向來都說塔斯曼尼亞的美食多如繁星,比如即捉即食海鮮、優質黑松露菌、皮脆車厘子、極品和牛、營養豐富野生蜜糖等等下刪一萬字……今年11月,聯合國教科文組織終於將朗塞斯頓和塔斯曼尼亞北部列為創意城市網絡(UCCN)中美食範疇的新成員城市,晉身成「創意城市美食之都」(Creative City of Gastronomy),不妨跟著編輯K一起來看看這兩個城市分別有哪些美食精選呢!
朗塞斯頓(Launceston)和塔斯曼尼亞北部(Northern Tasmania)是繼維多利亞州班迪哥(Bendigo)後,第二個澳洲城市和地區獲此國際認證,也是全球第49個「創意城市美食之都」 。獲此銜頭,非只追求食物味道,還要整個地區飲食業都符合入選準則,達致以食物傳遞人與文化和環境的關係,條件包括:
需擁有多元特色和活力的美食社區,擁有歷史悠久餐廳和名廚; 在傳統烹調方法中使用本土食材; 利用現代工業和科技維持製造傳統美食,並令傳統食物製造業得以發展; 擁有舉辦美食節、飲食業頒獎禮、比賽和廣泛認可美食活動的傳統; 尊重環境和推廣本地食材可持續發展。 而朗塞斯頓和塔斯曼尼亞北部地區不只符合上列五大條件而獲選,負責向聯合國申請認證的Launceston Gastronomy(朗塞斯頓的美食學)更相信因為在過去15年間不斷改進飲食文化、提升本地食材質素和推行新餐飲管理文化等色色相關,竟能保留農場到餐桌(paddock-to-plate)的習慣,配合優質款待令食客再三回味,逐令區內餐飲業職位逐漸增加,整個社區能享受豐厚成果,同時亦協助推動聯合國倡議的2030年可持續發展目標(UN2030),令北部地區成為一個可持續發展本地食物的地方。所以,簡單而言,實至名歸。
朗塞斯頓人覺得美食學更泛指當地人與食物關係,接下來,為大家簡介介紹以下數個地方,方便大家認識這個新出爐的「創意城市美食之都」……
精選 Launceston & Northern Tasmania 八大美食地 1. 塔斯曼尼亞人愛逛周六市場:豐收市場 Harvest 豐收市場(Harvest)每逢星期六營業,是個專門販售當地農作物的市場,屢獲選為「Australia’s Outstanding Farmers Market」。塔斯曼尼亞人一直都喜愛駕車來到這裡選購新鮮的煙三文魚、蜂蜜和芝士等食材,然後再步行往附近的卡德奈特峽谷(Cataract Gorge),兼乘坐全球最長的登山吊椅,享受一個舒適且可以親近大自然又有美食作伴的愉快周末。

2. 朗塞斯頓必去人氣河畔餐廳: Stillwater 十個當地人,有十一個總會跟你講:「來到朗塞斯頓,怎能不去Silo河旁的著名餐廳Stillwater走走呢?」這個藏身於1930年代建造的麵粉廠內的餐廳「Stillwater」,可是曾獲選為塔斯曼尼亞州最佳餐廳的美食熱點,餐廳內食材皆從當地農場直送。2018 年加開走型格和簡約路線的酒店Stillwater Seven,只有七間房,設計以黑、白和灰色為主。
Situated in the historic Ritchie’s Mill at the mouth of the Cataract Gorge on the banks of kanamaluka / River Tamar in Launceston, Tasmania, the restaurant glows with the authentic warmth only an 1830s timber building can offer. The casually elegant ambiance ensures our guests feel welcome and comfortable whether enjoying our 6 course evening degustation menu or casual breakfast, a corporate lunch or a coffee with friends… or just a glass of wine after work. One of LauncestonâÂs landmarks, the 1830s flour mill that has housed StillwaterâÂs award-winning restaurant offers more than just one of the best culinary experiences in Tasmania; now you can sleep with us! Stillwater River Cafe overlooks kanamaluka / River Tamar. It offers casual cafe dining during the day, and a formal tone at night.

5. 塔州北部旅遊必去:擁有自家牧廠&芝士廠 Ashgrove Dairy Door & Visitor Centre 食髓知味,可能就是塔斯曼尼亞芝士之味。Ashgrove Dairy Door & Visitor Centre開業於1908年,位於朗塞斯頓和德文港(Devonport)之間,百年基業仍由塔州人100%全資擁有和經營。自家牧廠就在芝士廠旁,由新鮮牛奶製造,完全減少運輸達減碳目標。今年更新開Visitor Centre,除了品嚐芝士,可享用早餐和午餐,成為在塔州北部旅遊必去之地。

7. 食物界鑽石--黑松露園 Tasmanian Truffles 塔斯曼尼亞中北部地區山脈有肥沃土壤,極適合被稱為「食物界鑽石」的黑松露菌生長,1999年澳洲第一顆黑松露菌就在此出生。現在不少松露園已由第二代接手,如位於美麗又歷史悠久的村莊德羅蓮(Deloraine)的Tasmanian Truffles,在黑松露當造的12 月至翌年9月,不止開放農場供參觀和看看如何用狗隻找松露,還會製造黑松露蜜糖、芥末、欖橄油等,包裝精美,送禮自用皆宜。

8. 純淨三文魚和人參場:41° South Tasmania 有部份德羅蓮地區被聯合國教科文組織列為世界荒野遺產(UNESCO World Heritage Area),內有一個純淨三文魚和人參場,由一對德國夫婦於1998年移民過來是開發的。他們發現南半球緯度41° 地域極適合種植人參,決定以自家農場方法經營種植人參和三文魚,避免土地過分開發,更撥出農場約四分之一土地做人工濕地,讓人可感受原始自然生態,所以獲多項環保認證。入內可看如何治養三文魚和種植人參場,品嚐新鮮三文魚和購買人參製品等。
