Dining FAQ’s

  • Yes. Risby's is Strahan's waterfront restaurant as much as it is the hotel's dining room, and everyone is welcome!

    Dinner is served from 5:30pm nightly, and breakfast from 7:00am to 9:30am each morning.

  • A seasonal celebration of the West Coast and the wider island - ethically raised Tasmanian meats, organic vegetables, and seafood landed close to home, matched with Tasmanian wines, gins and whiskies. The menu shifts with the season and the day's catch, so no two visits are quite the same.

  • We always recommend bookings in advance for dinner, particularly through summer and over weekends.

    Reservations are not required for breakfast. For a table at short notice, a call to us directly is always the best way.

  • Gladly. Let us know of any allergies, intolerances or preferences when you arrive, and our kitchen will do their best to look after you - most dishes can be adapted.

    For more complex dietary needs, or if you have any questions, please get in touch with our team.

  • Risby's received the 2023 Australian Good Food Guide Readers' Choice Regional Award - a recognition we're quietly proud of, and one earned by produce and place as much as by the kitchen. We are also AGFG recommended for 2026.
