Stelo at Pierre’s brings Tasmanian produce through a modern Italian lens to one of Launceston’s most historic dining rooms. Led by Lauren and Nathan, Stelo is built around handmade pasta, seasonal produce, generous flavour, thoughtful wine and service that is polished, warm and proudly Tasmanian. Our menu celebrates local growers, fishers and producers from Tasmanian Wagyu and coastal seafood to o
rganically grown vegetables, burrata, sourdough focaccia, gnocchi and tiramisu. Alongside our à la carte menu, a weekly five-course tasting menu reflects what is best, rare or fleeting in the season. Set on George Street, Stelo spans two grand dining rooms, a bar, lounge and private dining space, with locally crafted leather banquettes, Tasmanian oak, crisp linen and a warm, intimate atmosphere. First established in 1956, Pierre’s Café and Brasserie became part of Launceston’s story when it welcomed Australia’s first commercial espresso machine. Seventy years on, Stelo continues that legacy with a modern Italian restaurant that is proudly local, elegant and full of life.
