Selected entries from the current guide for Hobart.
Hobart, Australia
Set inside a restored 19th-century asylum in New Norfolk, 35 minutes from Hobart, Agrarian Kitchen puts produce-forward cooking at the centre of a wood-fired, ferment-led menu shaped by Chef Rodney Dunn. The setting does real work here: weathered stone, kitchen gardens, and a philosophy rooted in seasonal Tasmanian supply make this one of the more distinctive dining propositions in southern Australia.
Hobart, Australia
At Brooke Street Pier, Aloft puts Tasmanian seasonal produce at the centre of every decision on the plate. Christian Ryan and Glenn Byrnes run a kitchen that covers both omnivore and plant-based diners with equal seriousness, from tempura courgette with pickled fennel to wood ear mushroom dumplings. The waterfront address makes it one of Hobart's more consequential dining stops.
Hobart, Australia
Hobart’s serious dining conversation is increasingly shaped by cold-water seafood, small-farm produce, fermentation, hunting, diving, and a shorter line between cook and source. Analiese Gregory’s anti-restaurant belongs to that context: less a conventional restaurant profile than a lens on Tasmania’s ingredient culture, where the question is not how polished a room can be, but how directly a place can translate its terrain.
Hobart, Australia
Bird in Hand brings Hobart’s winery-restaurant instinct into a wood-fired register: ingredient-led cooking, smoke, and a format that makes sense in a city where producers shape the table as much as chefs do. The appeal is not ceremony; it is the clarity of a kitchen built around fire, wine, and Tasmanian supply lines.
Hobart, Australia
Conservatory Restaurant belongs to Hobart’s quieter South Hobart dining register, where sandstone, garden-city edges and Tasmania’s produce culture matter more than spectacle. The appeal is contextual: a conservatory setting at the base of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, useful for diners who want the city’s ingredient-led side without the waterfront’s louder tourism rhythm.
Hobart, Australia
Cugini Restaurant sits in Bellerive on Hobart's eastern shore, representing the city's quieter tradition of neighbourhood Italian dining away from the waterfront tourist corridor. The address at 38 Cambridge Road places it firmly in suburban territory, where local regulars rather than passing visitors tend to set the tone. For travellers willing to cross the Derwent, it offers a different register of Hobart hospitality.
Hobart, Australia
Don Camillo Restaurant in Sandy Bay brings an Italian dining tradition to one of Hobart's quieter residential precincts, a short drive from the CBD. The address at 5 Magnet Court places it outside the waterfront circuit that draws most visitors, which shapes both the crowd and the pacing. For those willing to plan ahead, it represents a different register of Hobart dining.
Hobart, Australia
Driftwood Restaurant sits at 13 North Terrace in Lauderdale, on Hobart's eastern shore, a suburb that sits outside the tourist circuit but draws a deliberate dining crowd. The restaurant occupies a position in Tasmania's growing tradition of destination dining outside the city centre, where the draw is the table rather than the postcode.
Hobart, Australia
On Macquarie Street in central Hobart, Fico draws a loyal following that returns not for novelty but for consistency, the kind of restaurant where regulars have long since stopped reading the menu. A fixture in Tasmania's tightening fine-dining scene, it sits in the same conversation as the city's most considered Italian-influenced tables, earning its reputation through disciplined repetition rather than reinvention.
Hobart, Australia
Landscape Restaurant & Grill occupies a Hunter Street address at the centre of Hobart's evolving dining corridor, where proximity to Tasmania's farming valleys and wild coastline shapes what ends up on the plate. The setting speaks to a broader shift in Australian fine dining: sourcing transparency as a first principle rather than a marketing footnote. Worth knowing before you go.
Hobart, Australia
South-East Asian cooking on Murray Street in central Hobart, where the flavours of the region, from Vietnamese pho to Thai curries and Indonesian sambals, find a foothold in a city more often associated with Tasmanian produce and European technique. Lost in Asia brings a different register to Hobart's dining scene, one built on the layered spice traditions of multiple South-East Asian cuisines rather than a single national identity.
Hobart, Australia
Omotenashi Hobart occupies a compact address on Elizabeth Street, where the Japanese concept of wholehearted hospitality shapes the pace and purpose of each sitting. The name itself signals intent: a service philosophy built on anticipation rather than transaction. In a city where dining culture increasingly rewards restraint and attention, this is a room worth slowing down for.
Hobart, Australia
Queen Sheba Injera brings East African communal dining to Murray Street in central Hobart, occupying a niche that the city's restaurant scene rarely fills. In a city better known for fine-dining produce temples and European bistros, this is one of the few addresses where injera and shared wot dishes define the format. For travellers eating their way through Tasmania's capital, it represents a deliberate change of register.
Hobart, Australia
Sapa Rose occupies a Harrington Street address in central Hobart, placing it within easy reach of the waterfront dining corridor that has defined the city's restaurant identity over the past decade. The restaurant draws on Vietnamese culinary traditions in a city where South-East Asian cooking remains a smaller, more specialist niche than European formats. For Hobart diners looking beyond the established Italian and modern Australian tier, it represents a distinct alternative.
Hobart, Australia
A Japanese-influenced wine bar on Liverpool Street, Scholé occupies a niche that few Hobart venues attempt: the convergence of live counter preparation, considered natural wine, and Japanese technique. The format rewards those who eat at the bar, where proximity to preparation is the point. In a city still building its fine-casual dining vocabulary, it reads as one of the more deliberate experiments on the current scene.
Hobart, Australia
Templo occupies a compact room on Patrick Street in Hobart's west end, where the kitchen draws heavily on Tasmania's agricultural and coastal supply chains. The cooking sits at the intersection of southern European technique and island-grown produce, placing it firmly within the state's ingredient-led dining movement. It is one of the more considered small-room restaurants operating in the city today.
Hobart, Australia
On Macquarie Street in central Hobart, The Astor Grill occupies a position in one of Australia's most interesting dining cities, where proximity to internationally prominent produce and an increasingly sophisticated restaurant culture have reshaped expectations at every price point. The grill format places it within a category that Hobart does well: confident, produce-led cooking without the tasting-menu formality found elsewhere on the island.
Hobart, Australia
The Hangout Cafe and Restaurant sits on Main Road in Moonah, one of Hobart's more workaday inner suburbs, operating as a neighbourhood spot removed from the CBD dining circuit.
Hobart, Australia
In a city where producer relationships define the serious end of the dining scene, The Tasmanian Juice Press occupies a specific niche within Hobart's growing slate of produce-led venues. Tasmania's agricultural and oceanic larder gives operations like this a distinct regional footing that few mainland equivalents can replicate. Confirmation of current hours and booking arrangements is best handled directly through the venue.
Hobart, Australia
Urban Greek Restaurant on Murray Street brings the structured rhythms of Greek dining culture to central Hobart, where communal sharing, unhurried pacing, and the Mediterranean tradition of the long table translate readily to Tasmania's relaxed hospitality character. The address places it within easy reach of the waterfront dining strip, offering an alternative register to the region's dominant Australian and European fine dining scene.

Hobart, Australia
Ranked 49th on the World's 50 Best Hotels list in 2024, The Tasman occupies two heritage buildings at the centre of Hobart's CBD, an 1840 sandstone structure and a 1940s Art Deco block, connected by a contemporary expansion. At 152 rooms and starting from $226 per night, it sits at the upper end of Hobart's hotel market, with an Italian restaurant, a Deco Lounge, and a craft cocktail bar on site.
Hobart, Australia
On Macquarie Wharf in Hobart's waterfront precinct, MACq 01 occupies a long, wood-paneled heritage building with 114 rooms priced from $295 per night. Particularly sought-after rooms open onto balconies above the working docks, and the property's two bars and restaurant are designed for watching the harbour at dusk rather than competing with it.
Hobart, Australia
A mid-19th-century Regency farmhouse on Davey Street, The Islington Hotel sits between central Hobart and the slopes of Mount Wellington with 11 rooms, resident on-site managers, and interiors that layer original architecture against contemporary additions and an eclectic collection of art and antiques. It operates without the apparatus of a conventional hotel, no lobby desk, no room service, trading those conventions for something closer to informed, personal attention.
Hobart, Australia
A converted jam factory and historic row houses on Hobart's waterfront, The Henry Jones Art Hotel operates as both a 56-room hotel and a working gallery displaying hundreds of works by Tasmanian artists. Rated 91 points by La Liste (2026) and priced from $209 per night, it sits at the point where Australia's industrial heritage meets serious contemporary art programming, with three distinct dining and drinking spaces on-site.
Hobart, Australia
MONA Pavilions sits within the grounds of the Museum of Old and New Art on the Derwent River, offering a lodging experience inseparable from one of Australia's most provocative contemporary art institutions. Michelin Selected in 2025, the property occupies a category of its own in Hobart's accommodation scene, where the museum's galleries, restaurants, and programming function as an extended living room for guests.
Hobart, Australia
Sitting on one of Hobart's most recognisable addresses, Moss Hotel at 39 Salamanca Place holds a Michelin Selected distinction for 2025, placing it in a small cohort of Australian properties recognised by the guide. The location puts guests within walking distance of the waterfront, the Saturday market, and the city's growing cultural precinct. For Hobart, that combination of address, recognition, and design-led positioning is a meaningful marker.

Hobart, Australia
On Salamanca Place, one of Hobart's most visited stretches of sandstone and weekend market bustle, Mary Mary operates as a bar with a serious cocktail program and the kind of address that puts it in direct conversation with the city's better-known drinking rooms. The bar sits at 2a Salamanca Pl, positioning it squarely within the precinct that has anchored Hobart's food and drink identity for decades.
Hobart, Australia
An 18-seat hole-in-the-wall on Elizabeth Street that has become one of Hobart's most-discussed small bar destinations. Since 2019, chef and owner Matt Breen and manager Al Robertson have built a programme that pairs considered bar food with an equally considered drinks list, all within a format that rewards early planning and punishes indecision at the door.
Hobart, Australia
Dier Makr occupies a considered space in Hobart's tightening bar scene, where the cocktail programme draws on Tasmania's produce-led identity rather than mimicking mainland trends. The room rewards slow evenings and unhurried ordering. For visitors building a serious itinerary through the island's food and drink culture, it belongs on the shortlist alongside the city's most credible venues.
Hobart, Australia
Institut Polaire sits on Murray Street in Hobart's central district, positioning itself within a bar scene that has grown considerably more technically focused over the past decade. Among Hobart's craft-forward venues, it occupies the specialist end of the spectrum, where the craft behind the bar takes precedence over volume or spectacle. For a city this size, that level of focus is telling.
Hobart, Australia
On Bathurst Street in central Hobart, the New Sydney Hotel is one of the city's most established neighbourhood pubs, drawing a cross-section of locals who value a no-fuss drink and a familiar room. It sits in a part of town where old-school pub culture and a newer wave of Hobart hospitality coexist, making it a reliable measure of the city's drinking character.
Hobart, Australia
Ti Ama occupies a measured corner of Battery Point's Castray Esplanade, where Hobart's waterfront character meets a bar programme built for deliberate drinking. The address places it within easy reach of Salamanca's busier strip, but the setting reads quieter and more considered. For those tracking Australia's serious cocktail scene beyond the mainland capitals, it warrants attention.

Hobart, Australia
Moorilla Estate sits at Berriedale on the Derwent River, operating as one of Tasmania's oldest and most closely watched wine estates. Plan ahead, the estate draws visitors year-round and combines wine tasting with the MONA museum complex on the same grounds.
Hobart, Australia
Stargazer Wine is a Coal River Valley producer in the Hobart orbit, built around Tasmanian Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir rather than a broad cellar-door portfolio. The experience is intimate and design-led, with a 12-seat communal tasting table overlooking vineyard rows and a guided format that suits travellers who want site, variety and place explained in the same sitting.
