Tucked away just a hop, skip and a jump from the hustle and bustle of Launceston's CBD, Apricus is more than just a restaurant. Our tranquil estate offers sweeping 180-degree vistas over a serene lake, framed by a rich tapestry of local flora and fauna.
But let's talk about the food—oh, the food! A culinary love letter to Tasmania, our diverse menu stars the island's freshest produce. From crisp greens harvested at dawn to succulent meats and aromatic herbs, each dish is a testament to Tasmanian terroir. To quench your thirst, we've curated an exceptional list of local libations, featuring artisanal beers, wines, ciders and spirits.
We've got the little ones covered too! Our laid-back, pram-friendly atmosphere includes highchairs, a dedicated kids' menu, and even a gaggle of friendly farm animals ready for a feed or a pet. Looking to stretch your legs? Wander along our scenic walking trails and soak in the beauty of our unique setting. And just so you know, breastfeeding mums are not only welcome but celebrated.
At Apricus, we're serving up more than meals; we're offering a slice of Launceston paradise. Come, be our guest.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Apricus means 'sunny, having lots of sunshine, filled by the sun,' and just as much as we need the sun outside, we believe that sunshine is important on the inside too. In 2020, Chef Josh Brown opened Apricus, a cosy spot where good food and family come together. Growing up in a big family, Josh knows the joy of sharing great meals and making lasting memories. That's what Apricus is all about. We want to serve up delicious food that makes you feel good inside, just like a sunny day does. Our staff are friendly, the meals are made with love, and we want every visit to be a special one.
