The best restaurants Hobart

A restaurant opened in 1979, located in one of the oldest buildings in the port. As soon as you open the door, you enter the world of piracy and old sea lions. To get to the tables, you have to wriggle between the boats, pieces of ship's hull, authentic figureheads, steering wheels, fishing nets and all the navy's arsenal... A varied à la carte menu, specializing in seafood and meat. Enjoy shrimps and oysters, before indulging in desserts such as crème brûlée.

The ideal address if you plan to have a feast. This Mexican restaurant with a cosmopolitan atmosphere offers a wide choice of specialties: guacamole, tacos, machos, quesadillas, grilled meats... You'll have a lot of fun... and a lot of fun: in the evening, the bar turns into a tequila bar, the cocktails flow and the atmosphere warms up: the festive spirits will have the right to some surprises, keep an eye on the library, we won't say more! Great atmosphere if you want to extend the evening.

If you're in the mood for a good seafood platter and the mere idea of an oyster makes your mouth water then think no more and head to the Blue Eye! This restaurant, located at the end of the Salamanca square, will allow you to fill up on iodine: grilled octopus, scallops, squid, oysters, tuna, shrimp... Take to the sea and taste fresh and local products! Prices are reasonable and everything is absolutely delicious. You can choose to sit inside or on the terrace to enjoy the view.

This small restaurant established on one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Hobart's suburbs, Mount Nelson, is in fact the former home of the chief signalman of the nearby Mount Nelson Signal Station. It dates back to 1897. The beautifully prepared dishes are served in the dining room or on the terrace, with a 180-degree view of the bay. When visiting the site outside of lunchtime, it's a good place to stop for coffee, ice cream or pastries.

This Italian restaurant on the corner of Salamanca Place is one of Hobart's best. Spaghetti, risotto, penne, gnocchi are on the menu... but no pizza. A way to distinguish itself from other more traditional restaurants. Meat and fish are however part of the menu. Tiramisu, peach pie, panna cotta and Italian cheeses are announced among the sweets at the end of the meal. Not to mention the espresso! All of this can be enjoyed in an air-conditioned room or on the terrace.

This is one of the lively, affordable restaurants in the inner courtyard of Salamanca Place. We particularly appreciate the atmosphere at weekends, when musicians take their places in the back of the room and the evening gradually comes to life. The menu remains classic (pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads...), with some nice platters to share with friends and a few original dishes (chicken Parmigiana, lamb chops, salmon, Angus...). A place we can only recommend without hesitation.

When you come to Tasmania, it's true that you'd better like to eat seafood! Located on the second floor of the building with a view of the harbor, this restaurant offers fresh and tasty products that smell like the ocean! Specialties include king prawns, local oysters, Tasmanian salmon gravlax, seared scallops, wild fish, Tasmanian squid... In season, you can even taste lobster. The desserts are also delicious. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are also on the menu.

Are you two lovers looking for a meaty dinner? This restaurant, with its chic yet relaxed atmosphere, offers an intimate setting in which to feast on meat cooked to perfection. The cuisine is essentially based on high quality local products, with meats being the star of the menu, but the house also serves seafood. Don't forget to sponge it all down with a good bottle of Australian wine. Friendly and attentive waiters. A gourmet address for a successful romantic date!

Enjoy the view with a good white wine and a plate of oysters or extend your evening with a meal at this friendly restaurant. At first glance, the Glass House looks like a tapas bar where you can share your tasty dishes, but this address has other surprises in store: if you don't feel like choosing, Chef Karen offers to guide you by preparing a surprise menu. You will be able to savor a range of tastes and textures while tasting Tasmania's local and seasonal delights!
