Romantic weekends are a time to banish the calorie counter and truly indulge, and when it comes to indulging, no one does it better than Tasmania. From wild abalone and world-class farmed salmon, to leatherwood honey and black truffles, Tasmania is home to some very special ingredients. Saffron is grown extensively, and boutique producers of extra virgin olive oil are plentiful, and even fresh wasabi is grown in Tassie. Being the 'Green State', Tasmania has a strong focus on organic foods and there's astonishing variety when it comes to vegetables, salads, fruit, herbs, milk, yoghurt, cream, eggs, honey, beef, lamb, chicken, olives, beans, seeds and wines. As for cheese, Tasmanians regularly win top awards – King Island anyone?
If food is a big part of your life and your partner is just as special, celebrate both with these Tasmanian restaurants.
