Mietta's Review
Still going strong after more than half a century and a change of location. The original cafe was home to Launceston's first espresso machine and birth place of the city's cafe culture. Now a lively long room stretching a block, from street to sunny back courtyard. In between, bench seating provides lots of good people watching opportunities. There are some quiet areas perfect for solo coffee drinkers catching up on work, whilst others meet for a chat and tourists try the specials.

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2010
Gourmet Traveller 2010 Australian Restaurant Guide "With 50 years of trading under its belt. Pierre's has a special place in Launceston's restaurant culture. After languishing, unloved, for some time, and a massive refurbishment by its new owners, it's buzzing again (especially at night), serving French-inspired comfort food, complemented by a wine list with some depth"
