Stanley Hotel Bistro

The best bistro in Stanley for local Tasmanian flavours

A True Taste of Stanley

Open daily from 12pm to 8pm, the Stanley Hotel Bistro is the go-to place for lunch and dinner in Stanley. Our menu celebrates the very best of Tasmania with fresh seafood, Cape Grim beef, Nichols free-range chicken, and Scottsdale Pork, all sourced from trusted local farmers and fishers.

From paddock-to-plate steaks and freshly shucked oysters to volcanic soil-grown vegetables and sun-ripened berries, every dish showcases the richness of north west Tasmania. Pair your meal with a Tasmanian wine, local craft beer, or a smooth spirit, then finish with a decadent dessert and coffee or liqueur by the fire or on the deck at sunset.

Our seasonal menu changes throughout the year, ensuring you always taste the freshest local produce. Highlights include honey from Blue Hills near Dip Falls, artisan cheese from La Cantara in Smithton, and garden-picked vegetables from Green Hills farm.

Whether you’re after a relaxed lunch, a sunset drink, or a hearty dinner, the Stanley Hotel Bistro offers warm hospitality and unforgettable flavours. With professional service and a seaside setting, it’s no wonder we’re known as the best restaurant in Stanley.

Come hungry, leave delighted, this is eating in Stanley at its finest.

Staying in Stanley for a few nights and decided to go here for dinner with my partner! He had a Parma and I had the Lobster! It was INCREDIBLE. The best I’ve ever had and it was so reasonably priced too! A great spot for dinner with a lovely view from the deck too!

After spending majority of the day at Cradle Mountain, we were certainly looking forward to a great dinner in a warm restaurant. Being walking distance from our accommodation we entered the bar area and were welcomed into the dining area. A warm, well presented restaurant with a variety of dishes to choose from. The food was amazing, complimented with a glass of wine! A stunning view too!

Service and food are great. Looking forward to trying other dishes when next in Stanley. A few more gluten free deserts would be good! Dietary restrictions: A few more gluten free deserts would be good. The berry pavlova roll centre was rather bland - mabe more fruit?
