We were walking around Launceston looking for a place to eat when we chanced upon this swanky place. When we got there, we were asked if we had a reservation. We did not. But seeing as there were not many diners, and there was still time, they accommodated us. The price is really steep so we simply ordered two appetizers: a dozen freshly shucked Pacific Oyster and Lemongrass and Gin cured Petuna ocean trout. The oysters were plump, creamy, and sweet. Noting beats fresh oysters drizzled with a bit of lemon to start a meal 🙌🏼 The trout, which is from Petuna, a local Tassie company, is boasted as the steak of the sea. And it did not disappoint. The fish was beautifully marbled and cooked just right to allow the sweet taste of the sea to permeate the flesh of the fish 🐟 For the pièce de résistance: grass fed 40-day aged ribeye on the bone cooked medium rare 🐮 I am at a loss for words. The meat was cooked to perfection and was tender and flavorful. It was perfectly complimented by the truffle bearnaise sauce and the side of potato galette and dijon cream and chives. At first I thought two slabs of ribeye for 5 people will not be enough - but, I forgot just how heavy eating meat is. I just had maybe 3 slices and I was full. I especially enjoyed this meal 😁 This place is a definite must visit when you're in Tassie 🇦🇺😎 -- Black Cow is located at 70 George St., Launceston, Tasmania
