Furneaux Restaurant & Comptoir

"This restaurant is raved about as one of the best in the area of NE Tasmania. It was quite good, but for the very high price we were not that highly impressed. I couldn't say we would go again but would recommend to anyone in the area to try it for the quite good French cuisine."

"We found this little restaurant enchanting .It is easy to drive by this place and dismiss it .But the locals know a diamond in the rough.We went Tues night and it was fully booked .The staff were attentive without being intrusive they were welcoming and friendly .The food came out in a timely manner and was of the highest quality and cooked to perfection .The head chef came and mingled with the guests to answer any culinary questions and to ensure everything was to their satisfaction.The meals were delicious and the portions generous.All the flavours were perfectly balanced.If you are visiting St Helens this is a must eat.Make sure you book well in advance"

"Fantastic French restaurant in beautiful St Helens. I was lucky to get a table here after someone else has cancelled on the day. So it is worth booking early as it is extremely popular. Great food - enjoyed every dish."

"We booked in advance, though did not receive confirmation - I had to call. They said they would call the day before as well, we did not receive any call. The food is cooked well - chef has skills. There isn't much deviation/imagination, with the result being classics cooked classically. What you get is very good value as well. With regards to the building, the extension is cheaply done and shows (not insulated well, cracks, spiders), and the decor is dated/gauche (that tall chef hat? the paper table cloth on top of the cloth? the crystal lantern is just a bit much). A little bit of polish and this would be a diamond, but for now it remains in the rough."
