About Black Cow Bistro
Welcome to Black Cow Bistro, located in the heart of Launceston, Australia. Situated at 70 George Street, our establishment is a must-visit for all food enthusiasts and those seeking a unique dining experience.
At Black Cow Bistro, we pride ourselves on our commitment to natural food systems. Tasmania is renowned for its exceptional produce, and we are proud to be one of the very few places on the planet that grows beef free of artificial hormones and antibiotics. Our cows are grass-fed and free-ranging, ensuring their happiness and resulting in a superior taste. Not only does this approach prioritize the well-being of the animals, but it is also kinder to our planet.
While we are famous for our premium Tasmanian beef, our menu is designed to showcase a range of fresh local produce and seafood. We source much of our ingredients organically, ensuring the highest quality and supporting sustainable farming practices. Each dish is carefully crafted to highlight the natural flavors and textures of our ingredients, creating a culinary experience that is both delicious and memorable.
As you step into our warm and inviting bistro-style atmosphere, you will be greeted by our unique logo, inspired by the ancient artworks found in the Lascaux Caves in France. These paintings, which date back over 17,000 years, serve as a testament to the timeless bond between humans and animals.
The name "Black Cow" pays homage to the Bos Genus, symbolizing the importance of cows in various cultures throughout history. Representing contentedness, fecundity, and the generative powers of nature, the cow embodies qualities such as patience, nourishment, abundance, fertility, and equifinality. Additionally, it serves as an excellent source of protein, further highlighting its significance in our culinary creations.
Whether you are a local or a visitor to Launceston, we invite you to join us at Black Cow Bistro for a dining experience that celebrates the best of Tasmania's natural food systems.

Reviews of Black Cow Bistro
"Was trying to get the M9 steak but I only noticed that it has a minimum order after I seated, since I’m having this dinner by myself, I decided to try something different. A small piece of bone was found in kingfish sashimi, close to the skin. Wagyu rump was too dry, can’t see the fat in between the muscles, wondering if there is any marble scores for this one. The menu says it's slow cooked, then it should produce a steak that is tender and juicy on the inside and golden brown and crust on the outside. See image below, it's not better then a $10 steak and you are letting your kids cook it. If you eat a lot high quality Wagyu beef, you can tell by the colour (more if a white pink colour), distribution of fat and of course the taste of it (full of oil, a buttery taste). It's not tender, not juicy, no taste and no fat. Having a high expectation but getting disappoint. At least, the wine was good. Not good for single person dining, you gotta seat at a small corner, with 1/3 of your table on the aisle. One of staff members was literally taking a group of customers to the inside from my side, with people hitting my table, chair and myself, although there is another clear aisle just beside the middle row tables. To be honest, one of my worst dining experience. Gotta come in May again, just to try out the M9 steak."
"Fantastic service. The scallops were juicy, thick and huge. The kingfish was lovely with a hint of hotness with the wasabi. The sweet potato and pumpkin yoghurt dressing was delicious. The $93 medium rare rib eye perfectly cooked, but was chewy. So disappointed. I am not sure if ordering it medium would of made it more palatable, as the end piece was much easier to chew and swallow. The truffle bernaise was excellent and the potato gratin was perfect."
"Black Cow Bistro has the best steak in Australia, hands-down. We had the Porterhouse New York Cut, and Eye Fillet, along with several side dishes. Each dish was cooked to perfection as we cleaned every morsel off our plates. If you love your steak, you have to have a meal here. We have eaten steaks all around the world and this is easily in the Top 1-2 we have eaten. Service was great as they were attentive to our needs (particularly with 2 little ones). One thing would have been great if the restaurant was lit a tad bit brighter. Atmosphere was very dim and without the battery-operated tea light placed on each table, it would have been way too dark."
"I chose Black Cow to dine in for 4-year anniversary and had absolutely no regrets. The place is super nice and warm. Felt luxurious and fine dining. Staff is professional, so responsive and catering for every of my needs. The dry-aged steak is to die for, strong flavour from dry-aged technique and but still soft. The potato layers were smooth and went well with the sauce. Also, the roasted pumpkin yogurt sauce is super yummy and never get bored. We are not really wine person so I couldn’t get much feedback for the wine. The only downside was the oyster. It didn’t have the flavour and creaminess I expect from a fine dining place. However, we came for the steak so it outweighed this downside. Will come back here for sure to try more dish in the future"
