Midweek night in a small country town so who would think you'd need to book a table. We learnt for the second night. Good food, good service and a friendly team.

A delightful pub / restaurant with excellent food. So good that I visited twice during my stay. The steak was excellent and the accompanying vegetables even better still - recommended

Loved our time staying at the Empire in Deloraine - clean comfortable rooms in an historic building with charm and character. Relaxed friendly family run business with excellent food. Will definitely return!!

We couldn't fault our food. The pate was divine and the serves are generous. We were too full to try the amazing sounding desserts. Nice selection of beer too. Food delivered to nearbyvtables also looked great. Their curries especially and nice to see interesting vego...options. The staff are friendly and professional. We wouldn't hesitate to return on our next Tassie trip.More

Not usually I fell perfectly full after eating at a restaurant but I fell amazing after my chicken tenders the chips and a salad Cooked perfectly and tasted amazing

We stopped at Cycles for coffee. It's a nice place with a pleasant feel and the staff were good. However, our coffees were poorly made and only just drinkable - a let-down for an otherwise pleasing venue.

Great food and service. Welcoming publican. Food was yummy. The cottage pie especially. Good atmosphere during the day and night. Preferable to book. They also serve spiced mulled wine. Bit expensive at $12 per glass but everything is expensive these days.

Stopped in for lunch and both of us had weak coffees and a very anaemic, tasteless pumpkin soup. Very poor quality. We won’t be back.

My friend and I stayed at the Empire, and ate downstairs at their restaurant. It was a busy night (though suspect every night is busy here) so had to wait a little while for a table, but that wasn't a problem. Any suggestion the Empire...is an old-style country pub is blown away by the menu: so many great options to tempt, all served with fresh ingredients and with many with exotic / sophisticated touches. My friend had the seared wallaby tenderloin, which he raved about. I plumped for the glazed eggplant dish, which was good but not the exotic taste experience I had hoped for. But while this dish didn't quite work for me, it was great to see the chef putting up so many adventurous combinations on the menu. Clearly, the local diners love it and are coming back for more.More

Great food at very reasonable prices. Service was terrific and the selection of local beer/wine added to a lovely experience. Music in the lane way next door was cool too.

We ate dinner here mid-week with our 3 year old. It was a busy evening. We certainly had a mixed experience. On one hand, the meals we received were delicious (steak and beef cheek, plus a garlic bread). Based on the food, we gave a...4 star review. However, we both thought the menu was quite expensive. We were really disappointed that there was no dedicated kids menu, just 3 options for "smaller appetites", and these options were also expensive ($17-$18 each). We ordered a bowl of chips as well, however when it arrived, they were sweet potato. Easy mix up, but when corrected, a replacement bowl of chips never arrived. We went to the counter to ask after them and cancel them (as we had already finished our meals by this time). The kind young man behind the counter did, in fact, send a replacement but the waitress (who didn't seem to want to be there) took them to a different table. They were taken off our bill and we were offered free drinks, so the young man handled the situation well. Just a shame.More

Gorgeous and quaint pub . Super friendly owners and family run pub . Dinner was great . Baked Camembert entree was delicious . Mushroom Risotto was cooked perfectly and a large serving . Home made chicken snitty was very tasty and filling. Guinness on tap...and a nice selection of wines.More
