Best Australian Restaurants in Risdon

Really amazing food. Had the buffalo cheese and rice crusted calamari and 2of each kind of their oysters to start, the fish n pork chop mains w duck fat potatoes side. One of the best taste experience. Such unique flavors and combination of ingredients. Had a beer, a dessert wine and an apple pie type dessert to finish and the bill came to about AUD250 before taxes. 2 adults and a child so feels quite good value. Our server Cliff was really good and attentive too. Highly recommend it.

Exceptional location, views amazing, decor exquisite, delicious array of food, with enjoying the local region wines, highly recommend

I went to dinner at Leatherwood last Friday, Dec 13th, with a few friends. When I made the booking, I tried to find their menu, but to no avail. A little frustrating, but intriguing at the same time. In hindsight, it really didn't matter. What I was impressed with, and lookingforward to, was that they exclusively use Tasmanian produce. We were seated at a table directly infront of the open kitchen and servery. Our server, John, was lovely and very knowledgeable. It's the first time I have been to a Hilton Hotel, in any capacity, so I was entering with an open mind, but also expecting it to be a bit "grand". Don't get me wrong! It is lovely! But I was pleasantly surprised that it isn't pretentious and has a welcoming ambience. To me, eventhough it's a 5⭐️ hotel, it "feels Tasmanian". Now the food. (I wish I had taken a photo of the menu, so I can give accurate details of the dishes) I started with the scallops. It is 3 half-shells, each containing 3 (albeit small) scallops on cauliflower mash. I was very happy to see that they keep the roe attached. ✔️✔️ Others had oysters, and chicken liver paté. By all accounts everything was lovely! My main was Rack of Lamb done perfectly pink, with chimichurri and beetroot marinated shallots. Others had mussels, Wagyu steak, Market Fish (Blue Eye) and chicken. We shared sides of crispy roasted potatoes, fries, broccollini and Dutch carrots. All plates were (almost licked) clean! Everything was perfect! No-one could fault a thing. We were pleasantly satiated. Even the wines we had exuded warm murmurings. Then they brought us the dessert menu! So ofcourse we had to partake. Most of us had Leatherwood Crème Brûlée, with rhubarb jam and shortbread (don't be fooled by the 4 small hexagonal pieces on the plate. When the server tells you "don't eat them", DON'T. They may look like shortbread, but infact they are bees wax! [We didn't try to eat them]) One of our party had the Apple pie. All plates emptied once again! 10 out of 5 ⭐️❤

Hi our lunch for my birthday was very pleasant. The staff were so helpful when one of our friends became unwell and needed to leave her husband called an ambulance and she was treated. Feeling much better now Kerrie
