Food 'n'Brew Co

Occupying the Burgess Street site once home to Pasini's, this fully licensed cafe-restaurant and wine bar has become one of the livelier evening spots in the town centre. The kitchen turns out woodfired pizza, pasta, burgers and the day's fresh catches, with a focus on Tasmanian produce and a bar pouring local wine and beer. It opens every day and runs through into the evening, which makes it a reliable option when other kitchens have shut. The mood is casual and family-friendly rather than formal, and there is a decent spread of vegetarian and vegan choices. Owner-run and firmly independent, it is the sort of unpretentious local room that anchors a small coastal town, a good bet for a straightforward, relaxed dinner without needing to book weeks ahead.
