Like many previous reviewers, we stumbled upon this lovely little café, when we were out scenic driving. It was well past lunchtime, more like 3pm+, plus, but this was not problem for the friendly staff at Ilk. I am so pleased that we stopped....the food was a treat....fresh, tasty and I'd go back there tomorrow, but we will be heading... More

Ilk is actually not in Launceston, but 18 kilometres north at Rosevears, in the West Tamar wine region. We pass it often, saying we must try it out. The parking area is always full so we felt it must be good food with plenty of repeat clientele. We finally stopped for lunch the other day. The menu isn't expansive but... More

A cute little cafe 20 minutes out of launceston. The view is stunning and directly facing the water, the staff were extremely accommodating and were happy to tell us about places to visit. I had the apricot and pear muffin which was to die for and my wife had the bacon and egg sandwich which came with tomato relish and... More

After ready the glowing reviews for Ilk Cafe we decided to give it a go for breakfast and it really lived up to our expectations!!! The food was faultless- we had the bacon and egg sandwich & the muffin of the day. I had the dark hot chocolate which was outstanding & my husband's coffee hit the mark as well.... More

Have visited Ilk on four separate occasions while out for drives. Usually just have a drink and cake or a muffin. Muffins/cakes are always delicious. Coffee is good. Owner is helpful and friendly as is the staff.

Our third time here - and again we haven't been disappointed. The coffee and muffins we were planning to have became coffee and lunch once we checked out the menu: smoked chicken parcel with quinoa salad and toasted pita with ham, tomato, cheese and same salad. Both excellent. If you don't want to be bothered heading into Launceston then this... More

I recently discovered this great little cafe just outside Launceston. Beautiful location with magnificent views, friendly staff, lovely food, and piping hot coffee. Comfy renovated interior with all sorts of extras like knee rugs and antique books. On a warm afternoon, we enjoyed an outdoor table which offered 180 degree river views, and there was very little traffic to spoil... More

We stumbled across this delightful spot, welcomed by lovely ladies. The meals, service, location all a big surprise. A little treasure, not fancy on the outside but inside is full of homemade goodies. Perfect for family, friends or just the two of you. With a view too. So lovely. Thank you Ilk.

One of our favourite places for breakfast. Chef/Owner Sam does a great job. We are always well taken care of, the service is caring and professional and the food is wonderful.

This place is alright, food and drink are OK. There is nothing special except the location which is on the river.
