Cafes & Restaurants

The Cafe and Restaurant in Tasmania page provides links to some of the top cafes and restaurants in Hobart and around Tasmania.

Tasmania's climate makes it a top producer of quality local produce - especially its famous oysters! Many Tasmanian restaurants specialise in dishes that feature the best of fresh produce sourced from local producers, so you can really have a taste of Tasmania.

Tasmania also offers a selection of great wines for all conoisseurs, and many wineries also offer fine dining, so you can relax in the beautiful surrounds of a country winery and enjoy a great meal and some local wine.

From the metropolitan Hobart and Launceston to the regional areas of Tasmania, there are plenty of dining options, offering fresh and interesting ways of preparing Tasmania's famous fresh produce and wines. With so much on offer, the only difficulty is knowing where to start!

Tasmanian Cuisine - http://www.feeandme.com.au/

Morton House at 190 Charles Street is the best known of the secular buildings that face Prince's Square. It appears as quite a large L-shaped structure on Smythe's 1835 map.

Morton House now houses one of Launceston's finest restaurants, Fee & Me. After a great deal of restoration and renovation, the restaurant was opened to the public on 29th of November 1991. Since opening, the restaurant has been nominated for, and received many awards for the quality of its food, service, and wine list.

Her cooking style has evolved using techniques learnt from cuisines and dining experiences around the world. Her menu showcases the best Tasmania has to offer with Peter carefully selecting wines from around the world to complement the food.

East Coast Restaurant - http://www.thebancrestaurant.com.au/

Come and enjoy one of the East Coast’s premium jewels of the ocean at the Banc’s Oyster and Sparkling Night, an opportunity to experience a selection of hot and cold oysters as you have never tried before.

The wine list at The Banc is modest but well chosen and very well priced and there is of course a strong East Coast presence.

John Bailey's cuisine is emphatically regional - he is a great supporter of local producers - 90 per cent of the restaurant's produce is supplied from the East Coast.

373 has already established itself towards the top of the local dining scene and the signs are good that it’s here to stay. The owner/chef, Guy Christoph, and his front-of-house business partner, Jay Patey, bring wide European experience to this, their first restaurant venture.

With the intimate, casually sophisticated space, the linen napery, excellent service and Riedel O-series glassware that flatters any choice from an interesting and well-priced list and you have the ingredients for a memorable dining experience.
