The council's agenda said general manager Michael Stretton had a number of conversations with Don Cameron of Lemongrass One.
"The clear intention is to continue to operate the premises as a cafe," it said.
"The proponents have considerable experience in the business as the current operators of MUD at Seaport and former operators of Black Cow Restaurant. Mr Cameron has the skills and expertise required to conduct the business successfully."
The building is owned by the City of Launceston council, and leased to the University of Tasmania. UTAS sub lease the operation of the cafe.
The business closed more than a year ago.
Details of when the cafe will reopen have not been released.
