The Clarendon Arms Hotel in the leafy Tasmanian suburb of Evandale is re-claiming locals and visitors with its heritage listed charm and lively atmosphere. A spacious bar area leads into private dining rooms where one can warm themselves beside a fireplace and gaze upon stained glass windows, made even cosier with wooden floors, dark walls and low ambient lighting, or opt to gather with family and friends in the airy beer garden with live music on Sundays. Deliberate over a menu created from locally sourced produce alongside great share platters, perhaps begin with a twice cooked cheese soufflé with pear and hazelnut salad, before moving onto larger plates of roasted duck breast with pumpkin puree, braised balsamic red cabbage, broccolini and candied walnuts, paired with a local wine.
