St John Street in central Launceston holds a rare thing for a regional city: a cafe that is meat-free from top to bottom and busy for it, seven days a week. The all-day menu roams without apology, shakshuka and haloumi in the morning, nasi goreng, quesadillas with guacamole, pasta and rice bowls as the day wears on, proving vegetarian cooking need not be earnest or beige. A licence puts Tasmanian craft beer, cider and wine on the table beside the coffee, and the sweets cabinet, baked in-house daily, keeps gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan eaters in the fold. The mood is unpretentious and local, a room that treats plant-forward eating as the default rather than the accommodation. In a state that leans hard on its farmed and fished produce, it is a welcome outlier.
