Pierre's Overview

The award-winning Pierre’s Brasserie & Wine Bar is a classic European restaurant with a modern twist and it’s been feeding Launceston locals for more than half a century. Sold to new management in 2007, Pierre’s has been transformed into an edgy, ultra modern European establishment, but it hasn’t lost its charm. With a mouth-watering selection of traditional Gallic dishes to choose from and a gargantuan display of vintage French wines, this is a dining experience not to be missed. Menu highlights include the cumin salted quail paired with a warm salad of chickpeas, herbs, tomato, Perian feta & pickled cucumber; & the roast chicken Maryland stuffed with apricots, pistachios & orange zest, served with seasonal vegetables & minted yoghurt.

On my recent visit to Launceston I dined at Pierres and was most delighted at the high standard of the restaurant and quality of food in this small North Tasmanian town. The service was faultless and the wine list singularly comprehensive. Almost enough to make me pack up and move to Tasmania.

I have visited here since I was a child & have fond memories of Chocolate Royals as a treat at the end of term & late night suppers after the theatre. I am most impressed that the current owners have retained the original atmosphere in their stunning renovation. This is a delightful place to eat, The food is no longer toasties & milkshakes; it is a sublime dining experience complemented by a great wine list and excellent service. A Launceston icon brought into the twentieth century. Highly recommended

When planning a trip to Launceston recently my husband & I came across rave reviews in both the Sydney Morning Herald and Australian Good Food & Travel Guide. We could not have been more thrilled with our choice of restaurant. The steak tartare rivaled that we've shared in Paris, the duck confit to die for and the Scotch fillet with Cafe de Paris butter simply sublime. Add to that a clever and extensive wine list, superb service and a gorgeous, romantic setting, we knew we'd be back again and again. Congratulations to the owners on having created exactly the kind of experience people want in a night out: stroll through the doors off George Street and you can expect to be transported to a chic European destination - a bistro "en Paris".

The fact that I have had a number of meals at this establishment says it all I guess. I find the evening ambiance in particular to be outstanding. What I really love as well as the food of course is the lighting.The light is focused purely on the food and table setting itself. Dining is extremely intimate, you wouldn't know you had diners or waiters surrounding you, hats off to the architect. Partially mirrored walls coupled with amazing oil paintings add to this fabulous dining experience. Thanks to the owners of Pierres and their great staff for choosing Launceston.

We celebrated a 70th bday with 45 guests. Service, food, setting and decor were faultless! Food was amazing ....guests all raved about Salmon perfectly cooked, Chicken dish was melt in mouth with amazing flavours, Steak...Superb!! Entrees amazing, delicious , flavoursome.. Staff had a friendly happy and "nothing too much trouble" attitude! All complemented perfectly with beautiful Tasmanian Sparkling, and suggested Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blancs. Sarah, Rohan and John have fantastic food and wine knowledge and give wise advice to suit the people dining! Wish we could do it again next week!!
