The Panorama Bistro & Bar

The Panorama Bistro & Bar brings relaxed bistro dining to the waterfront at St Helens, with Georges Bay providing the setting. The venue combines an indoor dining room with an outdoor deck, creating a choice between a more settled bistro meal and open-air dining beside the water.

The menu focuses on the produce of Tasmania, including regional ingredients, fresh seafood and locally sourced meats. The cooking follows a modern bistro approach, with seasonal produce helping shape the offering across breakfast, lunch and dinner. Barista-made coffee is available with breakfast, while the bar provides a selection of Tasmanian wines, craft beers and spirits alongside the food.

Breakfast is served à la carte, making the venue suitable for a slower start to the day as well as a casual coffee stop. Lunch on the deck offers an easy waterfront setting, while dinner brings a more considered dining experience overlooking Georges Bay. The atmosphere remains welcoming and unhurried, with the food and location doing most of the work.

Wine is a particular part of the venue's character. A walk-in cellar holds wines from Tasmania, other parts of Australia and international regions, allowing diners to browse before selecting a bottle to accompany a meal. The cellar also gives the venue a point of interest beyond the table, whether the occasion is a meal, a drink or a bottle to take away.

The outdoor deck is dog-friendly, adding flexibility for diners travelling with a pet. Indoors, the bistro provides a comfortable setting for meals in cooler weather or for those who prefer to dine away from the elements. The combination of regional food, a broad drinks selection and a waterfront position makes The Panorama Bistro & Bar a practical choice for visitors exploring Tasmania's East Coast, as well as for local meals in St Helens.
