The Elegance Lounge Seafood Bar & Grill

The Elegance Lounge Seafood Bar & Grill at 161 Rooke Street is a Devonport seafood restaurant with river and ferry-terminal views, and dogs are welcome in its outdoor dining area, so you can make a meal of fresh Tasmanian seafood without leaving the dog behind.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor dining area, which is undercover and gives some shelter from the weather. Staff are friendly and water bowls are typically available on request. It is worth calling ahead on 03 6424 3313 to secure an outdoor table if you are bringing your dog.

Good to know. The kitchen specialises in fresh Tasmanian seafood, with oysters, scallops and crayfish alongside grilled meats. Reviewers single out the seafood chowder, crayfish mornay and seafood curry. The outdoor tables look over the Mersey River and the Spirit of Tasmania ferry.

Getting there. It sits on Rooke Street, close to the Devonport CBD and an easy walk from the waterfront. Street parking is available on Rooke Street, with more public parking nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. The riverside walkway runs alongside for a stroll before or after your meal, and Mersey Bluff, a short drive away, has scenic coastal walking tracks.

Book an outdoor table ahead for lunch or an early dinner, especially in cooler weather when the undercover seating earns its keep. A comfortable option for a longer sit-down meal with a well-behaved dog.
