Leonardoz Restaurant Burnie

Leonardoz Restaurant & Cafe is a family-owned venue serving Burnie and the North West from 28 Main Road in Wivenhoe. Established in 2009, it combines restaurant and café dining with ocean views, a relaxed atmosphere and a focus on fresh local produce. The venue also places an emphasis on wine, with staff available to help guests choose a pairing or answer questions about the menu.

The dinner menu covers a broad mix of familiar Australian-style restaurant dishes, share plates, grill options and desserts. Standouts include garlic prawn fettuccine, crispy pork belly bites, slow-braised lamb shank, chicken schnitzel and several chicken parmigiana variations. The grill section features eye fillet, scotch fillet and a bone-in Cape Grim rib eye, each served with a choice of side and sauce. There are also vegetarian and vegan-friendly choices, including roasted cauliflower steak and Korean fried cauliflower, while the menu includes a dedicated children’s selection.

Lunch has its own shorter offering, with options such as popcorn chicken, filled wraps, a crispy fried chicken burger and a steak sandwich. The venue’s website also highlights sushi and chicken schnitzel as part of its North West Coast offering, although the published menu provides more detail on the schnitzel dishes than on sushi. For something sweet, desserts include sticky date pudding, warm chocolate brownie and vanilla pannacotta.

The combination of share plates, family meals, grill dishes and a children’s menu makes Leonardoz suitable for casual group dining as well as a relaxed lunch or dinner. Its ocean-view setting and wine focus may also appeal to couples or diners looking for a slower meal, while the café format gives solo visitors an easy option for a daytime visit. Leonardoz is located in Wivenhoe, just outside Burnie, and bookings can be made through the venue.
