Pierre's restaurant in the heart of Launceston has been an institution for decades. New owners have now remodelled the interior giving it a more contemporary feel and have changed the menu to reflect the food of France. It is a reliable and relaxing venue for breakfast, lunch or dinner.The long, thin space has been attractively decked out in bold red, broken by large food-oriented paintings that line the walls. Table settings are informal and the service relaxed, but the food is quite serious and the wine list traverses Australia and southern Europe (heavily weighted towards Bordeaux). Your meal might include a very tasty steak tartare (served with all the usual condiments) or local mussels cooked in a fine broth or a hearty provincial terrine in the French style or brilliant slices of cured salmon teamed with beetroot, orange and horseradish salsa. This might be followed by a long-cooked neck of lamb or a steak with Café de Paris butter. Recently our meals have been less satisfying with staff less engaged, wines on the list not available and food not as precise as before.
