Arrive early and begin with an aperitivo at the bar of Launceston’s most savvy restaurant. There's an up-to-the-moment menu of shared plates, wood-fired pizzas, a formidable wine list and bright interiors. The food is great – think pan-fried gnocchi with leeks, blue cheese and walnuts – and there's a snack menu ($9 to $17) to go with the aperitivi.
