Huntington Tavern

My husband and I departed Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, and located in the southern part of the state, for Devonport, where we'll be catching the ferry tomorrow evening. We decided to take what can only be referred to as the "scenic route" to northern Tasmania (really quite beautiful), but stopped off for lunch early in our trip at Huntington Tavern.

appetizer: Huon Valley mushrooms, lightly battered and
served with sweet chili and agile dipping sauces

I ordered the chicken schnitzel Mexican nachos, which was
the most un-Mexican thing I've ever eaten, but the chicken
was fantastic, and the fries were also very good. Those are
beans and melted cheese on nachos atop the chicken. I'm
not sure what type of beans, but they were reminiscent of
those beans one finds in Heinz cans.

My husband ordered the roast of the day: pot roast.

Fish Frenzy

I'd heard about Fish Frenzy while researching the Tasmania section of our Australian trip, so we headed there for dinner tonight. We both had the smokey seafood chowder and the blue eye trevalla, although I went with the beer battered option, and we shared some chips as well.

Laneway Café

We took an overnight ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania, and after we disembarked at about 7 a.m. this morning, we picked up our rental car decided to find breakfast. My husband chose the Laneway Café, which turned out to be an excellent choice.

I had the North African Spiced Beans: smoky spiced tomato
sauce beans with fried eggs, tahini yogurt, spring onions,
harissa paste, preserved lemon, and sourdough toast.

I also had a side order of chipolata sausages.

Meanwhile, my husband had the Farmers "Mess": a rustic
omelette with potato, mushroom, roast red capsicum, cheddar,
spinach, on rye toast, with thick-cut bacon.
