HAVILAH WINE

Reserved a table for 2. Perfect girls date night. Loved the atmosphere of the place. Small and cozy. Very modern vibes. We sat by the window. Friendly service. The highlight of this evening was the chocolate mouse. Highly recommend. It was so rich and creamy with a touch of praline crunch. A must have! The second highlight was the house sourdough with this lovely whipped lemon butter. It was fresh and so soft. I don’t usually order bread but this exceeded all expectations. Well done team! Unfortunately, would not order the gnocco again as I was expecting a warm bite and it was actually a cold dish, stuffed with cream and too salty with the added cured meat on top and Parmesan. Not a favourite in my books. Same for the tuna. The cumquat overpowered the taste of the delicate tuna. Felt as if two flavours were competing. Overall, it was a great experience. I will for sure be back to try other wonderful dishes. Presentation of all the meals we ordered was amazing and very thoughtful. Thank you again.

Had our last nights dinner here and loved it. We have been to this lovely cosy place many times over the years when we have gone to tassy and it’s just terrific. The food is exceptional and so is their wines. The staff are very pleasant and make you feel very welcome. So if your in Launceston you must try this lovely place.

Great for lovers of natural wine and good food. The small menu was beautifully presented and perfectly executed. The staff are warm, friendly, and know their stuff, making the whole experience even better. Bookings were so easy, no stress at all. 👌🏻🤌🏼✨

We had such a lovely time at Havilah, and really enjoyed the wine tasting. The staff member who took us through our tasting was personable, knowledgeable, and really bright. The vibe is absolutely killer, such a beautiful venue and a great location… could definitely sit here and people watch with a glass of wine for hours. The food was good, but we felt that the pricing was a little unreasonable for the portion sizes. We understand that small businesses need to work so much harder to make ends meet with rising food costs, but a $38 pasta which was a fairly small/medium bowl with no protein felt a little steep. Regardless, such a beautiful venue with truly kind and heartfelt staff. Definitely would recommend to people travelling into Launceston.

Easily a highlight of our two night stay in Launceston. The staff are so warm and welcoming, we sat at the bar both nights and enjoyed some great chats, amazing wine and yummy snacks. The off-list Riesling was pretty special and the snack menu just right👌🏻 plenty of seating inside and out, but yeah, we loved sitting at the bar and grooving to the vinyl, good vibes and a definite recommendation from us ♥️

We held our monthly November dinner meeting at Havilahs private dining room. The room was perfect for our needs, the menu of Chef Jordan was of great variety, quality and quantity with fine wines matched accordingly. The wait staff, especially Sarah, were very attentive to our needs and looked after us splendidly. Can thoroughly recommend as a venue. John - Launceston Beefsteak and Burgundy Club

It was Sunday evening, walked in got a table for two. We shared a hard cheese and had a side of cured meat and a nice chutney, we shared octopus terrine. That was super tasty well balanced with a lemon zest to it. The octopus was cooked to perfection. My friend had 6 natural oysters and loved them :-) The waiters where on the ball, service was fast and attentive. Was about $150 for 2 and we had two glasses of wine each!

Spent our last night in Launceston here, booked in for a wine tasting and stayed on for dinner. Great wines on offer, food excellent and being able to graze while tasting was the best way to go. Both Lily and Keegan (from the winery) knowledgeable and friendly. Judging by the packed house when we were leaving this is a "must go to place", thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
