Stelo At Pierre's - Launceston

Omg from the moment you walked in, you were greeted, made feel welcomed and all the ladies were so lovely. Alyssa, not sure if this is the right spelling but you are the most enjoyable, fun, quirky and professional waitress I have ever come across. Your level of commitment and interaction with your customers is nothing short of superb!!! You can see that you really enjoy what you do and you’re amazing at it!!! Thank you for all our flavoursome meals!!! They are full of flavour and such goodness!!! Thank you, thank you thank you xx

Wasn’t quite sure where to eat, but able to walk in and glad I did. The food was great. I opted for the 4 course with paired wines. Little cauliflower bites to start, and then delicious scollops, with celeriac crips. The pasta with truffle was soft and silky and the lamb rich. Swapped the tiramisu for an affogatto to complete the meal. Definitely go back. Food was lovely and nothing over done. Just good flavours.

Everyone told us when we moved to Launceston, how great the food was, as far as it was good, but not quite until the hype. This has changed today. This was the most beautiful meal so far in Launceston. It lived until the hype. Had a really pleasant lunch. Great starters to share, especially the arancini balls. Really interesting pasta dish with sausage and squid. It worked well. Separate children's menu. If it is beautiful, eat the back in the courtyard.

We arrived for our dinner reservation and were offered a lovely table in the rear courtyard. We ordered our drinks and were promptly brought food menus. The cocktail menu had a mix of unique and traditional. They were so delightfully garnished! Stelo has an a la carte option and a tasting menu (we dined on a Wednesday) we opted for the a la carte (we wanted the oysters). The oysters were fresh and plump. The Kilpatrick had a delicate spicy kick. I’m glad we ordered a dozen! The flavours in our mains were all very well balanced: the crackling pork was perfect with the slaw, and the fish of the day (trevally) was a great size, perfectly cooked and paired well with the volluté. The side of broccolini was crunchy not over cooked at all as you sometimes find in other places. My only regret is I didn’t have a big enough stomach to fit in dessert! Each course was excellent and the service was spot on. The waitperson looking after our table was friendly and informative without being over intrusive or pushy we even left a tip! This is a restaurant that really goes above and beyond to ensure the customer has a great experience, and is a great place to visit for both everyday dining or a special occasion. You could also see and hear all the tables around us having a great time! I hope to return the next time I’m in Launny.

What a sensational experience...as a teenager living in Launceston in the 60's, Pierre's was the go to coffee lounge...now in 2022, Stelo at Pierre's should be at the very top of one's bucket list as a must go to up market dining experience..!!
