Breakfast daily is just wonderful. Ordering the day before ensures you have the freshest food. Eggs Benedict, big breakfast, pancakes and Bircher muesli were all tried and thoroughly enjoyed. Coffee was difficult across Tassie, however Bruni’s Restaurant nailed it right every time. Seasonal menu kept...small in selections to ensure you get the very best produce and flavours that erupt in your mouth. We only managed dinner once in the restaurant as we’d made bookings with friends and this was our only disappointment. We’d liked to have eaten here every night if we could’ve. Presentation was really well done but the tastes were outstanding. Salt pepper squid entree followed by salmon for me an...
Dinner while it was still daylight (daylight saving!) in a beautiful room, hushed and yet not oppressively so, with a beautiful outlook to the terrace and garden beyond - what a great evening. I give it full marks for atmosphere and ambience. This was assisted by the wonderful staff, who were attentive but not overwhelming or 'false'. The complimentary amuse bouche was excellent, as were our meals. Delicious pork, fish, scallops. The only negatives - the lamb came as cutlets and the fat was thick and inedilble. My friend had it and was disappointed, as it looked like the fat needed to be further rendered to make it edible. This same friend requires gluten free foods, and although grateful fo...
We were staying at Villa Howden as guests for a few nights, therefore ate our three included breakfasts here, and we chose to dine here for two dinners as well. The menu is limited (less is more? , however each meal we had was of exceptional...quality using local Tasmanian produce. Main meals are not cheap, but we thought that the quality of food and service delivered matched the prices charged. The complementary bread and canapés each night were a nice touch. I saw that in another review somebody suggested that the wine was overpriced, however we saw the same bottle we drank with dinner for sale at the airport for more than Villa Howden charged. I think that wines were priced as expected fo...
After deciding to try out this restaurant in Howden, we were pleasantly surprised by our experience. Upon our arrival on a Saturday night, we noticed that there were only a few diners in the bright and tastefully decorated dining area. The spacious tables were not crowded together, which added to the overall ambiance. The high quality of the food reflected the skill of the chef - the salt and pepper squid, which my wife and I shared as an appetizer, was tender and delicious. The highlight of my meal was the perfectly cooked salmon served with lemon laganelle and scallops. The salmon had a crispy skin and simply melted in my mouth. Our friends and my wife enjoyed the porterhouse steaks, which...

beautiful location with thewent view and dining with interior and exterior over a lush garden. many parking spaces and easy to find directly on the channel highway. we were surprised that there were only 2 tables of guests on a Friday evening in the januar. Since...so we were undoubtedly a set menu of three cures with a glass wein $75. between us tried everything offered, and it was fresh and tasty. we were not offered pre- or post-dinner drinks. a very conscientious cook and wait the staff. the villa is charming, spacious and friendly furnished. the cutlery/table settings are not really up to the standard of the villa or cook. would like to return and try a la carte meal sometime, or the hi...
This is part of Villa Howden. It is set in a lovely room with traditional French architecture and high ceilings . It is not large accommodating ten tables . There is a beautiful view of the gardens . We had breakfast twice there and the...food was reasonable . I noticed though there was only one staff member running around which is okay for s few tables , but would have been difficult if all tables were occupied.
We stayed at Villa Howden for six nights and ate at Brunis restaurant four meals! Every meal was faultless and delicious! Staff were friendly, atmosphere was decadent and each experience was delightful!
We had dinner at this restaurant one night during our recent stay at Villa Howden. The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was lovely. We also enjoyed having breakfast there every morning.

I'm glad I saved writing this review for a day I was feeling pretty tops about cheese, as I've had past strong miserly feelings about this location and
The food is too good! having a wonderful meal in the evening, it is hard appreciate the enormous breakfast on offer the following morning.
