Main Road
Binalong Bay
Tasmania 7216
Our first attempt to book a table at Lichen Restaurant didn't work out, we'd left it too late on a late summer Saturday to get a spot and it turned out that a power cut meant that they were going to be late opening, apparently they made it rough in the end though.
We returned on the Sunday to find things humming along smoothly, including the open area of the kitchen with its wood fired pizza oven.
The views across Binalong Bay from our table on the deck were second to none!
The grilled local fish on spinach and a potato nori fritter with ponzu mayo and lemon butter looked great and went down very well.
I had the Bari pizza. The base was super thin in authentic Italian style with the wood oven helping puff up the crust. The prawns had been sliced in half, which given their size made sense and everything came together well.
The service was friendly and speedy, if slightly haphazard at times. With a glass of wine and pale ale the bill came to $83.60 including a 10% service charge, which came as a bit of a surprise. The restaurant is the only option in town and has a superb location, but doesn't rely on those factors alone and is certainly worth a visit.
