ORANI Restaurant

ORANI Restaurant rests in Sorell, its dining room looking across a cherry orchard to Iron Creek Bay and Mount Wellington.

Golden sunsets, wide skies and generous Tasmanian hospitality set an easy, unhurried tone. Chef-driven and farmhouse in spirit, the kitchen champions locally sourced produce.

Flavours move from briny freshness to slow-cooked comfort and a charcoal kiss. Start with a Blue Lagoon oyster or calamari and chicken skin skewers - follow with silky pappardelle or melting beef cheek.

From the grill, Scottsdale pork rack or char siu octopus carry a local accent, while rich chowder and sourdough nod to the waters and fields beyond. Dutch Cream mash, seasonal greens and other sides add cosiness, before Orani apple crumble or textures of pear and chocolate sign off sweetly.

Make the scenic drive, bring the family, and linger for sunset - the bay's got a way of stealing time!
