The Kiln, Ranelagh, Tasmania

The Kiln eatery offers a unique breakfast and lunch dining experience. Housed in a converted barn dating back to 1862, with the addition of the oast house or hop kiln tower that was built in 1911. The restaurant is super charming, great historic ambiance with a modern architectural twist. Located in Ranelagh, in Tasmania's stunning Huon Valley, and just a 3 minute drive from Huonville.  

Pistachio crust and oven roasted pumpkin, tahini custard 
and pomegranate. 
Great dish, after chatting with the chef the Jap pumpkin was roasted but not caramelised, the tahini was loosened with apple juice and then you can add some honey or maple syrup for sweetness to cut through the bitterness of the tahini.
They used honey and to me it was just a bit too sweet a style of honey or to much, so maybe try the maple syrup.



8 hour Cuban pork Mojo Marinade, Pulled Pork, Crackle Crumb
and pickled red onion. Never heard of Mojo so googled to find out - This signature marinade of Cuba, pronounced "MO HO", is just a mix of some citrus juice, fresh onion and garlic with some herbs and olive oil. This is one marinade that you will find in every Cuban household, though you will likely find each family has their own little variation. For example, some use olive oil, some don't depending on how fatty the meat is.


To finish we enjoyed the Apple Tarte Tatin



 

To go with desert we sipped a cheeky little Eau de Coing which is a French quince liqueur that was just like drinking quince paste! 

All great dishes at this eatery, the food outstanding! the ambiance welcoming yet stimulating and great staff all added to a really good dining experience.
