The Red Velvet Lounge

Best Known For

Braised lamb shoulder, barley, kale and salmoriglio.

Classic café fare with a European influence is on the menu at The Red Velvet Lounge on Mary Street in Cygnet. This family-operated Hobart dining destination delivers the best Huon Valley and Tasmanian produce on the table; on sunny days, enjoy your meal in the courtyard under a wisteria-clad pergola, or head indoors to chill in a rustic vibe of recycled timber, suspended globe lighting and potted greenery. Stop in for a breaky of jalapeño and cheddar cornbread with tomatillo relish, avocado and fried egg; or join the lively later crowd for pappardelle with 12-hour beef brisket ragu, horseradish and Reggiano. Pizza lovers devour slices topped with chorizo, peppers, green olive and Manchego, or white anchovies, caper, Kalamata olive and red onion. Finish sweetly with Frangelico affogato.
