The Local

The Southeast


'Local' is correct at this streetside cafe, which sources all ingredients from Tasmania and as many of these as possible from the Huon Valley. The contemporary city fit-out – all plywood, lemon-yellow and grey – is something of a refreshing anomaly in Huonville. Scan the menu for soups, pies, pasties, muffins, toasted sandwiches, wood-smoked bacon-and-egg rolls and dandelion soy lattes.
