Why it's worth checking out
The Cannery sits in the Old Cannery Market on Imlay Street at Dunalley, the small town that's the gateway to Tasmania's dramatic Tasman Peninsula. Set in a historic former cannery, it's a much-loved restaurant — the kind of characterful, quality spot that makes a rewarding stop on the journey to or from Port Arthur and the peninsula's spectacular coastline.
The appeal is that combination of good food, a charming heritage setting and a handy location at a key point on the Tasman Peninsula route. For travellers exploring the peninsula's lookouts, historic sites and coastline, it's a welcome and well-placed stop, and a genuine destination in its own right.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, opening hours and offerings vary, particularly at a destination spot in a smaller town, so it's worth checking current details before you make the trip — and pairing the visit with the Tasman Peninsula's many attractions to make the most of the day out.
