The restaurant is situated a good location where you can enjoy the sea view. And it’s a cozy place. Large coffee is really price worthy. And the restaurant has lots of options to choose from for lunch and dinner. Today we tried their breakfast, and we thought the flavour was a bit too light.

Stopped for lunch. Was a fantastic meal. Full flavours, with excellent service. A great place to enjoy a superb meal and watch the world go by. I enjoyed the Una Black Pork Curry. Never had this dish before, and will definitely be ordering again!

100% the best Nasi Goreng I’ve ever eaten. Such a friendly place, with the cosiest atmosphere. Beautiful owners who could not have been more helpful or kind, they even brought out pencils and colouring in paper for our kids. The view of the river with the maritime theme inside is so cute. Highly recommend the Sri Lankan food and really excited to go back and try more.

We had a lovely visit to Dine Boat Devonport! The Belgian waffle was absolutely divine—perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. The breakfast toast was equally delightful, with fresh ingredients and a hearty, satisfying flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made our experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxed and delicious start to your day!

Moving to Burnie a few months ago and discoved this place, I have immensely impressed with the food and environment! All the staff there are so friendly and the owners are so lovely! They have an amazing selection of Sri Lankan and Western food both. Also it’s a great location to enjoy a meal as well.

We embarked on this gem of a fusion cafe & restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Mersey River. Our timing was perfect as the Spirit of Tasmania ferry passed by, prompting us to sit on the deck to embrace the beautiful ambiance. The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant vibe, with welcoming and efficient staff. We started with the Tempura squid, which was simply incredible. If you enjoy fried calamari, this is a lighter, crispier version that melts in your mouth—absolutely irresistible. For our main courses, we chose the famous Nasi Goreng and the Chef's special Scallop curry. The chef created a delightful seafood feast with a variety of flavours in each dish. The creamy coconut curry scallops were a highlight—Savory and perfect for savouring large sea scallops in a fragrant curry sauce. This aromatic dish is a seafood lover's dream and an absolute must-try. The exotic Nasi Goreng, an Indonesian fried rice, impressed us with its unique dark brown rich caramelized colour. It was served with a sunny-side-up egg (the yolk blending beautifully with the rice), alongside fresh cucumber and a slice of caramelized pineapple. This dish is a delicious blend of flavours that transported us to paradise in just a few bites. To wrap up our meal we ordered the blueberry pavlova. In my opinion, this is the perfect indulgent dessert to finish any meal. A crispy outer shell and a fluffy marshmallow centre, topped with pillows of whipped cream and fresh blueberries. They offer a diverse selection of coffees and an amazing hot chocolate. The menu features various meal options that emphasize fresh, local produce. It's clear why Dineboat receives such high ratings from its customers—we absolutely loved it. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
