourne and New York. Everything about this salmon bagel is perfect. The dill and capers through the cream cheese, the Tassie smoked salmon, the slice of cucumber for freshness and crunch. And the bagel, nice and doughy, but not chewy. God damn. What a bagel.

the most Elite coffee! the absolute BEST you will find on the NW (and truthfully anywhere else you’ll go in Tassie). The service is amazing & the staff are truly so welcoming & friendly! the owners, Tom and Em are wonderful & have created such a fantastic shop, the atmosphere and vibe in the store is fantastic! Definitely make this your port of call off the Spirit - make sure you get a breakfast bagel, they are made in house and a 10/10.

Magnificent bagels and coffee. ☕️ Delicious coffee beans and perfect temperature. True aficionados in this space. Years of experience here but Google lost their original profile. Chairs and breakfast bar on side wall but not for those wanting a chair and table setting.

Great salmon bagel. Coffee is ok. Atmosphere is very good, white coated benchtops from birch plywood, greetings the first second you enter and quick service from The staff. Guys are missing on TripAdvisor, worth adding the place there! For outstanding service please serve a glass of sparkling water with short black

I got a magic and a flat white. The service was great and the cafe was clean. However, the coffee didn't taste great. The magic was strangely sweet. The flat white did not have a coffee taste. If you ever visit singapore, do give the magic from Tiong Hoe's original store a try. It tastes a lot better than the one from this shop.

Super friendly staff, fantastic food. The best hot chocolate I had so far in Tassie. The roti is so crispy. Highly recommended!

I recently visited the Afghan café XOXO and was pleasantly surprised. The cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality make it a truly special place. Their matcha was absolutely delightful – perfectly balanced in flavor and beautifully presented. The highlight, however, was their traditional Afghan dishes. The rich aromas of spices, fresh ingredients, and masterful preparation created an unforgettable dining experience.

Delicious halal food with plenty of variety! The space is beautifully designed, showcasing the rich Pakistani and Afghani culture. A perfect spot for great food and a warm, aesthetic atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Been coming for years now. The food and coffee are sensational; so good infact that sometimes I just drive 2.5 hours to get there for my ‘fix’!! The food is fresh and delectable and made to order. Excellent value for money considering the quality ingredients. Every dish is made with love; you can just taste it! If you don’t go you’ll miss out for the rest of your life!

Great food, lovely interior, friendly service and they have a drink called shilajit.

I tried the falafel with green chili and it was absolutely delicious… such a lovely taste! The reception was handled by a girl from Punjab, India, who was very lovely and had a great style of hospitality

This is lovely cafe that doesn’t just sell awesome coffee. The house made turmeric chai latte is also a must try as it is creamy and full of flavour. The food is of exceptional quality, especially the Afghan curries and pratha. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend trying is the Korean cuisine on the menu as it is over priced, with not the best authentic flavour. My humble suggestion is the café should focus on what it does the best: coffees and Afghan cuisine.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The menu said to ask about the specials, so I did, but the staff just told me to check the board outside and mentioned there were only a few left without any further explanation. There were no timings listed on the menu, but I was told that lunch is only available from 10:30 am. When I asked about a dish I had seen earlier, they bluntly replied, “If it’s not on the menu, then it’s not available.” After waiting 30 minutes to order, I asked to add eggs, but the said eggs were only available until 10:30 am and couldn’t be added to the lunch menu. The service was unfriendly and unhelpful, making it a very disappointing visit.

Honestly the food is great!! Very nice Nepalese food. But one of the service staff really needs to get better training, attitude was quite bad :(

Beautiful flavours in the avocado and feta brekky, beetroot sauce was awesome, good amount of avo and feta, nice and quiet atmosphere to relax in and super friendly staff.

Good coffee. Average customer service. Decided to pivot today and order a juice (the gut healing combo) and when i received my order it tasted horrible - like watery celery with nothing else - I asked about having some more fruit added and was shocked to see the pineapple was going to come from a can! I have never in my life seen a cafe use canned pineapple in a FRESH juice. What in the world. I could have purchased a much nicer quality juice from the fridge if I wanted processed pineapple juice. Totally threw me. I'll just stick to a takeaway coffee going forward and go else where for FRESH juice. **I understand that fresh fruit is not always readily available all year round - so maybe change your menu to reflect the season? And most importantly BE TRANSPARENT and let your customers know!

Absolutely brilliant little cafe! Beautiful food prepared with care. We can't wait to return and try more dishes.

i got the asian salad with tofu and mushrooms and it was delicious. light and healthy is what i was looking for. staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. water and bathroom available inside and many vegan options! even the sweet treats. nondairy milk is available for lattes and smoothies

Really enjoyed going here, fantastic menu. Variety and fair prices, could not fault the service, were extremely accommodating I enjoyed the decor and layout of the place, look forward to going again. Have already told others about this place.

An unexpected delight - we stumbled across this cafe on a walk and absolutely loved it. Great views, good service and most of all an unexpected menu with your classics as well as more creative options. We‘ll be back 😍

Wow. The consistency of this cafe is unreal. Have been here multiple times over the past few years, but moved to Adelaide and haven’t been for a while. We came back for their Father’s Day bookings this year; had their beef brisket eggs, and it was one of the best breakfast I’ve ever had. The rest our table also thoroughly enjoyed the food, including the chilli eggs. They always have great service, quick with their food and drinks, and a great selection that caters to all dietary requirements. The view is beautiful to top it all off. Highly highly recommend. Best cafe on the north west coast by far !

The Harbourmaster Café is an absolute treasure by the water. The chilli scrambled eggs were possibly the best I’ve ever had; fluffy, full of flavour, and with just the right amount of heat. The coffee was top-notch and paired perfectly with the relaxed waterfront scenery. Service was spot on, and the whole place has a welcoming, easy vibe. Hard to beat for breakfast in Devonport.

Good service and good food. Tips: need to book if you want to have lunch because it’s gonna be full. Nice view ✨

Had the Wild Mushroom Benny and it was one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in Tasmania! Beautiful harbour views and great coffee too, highly recommend!

Cute little place on the harbour in Devonport. Food was beautifully presented and tasted just as good.

Excellent service, food was a standout from other cafes in Devonport. Diverse menu Gluten free options

Worst shop : ordered at 11:17am and got the order at 11:33am. What about 3 minutes policy? They even ignored the order listed on the job display for order number 115. What a global brand name.

They forgot to put the sauce and one order missed please check your order before leaving it’s not worth to come back to take it.

I had a terrible experience here. I waited for over two hours and never received my food. When I asked about it, a staff member shouted at me to leave. Absolutely unacceptable service. I paid and got nothing but disrespect. Very disappointing.

While our food was very tasty, it took 30 minutes just to get our order, which was wrong. I had to ask three times for missing items before I finally received my entire order. The drinks tasted flat. like the co2 needed to be changed. And the team members seemed to distracted taking pictures of eachother which is probably why my order took so long, and was wrong. I definitely suggest to others to try the other McDonald’s or maybe a hungry jacks before coming to this one.

Absolutely appalling experience at this restaurant, I don’t believe there has been a time where I haven’t had to either give them back my order cause they have given me the wrong things, or times I haven’t double checked the meal in a drive-through and have had to suffer the consequences of throwing out what I have paid for, as it was the wrong. Service always takes at least 10 minutes (without others ordering or in the drive-through) which is certainly not “fast food” in my opinion.

Just pulled into the drive through before boarding the Spirit and was told they all on break and will be back in 30min. Lights were all on, no staff and no service. Pretty average for 24h service

Grubbiest Maccas I’ve ever been to in The world including Australia, UK, USA, Borneo. Flies everywhere, yeah it’s Australia but it’s not exactly stinking hot in Devonport. Attended at 7.30-7.45pm.

What has happened Banjo's???? This is my ham and pineapple pizza order. They were fresh ones which horrified me. The cheese were a sour, curdled, oily mess. The were simply as I purchased them and intended to eat immediately. I couldn't possibly eat them though. I'm wondering if it is a one off or the future Banjo's pizzas....

I ordered a salad sandwich, drove 5 minutes back to work, took the sandwich out of the back and cringed with the instant moistness I felt with my fingers. The top layer of bread (pressing against the tomato) was not just moist, but full on wet. It made a squish noise when I poked it. I tried to lift up the paper to move the sandwich and the moisture had soaked through so the paper fell apart and salad went everywhere. I tried to eat around the soggy bread but the tomato was so old and had soaked onto everything that it was completely inedible. Hopefully my chickens will eat it.

Comfy Cafe for having breakfast, brunch and lunch. Some pies and pastries such as bread always freshly baked, and coffee and chai are just perfect to serve, the staff are friendly. Recommended

Lovely potato pie, but do have a spoon and plate on hand. As it's filled to the brim of yummy mince and spills out after first two bites.

Pigeons should not be in the store. Maybe if you cleaned the tables and swept the floor they wouldn't need to come inside. It was not like they were flat out either. 7 customers plus staff.

Just another Banjo Bakery Cafe! Peaceful and clean, popular but never over crowded. Friendly staff, nice indoor and outdoor seating. No complaints.

Ordered an egg and bacon pie. The pie was dripping with oil and grease, the bacon was in a big lump at the bottom of the pie and looked like fake processed meat, not bacon.

The zucchini fritters were unique & amazing, loved the eggs Benedict cuz they used blue cheese, burger was good too according to my son. Their hot chocolate & coffee were gorgeous as well, even for me who’s really picky with my hot beverages. Loved their food, loved their vibes!!!

The food was absolutely phenomenal, fresh ingredients and portions spot on! Service exceptional. Coffee 10/10. Thank you for having us!

Came here for brunch with my partner. The staff was very lovely, all full of smiles. The prices were reasonable. And the food was amazing. We both had the pancakes and neither of us could finish it because of how amazing the serving size was. Can’t wait to come back soon.

Incredibly fast and friendly service given it was deservedly busy. Loved my burger and coffee. Chips were also outstanding. Big portions.

The food was excellent, the service was great and the drinks and meals arrived in record time. I noticed all of the team worked well together and I assume it was the owner was also very attentive to customers needs. Moving people to different tables away from the door and asking if they wanted the heating on. I would highly recommend and will be definitely going again. It’s the little details that makes a difference. Upon paying I was asked how everything was and I was acknowledged when waiting to pay by one of the team who was taking a menu to another table. My boys had little lunch platters and they were generous with a great little assortment of kiddie friendly items. I love eggs Benny and hollandaise and I always order extra hollandaise. I didn’t really need the extra as the portions of everything were perfect. Great quality meals and beautiful attention to detail.

A very pleasant dining experience that went very smoothly 😊 We booked, we arrived, were greeted, sat, got our drinks ordered then soon after our food, got given our food promptly, had our table cleared and then we payed! A seamless experience. Highly recommended 👏🏻

Amazing all round place. Coffee amazing. Food... Yummy. All followed with service with a smile and the prices very reasonable

I took my children in to this amazing bakery yesterday as a home school excursion. The staff were super friendly, kind and helpful. All of my children said that everything they had tasted so yummy ! The only thing they had bad to say was that the Jelly was a bit bland, but other than that it was all so yummy 😊 I 100% recommend All Things Nice Bakery and Cafe !! Thank you lovely ladies for such a great experience !!! ☺️

Must be new owners because the service is lacking and its all but empty.... Best Bakery in Tasmania Winner? Don't see why?

Nice place to drop by after you get off the spirit of Tasmania. Big Brekkie was delicious and coffee isn't bad either. Lots of pastries to choose from! They also have lots of bread :) all sorts of breakfast available here, including pancakes, toast, foccacias, filled croissants etc. For reasonable prices!

I had a coffee and chicken pie 🥧 yesterday morning and it was really good. They have all sorts of toasties and hot food as well. I thought it was just a bakery. And the people was nice to.

They make the best coffee at 5am. My only other choice is McDonald's but that's not even in the same class. Food is fresh also, I believe everything is cooked on the premises.

Coffee ☕️ is best. Customer service and food quality is great

New owners are doing a wonderful job. Shop is looking very clean and tidy, service is friendly and the food is great!

Got an acai bowl from here - was so runny like soup. Had half a banana and about a tablespoon of Granola. Not sure if this is the usual for this store but other acai bowls I've bought have had lots of fresh fruit etc. Also the menu said it was $11 but I got charged $12.. was it because I paid by card? There was no advertisement that I'd get a $1 surcharge.

Great value fresh juices - really tasty and vibrant. Also grabbed a 'ready to go' salad roll from the cabinet and it was so delicious! Its too cold in there though - I couldn't sit because there was a draft and in general its not the sort of place I would stop by as its a bit empty/hollow. Nice staff and fast service.

Usually a great place to eat. Shame that 3 of the 4 last salads I've bought from here have had ingredients that have been off.

The green room has great smoothies and sandwiches, i love getting my fruits drinks here, however they are almost ALWAYS closed far earlier than the closing time says. Upsetting when it’s the only time of day i can usually get there.

My new favourite healthy food café! So many great items on the menu but the caesar wrap and mango smoothie are my two faves. You should check them out if you're on the lookout for some guilt-free, yet yummy meals and snacks.

At last! a pleasant Devonport lunch bar that is - reasonably priced! Nice coffee & the take-out or eat-in Chicken salad is mostly chicken - great value. Sweet staff, bright little cafe - eat here and save $$$ on a light lunch for two.

The freshness draws you in off the street. The gorgeous spread of unbelievable salads wraps and salads fruits and smoothies. This is a health fanatics dream shop even feel healthier just looking at the wonderful colours of real food. Well worth checking out.

Cute little shop with great atmosphere, sells the classic coffee chai, muffin and slices. Seems to be a bit hard for just one person to juggle during peak hours though.

Coffee was not good. Tried long black and latte. First time in a long time we haven’t finished our coffees. Such a shame Edit: Of course I said thank you. Our coffee was to takeaway. We realised halfway down the street that the coffee was bad.

Nice tasty and smooth coffee I ever had !!! The best so far !

It was a unplanned visit and fully satisfied with coffee and the hospitality provided by the guy over the counter. Well presented and priced.

Cozy little nook. Nice and warm on a cold day with some nice relaxing instrumental music. Fast service and lovely coffee.

Coffee always good here. Excellent barista and quick service. Nice to have a place to go in Devonport where you can guarantee that your coffee is going to be top notch, and exactly what you asked for.

Really nice coffee and the owner's are a lovely young couple. Have been going now for close to 3 years he always remembers our order even if we haven't been in for month's. Exceptional service . Thank you.

Pretty big disgrace really the cups that hold the sugar are disgusting and sticky as was the table. My toasted sandwich had all the ends of the tomato in it. When I brought this up, the server kept repeating how much I had to pay her and refused to fix the situation told me it was wrong my sandwich was like that now $10.50 10.50 I replied can you tell me how often these sugar cups get cleaned and she just kept repeating 10.50 10.50 disgusting behaviour and service. As I work in the industry myself it's quite poor to see how badly things have gotten.

Closing at 5pm, not a problem we'll have a coffee and hot chocolate please. 4pm we Sat over the back for a bit of peace so we could chat. They asked us to move to the front so they could wash the floors. So let's vacuum and wash the floors with bleach around our customers while they try and enjoy the aroma of strong bleach instead of their drinks. The one star is only so I could leave you an honest review.

"The Coffee Spot in Devonport is a popular cafe serving great coffee and delicious meals at affordable prices. Enjoy sandwiches, fish and chips, roast lunch, and savory toast in a friendly atmosphere with Tasmanian artwork on display."

Sadly we had breakfast here and were disappointed,we frequently go here but today our eggs and bacon were not great. My eggs were under done and within an hour I had food poisoning. It's not that hard to cook an egg, we asked for two half streanth coffee's and someone must have forgot, I left half of mine.

Not typically one to complain but the service I received today was ridiculous at lunch time - not busy at all for takeaway, simply wanted a few items from the hot box - staff member was extremely rude and had no interest in being there quite frank from the public eye. Not to mention, working with food, hair was out? won’t be returning.

Hot filled potatoes..... Hmmmmmm would be better if you mashed it up a bit and added butter to melt through it... very dry and unappealing. Definitely not worth the price. Had it 2 times... the first and the last

Good value, cheap style eats / excellent pies. Bacon and egg burger including beef pattie and cheese was $9.50. $2.50 small coffee Sunday to Tuesday. Cash only

We enjoyed fantastic coffee and delicious homemade food at the Larder Cafe while visiting Devonport. My husband really enjoyed his ham and cheese croissant, while I had the bacon and zucchini fritter with relish, which was hands down the best fritter I have ever had when eating out. I couldn’t resist grabbing one of their freshly baked Monte Carlo biscuits to take away, so good! The café had lot's of locals, always a great sign that you have found a gem.

A lovely spot with delicious and varied home-made sweet and savoury options. Good coffee too.

This is a very nice placeto get a great coffee and food. The friendly sevice is a pleasure to experience and when you leave it's with a smile on you face. Keep doing what your doing ladles an every time I'm in Devonport I will keep making a beer line to your Cafe Rob

Very disappointing- the lady serving us was so busy talking to friends that we had eaten our morning tea before we got coffee and my husband had drunk his coffee before I received my smoothie. Then we bought two really nice sized scallop pies to take home. It was all sauce I was lucky to find 3 very small scollops in it. We were trying to support a local business but it proved to be disappointing

Fabulous coffee, welcoming staff, gorgeous goodies made by the cafe. Highly recommended.

Nice cafe with interesting meals and different options that you usually find in other cafes. I appreciated the vegetarian pattie served with a choice of different yummy salads. The coffee was alright. I am not sure all the sweets are made on site but there are heaps of choices. Staff were friendly.

I had an excellent cooked breakfast, very generous serve and well cooked. Nice and friendly staff. Very good coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice.

RAJ!!! You rambunctious rascal. How dare you cook such a delicious eye fillet?? Your peppercorn sauce was perfection and let’s not forget those cooked by the hands of God fries that came with my dinner. I even had a fair crack at the freshest salad I’ve ever had. Dinner tonight made my stay at the gateway worthy of the best review I could offer. Thank you to everyone here who always make my stay super special. A guest since 2003!!

Was here two nights in a row and shocked that this bistro did not show up when Googled Devonport food. Hidden gem as the service was prompt and food was delish First visit we ordered beef cheek, ribs and calamari salad. Never have we tasted such an amazing salad - we did ask for fetta and dressing on the side. Prices are reasonable and we were full & happy 😋 So... We came back for the eye fillet w mushroom sauce, salmon, calamari again & side of veg. Salmon was bit over, calamari consistently good, steak & chips perfectly cooked. Very satisfied!

Great rooms and value for money, we would definitely stay here again. Beautiful comfy big king bed, great friendly staff, fantastic location and good value. Room was nice and clean and modern as was the whole premises, Sherri at reception was fantastic and very professional indeed. Well worth a stay !

We stayed for the night on our way to Stanley. The hotel accommodation was great, very comfortable and a good size. The Restaurant provided an amazing Chicken Roulade and the bar / restaurant staff were terrific. Friendly and efficient, just the way we like it. The gaming was excellent too. We’ll be back when we are next in Devonport. Thank you.

We were recommended to try the meals here and were very impressed. We went for lunch and had the seniors special. We had the porterhouse steak and it was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent and the staff pleasant. We will definitely be back.

Very disappointed, had a booking for 6pm ordered at 6.20 went and asked if we ordered at counter staff eventually came to table at this time there were 5 tables in dinning room. Ordered garlic bread 2 children's meals 4 adult meals at 7.00 we received garlic bread cold by now there were a total of 8 tables in dinning room 6 were single table 1table of 6 1 table of two. Asked if kids meals could come out they were aplenty on there way nuggets and chips and bangers and mash 7.10 kids meals came out . We put garlic bread plate at end of table with our plates which we had to ask for and end of table as well as empty glasses and no point did staff ask us how were were going collect plates anything 7.25 our meals arrived 3 medium rare steaks over cooked and cold 1 beef cheeks warm nasi gorieng hot only thing that was sent one steak back as by this time very hungry same temp as the first one and medium no rare at all very disappointed did get 50% of but would have preference a hot steak cooked properly nor left on a warmer hot mushroom sauce . Will not return

Just had dinner here and it was AMAZING! Meals where huge and absolutely delicious. The ladies who where working tonight where also outstanding, they where so good with my kids and just so so lovely, warm and inviting. Their customer service was on point! When we come back to TAS again we will 100% be coming back here :)

My friend and I came in for lunch with a booking, our table was dirty and we ended up having to clean up ourselves as the server came over multiple times and didn’t clean up. We took a long time to get served and waited over 45 minutes for our food. Once food arrived, my dish was cold and didn’t come with the extras I ordered, my friends food looked awful and they swapped something on her dish without asking, what if she was allergic? It also took ages for us to get our cutlery to start eating and our iced drinks were warm. Overall not a good experience. Positive notes: there was one server who was nice, and the bacon was good.

Really nice cafe, with lovely fresh food choices. We had the Avocado Bagel and the Prawn Sandwich which was yummy. We would eat there again.

This place has an incredible view and an unbeatable location, perfect for unwinding after a walk along the river or simply enjoying the scenery with a coffee. They also organize activities throughout the year with different themes, such as Christmas or Halloween, which makes it a great spot for family moments.

First and last visit. I really wanted to like this café, but unfortunately, the experience made that impossible. I arrived for a booking and went to the counter to check in. The staff were busy making orders, which I completely understand — but a simple “someone will be with you shortly” would’ve gone a long way. Just a touch of acknowledgment… basic hospitality, really. When we were eventually shown to our table, I was genuinely taken aback. It hadn’t been cleared — used mugs, coffee spills, and sauce splatters were all over it. A waitress came to collect a few items, then returned again to grab the rest, and finally, a few minutes later, brought us menus — still seemingly unaware of the mess. I ended up cleaning the table myself with a napkin. Because clearly, that's what guests are meant to do now. While we were waiting, an older gentleman (not staff, but worth noting) approached our table and hovered uncomfortably close to comment on my friend’s tattoos — ending his speech with a wildly inappropriate and invasive question. Not the café’s fault per se, but certainly didn’t help the already uncomfortable lunch experience. It took about 15 minutes before our order was taken, and when our iced chocolate drinks arrived, they were barely cold and tasted watered down. Not exactly the kind of drink you’d expect to go wrong, but here we are. Then came the food — eventually. About 45 minutes after ordering, —The bagel was cold and missing the extras we paid for. The burrito bowl? Visually unappealing and somehow tasted worse. And to top it off, an ingredient was swapped out without asking — which is especially concerning considering dietary restrictions or allergies. When it came time to pay, there was no “how was everything?” or even basic politeness. Just a transaction, and not a pleasant one. I’ve worked in hospitality — I know what it’s like when things get busy. But this wasn’t just a rough day. It was a string of oversights and a serious lack of basic customer service. Definitely not worth the money, or the time

We ordered a carrot cake for a recent celebration and were impressed. The cake was large, beautifully presented and full of flavour—easily serving a big group. The price was excellent, the ordering process was simple, and the whole experience was seamless. Highly recommend Marion Storm!

Amazing little Cafe. Great food, friendly staff, pleasant and relaxing atmosphere Coffee is great 😋 Don't go past without dropping in !!

At very short notice we needed a table for lunch for eight people and three dogs (so outside, obviously), after plans for a birthday lunch had to change. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a lovely spot on the deck outside the Devonport Maritime Museum. We tried a number of the dishes and everyone gave the food 10/10. Coffee was also delicious. The service was excellent and our waitress was pleasant, quick and happy to assist with any requests. A must do when in Devonport and we'll definitely be back.

I ordered online and paid then get to hungry jacks and my order wasn’t in the system. Had to pay again for my order. Get home and one of the burgers is pink and cold

Ive been here once before and the burgers were awesome. This time around it was not only B grade, it had additional ingredients not included in the burger I ordered. Made it less enjoyable.... Why didn't I return it? Because HE'S doesn't pay for the fuel it takes to return it. Cheaper to toss it out and go somewhere else

Ensure that your order is correct before leaving unless you want to be told by the manager that you’re a liar & that it’s your own fault the order is wrong because you should have checked it 💀. Appalling. Couldn’t imagine being in a managerial position and treating paying customers horribly, embarrassing for them.

One of the few places where they take care of your order and it comes out looking like the photo, not like its been through a hurricane. Great food, great service. 🍔

a sauce packet was drowned in burger sauce, forgot a whole meal and nuggets from a stunner meal. the manager packed the food so i don’t even blame the children that work there. also the napkins were wet from the soft drinks when handed to us! definitely not happy.

Food was great loved it toilets were clean I think they need 2 female toilets but anyway the disabled one was free

Often forget items. May have been a bad day, but our last meal tasted like the meat had been boiled ... very soggy. Missing requested cheese on burgers. Had to go back in and get missing items (this is pretty common).

The restaurant is situated a good location where you can enjoy the sea view. And it’s a cozy place. Large coffee is really price worthy. And the restaurant has lots of options to choose from for lunch and dinner. Today we tried their breakfast, and we thought the flavour was a bit too light.

Enjoyed an amazing dining experience at this cozy spot right in front of Mercy River! The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing meal with beautiful river views. The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and flavors that stand out. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal in a scenic setting!

We embarked on this gem of a fusion cafe & restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Mersey River. Our timing was perfect as the Spirit of Tasmania ferry passed by, prompting us to sit on the deck to embrace the beautiful ambiance. The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant vibe, with welcoming and efficient staff. We started with the Tempura squid, which was simply incredible. If you enjoy fried calamari, this is a lighter, crispier version that melts in your mouth—absolutely irresistible. For our main courses, we chose the famous Nasi Goreng and the Chef's special Scallop curry. The chef created a delightful seafood feast with a variety of flavours in each dish. The creamy coconut curry scallops were a highlight—Savory and perfect for savouring large sea scallops in a fragrant curry sauce. This aromatic dish is a seafood lover's dream and an absolute must-try. The exotic Nasi Goreng, an Indonesian fried rice, impressed us with its unique dark brown rich caramelized colour. It was served with a sunny-side-up egg (the yolk blending beautifully with the rice), alongside fresh cucumber and a slice of caramelized pineapple. This dish is a delicious blend of flavours that transported us to paradise in just a few bites. To wrap up our meal we ordered the blueberry pavlova. In my opinion, this is the perfect indulgent dessert to finish any meal. A crispy outer shell and a fluffy marshmallow centre, topped with pillows of whipped cream and fresh blueberries. They offer a diverse selection of coffees and an amazing hot chocolate. The menu features various meal options that emphasize fresh, local produce. It's clear why Dineboat receives such high ratings from its customers—we absolutely loved it. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Stopped for lunch. Was a fantastic meal. Full flavours, with excellent service. A great place to enjoy a superb meal and watch the world go by. I enjoyed the Una Black Pork Curry. Never had this dish before, and will definitely be ordering again!

Beautiful cosy cafe with range of meal options! Inviting atmosphere and very friendly staff. Meal portions were so generous and cooked to perfection 💛 We had lot of different drinks from the menu and they were all amazingly delicious 🤤 Hands down the best in town! (My kids were offered colouring pages while we wait, and children enjoyed a lot ! ) Thank you DineBoat for this amazing food experience, we would definitely come back… 🙏🙏🙏

100% the best Nasi Goreng I’ve ever eaten. Such a friendly place, with the cosiest atmosphere. Beautiful owners who could not have been more helpful or kind, they even brought out pencils and colouring in paper for our kids. The view of the river with the maritime theme inside is so cute. Highly recommend the Sri Lankan food and really excited to go back and try more.

Moving to Burnie a few months ago and discoved this place, I have immensely impressed with the food and environment! All the staff there are so friendly and the owners are so lovely! They have an amazing selection of Sri Lankan and Western food both. Also it’s a great location to enjoy a meal as well.

The atmosphere was amazing (we scored a window seat overlooking the coast), service was really good and so friendly, food was very yummy!

We extend our congratulations to Kim, Bruce and Kurt Robinson on the grand opening of The Atrium Cafe at The Cove Tasmania. The establishment boasts a stunning aesthetic setting, complemented by exquisite furnishings and an atmosphere that is truly captivating with magnificent views even on an overcast winter day. The service was exceptional, provided with warmth and friendliness, and the meals were all expertly presented and delectable. The menu offers an extensive range of choices, catering to diverse tastes.

Kurt and team, great food, service and wow for view and food. We will be back

Views are amazing!! I had signature burgers and chai latte Delicious !!

Positives include good range and price of wine. Great view and comfortable furnishings. Sorry but we had lamb burger which was half the size of the bun with a slice of red onion, small portion of spinach and hand full of chips..$30 We eat out to experience different food and the menu is very unimaginative. The male waiter was the best of the service staff.

Food was average and customer service lacking. We were only spoken to twice by the waitresses, once to order and once when food was delivered. There was no check-in to see how the meal was, nor were our plates cleared even after 15 minutes. I had egg shell in my fritters and let them know when I paid, an insincere apology was given. The breakfast burger is one egg, one piece of bacon and one slice of cheese with some sauce..The view and coffee are lovely though.

Popped out today and had the most delicious brunch. Ambience was great as was our wait person Luke. Great to have someone with personality and he had it in abundance. Well done to everyone.
