Just had the Seafood Chowder at Basin Café — it came with buttered toast and was absolutely delicious! Creamy, flavorful, and the kids loved it too. A really satisfying meal!

Absolutely delicious food. Compliments to the Chef! We ordered the salt & pepper squid and gamberi linguine and was blown away. Definitely above bistro quality food. Beautiful scenery too!

So much to enjoy

Great afternoon tea and breakfast here, we were so happy with the price, quality of the food and excellent service. Location is wonderful too which adds to the experience and the cafe is warm and welcoming. For breakfast we had eggs benedict with bacon, and poached eggs with bacon and they were delicious - both very well presented too! Will be going again next trip to Launceston 😁

Choc Pudding

I didnt have high expectations in regards of the foods, but I was surprisingly pleased. The view is amazing, and staff are very friendly, accommodated my request to change the salad. Had fish and chips with cooked spinach, and portion was big. It was nice and crispy, and I appreciated that the cooked spinach was seasoned well. Husband had sandwich and it was nice too.

The breakfast was really nice, the view amazing and the service brilliant. I had the smashed avocado and the coconut & lychee chia pudding, which were both really good! Especially the fresh strawberries in the pudding were the best I have had in Australia so far. My husband had the big breakfast, which was good but a little expensive. The coffee was ok as well. I definitely recommend this café if you plan to visit the gorge.
