Why it's worth checking out
Rupert & Hound sits on Seaport Boulevard at the lovely Seaport precinct in Launceston, on the waterfront in Tasmania's elegant northern city. A much-loved restaurant, it makes the most of its waterside position — combining quality, flavour-packed cooking with a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting with lovely marina-and-river views, the kind of crowd-pleasing spot that's become a genuine favourite.
The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a lovely waterfront Seaport location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a special dinner, a meal with friends or drinks with lovely views over the marina. The gorgeous waterside setting and a quality offering make it a real draw, and Rupert & Hound has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,500 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table with a water view at the Launceston Seaport.
