Palate - Coles Bay

Early in the morning, we drove to Freycinet Lodge, and on our way to Hobart, we decided to check out and sample the offerings at Saffire Freycinet. The premium suite at Saffire is like a luxurious lounge. It's not your typical five-star hotel, but the artistry of the place is remarkable. The premium suite costs $2,700 per night, and there are only four of them available. On the more affordable side, there are also six deluxe suites to choose from.

It’s a great idea to arrive at Saffire with an empty stomach, as all meals are included. Expect a three-course breakfast and lunch, followed by a seven-course tasting dinner every day. Yes, you heard that right—dinner is a degustation experience every day! Breakfast and lunch are served at the Palate restaurant, which boasts a stunning view of the ride. It’s truly a delightful experience to drive there early for dinner and watch the sun slowly set over the mountains.

**Service: 5 Stars** **Atmosphere: 5 Stars** The service at this restaurant is outstanding, providing attentive and friendly assistance throughout our meal. The atmosphere is equally impressive, creating a warm and inviting space that enhances the dining experience. Highly recommended!

Owned by a federal group that profits from the misfortunes of struggling gamblers to benefit the wealthy—it's almost unbelievable! Food: 1/5 Service: 1/5 Atmosphere: 1/5
