Driftwood Restaurant

Driftwood Restaurant sits on North Terrace at Lauderdale, a relaxed coastal suburb on the shores near Hobart in southern Tasmania. A well-regarded restaurant in a lovely waterside setting, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, flavour-packed cooking — making the most of the region's renowned fresh produce and seafood — the kind of accomplished spot that's become a genuine favourite for a meal by the water.

The appeal is that combination of accomplished food, a good drinks offering and a beautiful waterfront setting at Lauderdale, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner or a meal with lovely coastal views. With Tasmania's superb produce and seafood and a gorgeous waterside position, Driftwood has clearly won over both locals and visitors.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 450 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a table with the water views, dining with a group, or planning a special meal near Hobart.
