How We Got Here

Taking Over With Care

This restaurant has been one of Launceston's most talked-about settings for years — built into the cliff face beside a 30-metre waterfall, looking out over the historic ships of the Penny Royal precinct. When the opportunity came to lease the space, we jumped at it.

Sip 'N' Dine Indian Kitchen & Bar is a locally-run hospitality operator bringing a warm, personal style of service to this landmark restaurant. We know guests love this place already — our job is to honour that while adding our own flavour, literally and otherwise.

What To Expect

The Sip 'N' Dine Difference

Same landmark restaurant, now cooking with the flavours we're known for.

Same Room, New Kitchen

The dining room, bar and Waterfall Lounge you know are unchanged — now run by the Sip 'N' Dine team.

Authentic Indian Cuisine

Tandoor classics, slow-cooked curries, biryani and fresh naan — our full menu is live and ready to order.

Banquets & Feasts

Sharing menus for groups and families, from a two-person banquet to a full school group menu.

We didn't just take a lease — we fell for a room with a waterfall in it. Everything else we're building around that.

Where We Are

Inside Penny Royal

Sip 'N' Dine sits within the Penny Royal Launceston precinct — home to cliff walks, ziplines, gold panning and cruises on the historic Brig Tamar. It's an easy walk from the city centre, right on the water.

Come for dinner after a day of adventure next door, or make the meal the whole occasion — either way, we'll have a table ready.
