My husband and I were frequent visitors to The Ugly Duck Out on a recent holiday on Tassie's East Coast. The restaurant/cafe is the ideal place for locavores - actually, the whole island is the ideal place for locavores. It's fun to read the TUDO menu and recognise the names of all the farms and wineries you have seen on your travels.

During our stay in Swansea, we had Sunday breakfast and a Friday dinner at TUDO, as well as dropping in occasionally for tea, coffee and ice-cream. All of our food was wonderful and we could taste the difference that extra-fresh ingredients make.

I would highly recommend TUDO if you are staying nearby.

Priding itself on sustainable produce,this cafe suits the eco tourist.Multi award winning,but ultimately a takeaway,the chips,which is all we ate,were touted to be "the best".Thought they were soggy and short on flavour,plus expensive.But the coffee was nice.Overall overpriced for three weary travellers too hungry to care where the potatoes came from

Approximate cost: $10
