Why it's worth checking out
Black Cow Bistro sits on George Street in Launceston, in Tasmania's north. A renowned steakhouse, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality steaks and grill fare — making the most of Tasmania's superb local beef and produce — the kind of accomplished, special-occasion spot that's become a genuine destination for a serious steak dinner.
The appeal is that combination of quality, well-prepared steaks, an excellent wine offering and a relaxed yet polished setting in a convenient central Launceston location, ideal for a celebratory dinner, a special meal or a proper steak feast. A quality steakhouse making the most of Tasmania's renowned produce has real appeal, and Black Cow has clearly earned its loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, wine lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular steakhouse fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a special steak dinner in Launceston.
