There's a new food emporium in Campbell Town, just near the Red Bridge. Well, it's new to me, and I loved the atmosphere and the decor that's been created.
The building is all sandstone and the architecture is unmistakably Georgian of the 1840s. It was long known to Tasmanians as an antiques shop and is now named 'The Red Bridge Cafe' in its new incarnation.
The owners have wisely kept all the building's old-fashioned rustic qualities to create a lovely space for the huge range of foodstuffs they are offering. As you walk in the door you are confronted by foodie heaven! And, of course, there's an emphasis on the produce of Tasmania all beautifully displayed - difficult not to treat yourself to so many yummy things.
The surprise for me was complete when I walked through to the rear where an enourmous log fire warms a restaurant area with windows overlooking the river. The view from here takes in the attractive red-brick bridge and the peace and quiet of the river valley.
Open seven days a week, this is the perfect spot to linger over coffee or a light lunch and a lovely place to break your journey along the Heritage Highway.
