Good food in a secluded place.
S41°39'04.0"S E145°04'41.3" You have the possibility to prepare your meals in the kitchen of your self-contained cottage. The general store has some basic necessities. Otherwise, the Tannin restaurant is your only option, if you made a reservation to give them enough time to truck in their kitchen supplies.
During our stay in February of 2020, we ordered mushroom risotto served with buttered pine nuts and shaved Parmesan cheese ($30). The taste of the Parmesan cheese dominated the delicate taste of the risotto, but the risotto itself was well prepared. The stewed lamb shank, served on a bed of cauliflower purée, potato fondant and vegetables with mint butter ($35), had enough time in the pan to make the meat nice and tender. Good taste and flavour.
The pan-fried Atlantic salmon, from the salmon farms in Strahan’s Macquarie Harbour, was served on a bed of sweet paprika, rustic gnocchi and with dill hollandaise sauce ($32). This big chunk of salmon was fresh and tasted delicious. Truly a delicious Atlantic salmon near the Pacific/Indian Ocean. Sticky date pudding, served with butterscotch sauce, strawberries and ice cream ($15) was fortunately not so sticky. White Choc Panna Cotta Cup served with biscuit crumb, berry coulis, fresh berries and lemon balm (€15) tasted also fine.
The menu was well explained and the service was attentive. No wrong attitude towards a captive audience without an alternative.
The food was well prepared, large in portions, nicely presented and tasted well. Clearly a level above the Australian pub grub. Good work from the chef in his secluded kitchen. The service was good.
