Discovery Resorts - Cradle Mountain Hellyers Restaurant

After a couple of challenging nights trying to find filling vegan food around Cradle Mountain, dining at Hellyer Restaurant was such a welcome and memorable experience. Our waiter, Andres, was an absolute standout - charming, attentive, and genuinely helpful. He liaised with the chef and guided me through the menu with care, making it easy to choose great vegan-friendly options. I had the mushroom medley entrée, with broccolini, pumpkin, and chips to share with vegan mayonnaise - everything was beautifully cooked, flavourful, and satisfying. The real surprise came with dessert: two generous scoops of delicious vegan coconut ice cream, which felt like a rare treat in this region. We also dined here on our first night arriving at Cradle Mountain, when I had the vegan cauliflower main, which was equally beautiful and delicious. The service, the quality of the food, and the stunning mountain views made this a standout dining experience. It’s also a wonderfully cosy and warm place to relax, especially on colder days. Highly recommend Hellyer Restaurant to any vegans visiting the area - the price is absolutely worth it for the care, quality, atmosphere, and experience. One suggestion: more vegan dessert options (that aren’t “sorbet”)

We, a family of 4, had dinner her for 2 nights in a row and the food is excellent. On the 1st night we had 2 scotch fillets, chips, and market fish as mains, followed by 3 hazelnut ganache and 1 miso tart desserts. On the 2nd night, New Years eve, we had the cheese platter as an appetiser, the scotch fillet, duck, and market fish followed by 2 miso tarts and 1 hazelnut ganache. Both meals were tasty, well presented, and appropriately portioned. So far the best meals of our holiday in Tasmania. A true gem of a place to eat in cradle Mountain. Notably they also have a wide selection of Tasmanian whiskies which I did not indulge in. Bookings are essential and I would highly recommend Hellyers and return on a future visit.

Outstanding food by the chef. Awesome service by the crew. We love everything we ordered and swept clean the plates. Food is prepared with passion and heart, we felt it. Nice wines too. Beautiful view of craldle mountain from the restaurant too.

I had a wonderful time here. Staff was friendly and caring and the food was delicious. I appreciated them using materials from local suppliers and that gave me the opportunity to taste steak and wine from local farms. I also want to thank the waiter who lent me power cable to charge my phone otherwise I would not be able to make the payment! Nice dining experience and the view by the window was good too!

enjoyed the dinner at hellyers during our stay in the village! the food was solid, views were amazing and service was memorable (special shoutout to andres!) corn ribs: well cooked and flavorful, good side roasted pumpkin: must try! sticky, sweet, creamy scotch fillet: would skip this next time. wasn’t medium rare and slightly overcooked. lacked the crisp tiramisu: modern take and delicious!

We came here on a whim- booked an hour before- and this restaurant was phenomenal. Not only were the views stunning, but our server was friendly and provided great wine recs (shoutout to ryan!). We enjoyed the Bream Creek Pinot Noir, Wallaby Tortellini, Duck and Corn Ribs. Would come back anytime!!!

Had an amazing dinner here. Staff were knowledgeable, kind, and friendly, guiding me through the menu and various drink options. I ended up going with the wallaby tortellini, the beef scotch fillet (rare) and the chocolate and hazelnut ganache. All were worth trying, delectable, and decadent. It really was a fantastic experience. Their 2020 Charles Reuben fortified Pinot noir was equally worth trying.

We had a fantastic dinner here after starting with Tasmanian Quail recommended by the young guy who served our table (not sure if he is manager. Sorry forgot to ask his name). I had lamb shank and my husband had Tasmanian Salmon. All the dishes were so well cooked and delicious. Service could not be better. There was a minor error about our order and the restaurant took the initiative to offer us a discount. It shows the restaurant really treasures its customers. We would definitely come back next time when we visit the cradle mountain again in summer/autumn. Highly recommended!
