Food scene

Local food recommendations from Franklin and the surrounding Huon Valley.
Great little cafe in Franklin town (next door if you’re staying at McEwan’s Green!) and has terrific food, especially vegan options.

Central local pub in Franklin offering beers and cider on tap as well as a large menu of hearty pub food. The burgers and schnitzels are great and the servings are big. If you’re staying at McEwan’s Green, it’s next door to the property so you don't need to worry about driving home.

If you want to book in for a nice sit-down meal, Osteria is our pick in Franklin. They serve Italian cuisine with lots of local ingredients and have a nice wine list too. Run by a super friendly local couple, Osteria is great if you have something to celebrate - we recommend booking ahead. Ph (03) 6204 2706.

Tangaroa Kai is a food truck that is open on the Huonville Esplanade along the river - Friday-Sunday every week, from 11am(ish)-7pm(ish). We think they do the BEST fish & chips we've ever had. There are also picnic and bbq (electric) facilities, children's play equipment and public toilets here at the Esplanade.

An old apple packing shed, built in 1942 and full of character, the Apple Shed is home to Willie Smith’s award wining ciders. They have a wide range of ciders and a delicious menu as well as live music on Friday nights and markets on Saturdays. We recommend calling to book a table if you're planning to eat.

Whenever we're craving Thai food, Ashcraig Farm hits the spot. Authentic and using lots of sustainably grown produce, they offer a terrific eat-in and takeaway menu for dinner. A bit further away from Franklin, Ashcraig Farm is about half an hr drive away - but we think it's definitely worth a visit. This is where we usually take friends and family for a nice dinner out. Call ahead to book a table - 03 6295 1901

We love Cinnamon & Cherry - they have terrific food with a Turkish influence. They do breakfast, lunch (and dessert) with a Turkish slant from Wed to Sat, 10am to 3pm. Cinnamon and Cherry is about 5 mins walk South on our side of the highway.

Frank’s Cider is at the northern end of town. They have some really nice cider and we're told on good authority that they also do good scones. They also have music and comedy events. http://www.frankscider.com.au

Don't miss the monthly Market at Franklin

Held on the last Sunday of each month from 10am until 2pm, the Market at Franklin is held in the beautiful Palais Theatre building along the main street. There's all sorts of fresh produce, jams and preserves, baked goods, plants, bric-a-brac, soaps, etc. Our must-haves are the jams from Pearly Gates (locally produced and the best in our opinion) and the sourdough donuts from Yeastie Beastie. Yum!

After some breakfast?

If you're visiting between Thursday and Sunday, The French Racoon cafe is usually open from 7.30am. It's a popular spot and the owner, Soa, is super friendly and makes great food. Cinnamon and Cherry are also open from 10am on Wednesday to Saturday - they do delicious breakfasts with a Turkish slant. Otherwise, your best bet for a cooked breakfast or cafe is in Huonville. We will usually go to DS Cafe (along the main strip, red building).
