About Wandering Trout

Take the scenic route to find hidden gem, Wandering Trout on Pioneer Drive in Mole Creek and discover a slow foodies' experience. Step into a dining room exuding rustic charm with polished timber floors, earthy colours and large, shared tables; friendly, professional and down-to-earth service completes an ultra-casual dining experience. Expect indulgent, soul-warming flavours on simple rustic plates, while an evolving menu focuses on rustic, fine dining and the tasting menu bounces between Europe, Asia and the Americas. Start with pan-seared Bass Strait scallops on scallop roe beurre blanc, moving onto tagliatelle with mushrooms and sage beurre noisette, or tender lamb cutlets crumbed with macadamia, sage and mountain pepper, roasted to pink perfection, served with simple rich mash.

Great atmosphere and absolutely fabulous food - one of Tasmania's hidden gems.
Chef Justin is absolutely one of the best chefs we have encountered in Tasmania. You will not leave disappointed by the food or the selection of great tap beer, ciders and spirits which are served up cheerfully by Steph. The rooms in the hotel are well appointed, clean and are very comfortable. We highly recommend this venue.

A Great Local Affair
The food, the music, the brews, the wines, the service; all local, all well done, all different and with an emphasis on quality. Keep up the good work folks. We greatly enjoy having you as our local. For those of you who are from Somewhere Else (or Nowhere Else, local Tasmanian joke), you will like it too. A grand place for a chat, to hear and see something new, to rest a weary head after a long hike or bike.

Lots of Deliciousness and Great Atmosphere
An abundance of delicious food to be paired with in-house beer brewed 5mins up the road. Noticed a strong focus on local supporting local - with all other available drinks being from Tassie!
