Our Story
Mudbar Launceston's Waterfront Restaurant
Born from a love of great food, genuine hospitality, and the wild, flavourful landscape of Tasmania.
The Story
More Than Fifty Years in the Making
Mudbar began the way the best restaurants always do, with a single-minded belief that food shared with people you care about is one of life's great pleasures. When Don Cameron opened his first kitchen, his town had barely a handful of places to eat. Today, Launceston has over fifty. Mudbar has outlasted them all.
Situated on Seaport Boulevard on the Launceston waterfront, Mudbar brings together the finest Tasmanian produce, Asian-influenced flavours and a genuinely warm, unhurried approach to hospitality. The river is at your shoulder. The food is worth your full attention.
Don's late wife, Mel, shaped the culture that still runs through everything we do. Her guiding principle. "Customer first, every day, in every way", lives on in The Handbook of Mel's Way, and in every interaction from the moment you walk through the door.
"Mudbar is more than a restaurant — it's a journey of passion, resilience, and heartfelt connection with our community."
