Furneaux Tavern - Shearwater Restaurant-open 7 days a week.

Come with us on an unforgettable dining experience!

We embrace the philosophy of minimising our carbon footprints on Flinders Island and our planet by sourcing local produce in season. Flinders Island is a rare pristine environment which is home to plentiful seafood such as crayfish, scallops and scalefish. The abundance of wildlife on the island has led to the concept of farming wallaby which has resulted in a gourmet product rapidly gaining a reputation for exceptional eating qualities. The other local meat products we source are ‘free range' with minimal intervention between paddock and plate. We can tell you the origins of your meal if you care to ask us. Our chefs complete the Flinders Island food experience for you by creating a magnificent meal from the freshest ingredients you could ever obtain.

We also have a varied wine list and are the main stockists for the local award winning ‘Unavale Vineyard' wines. These are grown here on Flinders Island just 4 kms from the Tavern and the entire winemaking process takes place here. Let us help you match a local wine to complement your dining experience or explore the possibilities yourself.

 

Furneaux Tavern Bar- Flinders Island's only licensed bar and restaurant open 7 days a week.

Come and meet the locals! Enjoy a drink with a number of Flinders Island characters and hear their yarns about island life. Sit in the comfort of the bar and look out over Franklin Sound - one of the island's best views. Watch the fishing boats come in to the wharf and their catch of the day and watch as the town of Lady Barron comes to life when the weekly trading boat arrives.

You may be lucky enough to pick a time when locals sing and play their music - out come the ukeleles, guitars and maybe a banjo. Join in the fun and entertainment. Other less spontaneous entertainment includes live bands or "Music on the Green" during the summer months when the entertaining focus shifts outdoors to take advantage of our wonderful climate.

Bar meals are available 7 days per week using fresh local Flinders Island produce.

 

Take Away Meals
