Eating Out In Tasmania: Jackman & McRoss
So after trawling through the Salamanca Markets 1.5 times (the 0.5th time was to go back and buy myself a hat), we walked up Kelly’s Steps to the next town, Battery Point.
A gorgeous double shopfront is ever so inviting, with is French cafe style chairs, and gorgeous selection of yummies on offer. You would be silly to just walk past I would think.
It was a fairly rich soup, with full of flavour. I would have liked the sundried tomatoes to be cut into smaller chunks, rather than tossed in whole. With the bread roll, it was an extremely filling lunch. So filling, I couldn’t finish it.
Dad rather enjoyed his trout dish. The spiced black rice being served like a hamburger patty, played tricks on the mind. He commented that the trout was rather juicy, and not dry at all.
I wanted to order this, but Mum had her eye on this right from the start. When you are a blogger, having variety is key. However, darling Mum did let me try it, and my goodness it was amazing. Deliciously tender lamb with all of those flavours combined made for a real treat.
Our waiter was very attentive, given the business of the place. With lots of yummy treats on offer, I would recommend this place to anyone that was heading out to Battery Point (5 minute walk from Salamanca). Prices are $2 more when dining in, but when you get excellent service, it all makes it worth while.

That spiced black rice is interesting! It does look like a hamburger pattie.

I went there last year too! A gorgeous spot. You've captured it so well in your photos. 🙂
Betty @ The Hungry Girl
Such a cute cafe! Hehe I totally understand, before blogging I may have considered ordering the same thing as someone else, but now we must all get something different – for research purposes, of course 😀

that lamb shank pastry has me weak in the knees
and all so reasonably priced!
Conor @ HoldtheBeef
Seems like a bargain!
I hope your Mum picked the shank up by the bone and gnawed into it, hehe.

I only have my eyes on the lamb shank with pastry. Major drool! No wonder both of you wanted to order the same dish!!
