Pitzi Pasta Bar

Restaurant

Pitzi is the younger sibling to Fico, one of Hobart’s favourite Italian restaurants. At this pasta bar, the team lets its hair down a little with house-made focaccia, tagliatelle alfredo with truffles and chinotto spritzes.

Restaurant Maria

Restaurant

The sister to fine diner Aloft packs in the same epic view of the Hobart waterfront. The difference? A Mediterranean-inspired menu that’ll transport you to the Aegean coast. Plus, a roving amaro trolley and a cool vinyl soundtrack.

Templo

Restaurant

This rustic 25-seater, set in a former butcher’s shop, is one of Hobart’s top restaurants. The reservations fill up early for its Italian-leaning snacks, elegant house-made pastas and local lo-fi wine list.

Franklin Wharf Restaurant and Bar

Restaurant

Every person in your dining crew is considered here – from coeliacs to young kids. Visit the group-friendly restaurant for woodfired pizzas, pasta and a crowd-fave seafood platter, best enjoyed on the waterfront deck.

Dana Eating House

Restaurant

Order fun cocktails and share-friendly plates like kingfish sashimi and wallaby dumplings, then check your bill – a cut is donated to local charities. That’s how it goes at this buzzy pan-Asian diner.

Omotenashi

Restaurant

Fine dining is rarely more intimate than at this 12-seat Japanese restaurant. The two owner-chefs impress with a degustation of fermented veg, seafood, local Wagyu and delicate pastries, plus imported sakes, local wines and house-made non-alc drinks.

Frank

Restaurant

Seek out this slick and vibrant restaurant for its classic South American cocktails, Argentinian steakhouse classics and plenty of Tasmanian produce. Plus, 180-degree views of Hobart’s waterfront.

Bar Wa Izakaya

Restaurant

This neon-lit bar is inspired by Tokyo’s lively izakaya, where the food is just as important as the drinks. Alongside sakes, Japanese beers, whisky and local wines, find agedashi tofu and a Tasmanian twist on tataki.

Peppina

Restaurant

An Italian chef is behind this 190-seat Italian restaurant, which takes cues from his Nonna’s cooking. The produce is locally sourced, the pasta is made in-house, and the herbs are plucked from the on-site garden. Plus, there’s a 200-strong wine list.

Aloft

Restaurant

Set on the top level of the Brooke Street Pier, this sprawling restaurant has plenty of impressive vantage points. Sit at the bar and watch the owner-chef use Tasmanian ingredients to prepare delicate dishes of oysters, sashimi and wallaby tartare. Or settle into the dining room and take in the views of the mighty River Derwent.

Fico

Restaurant

Fico is the work of Federica Andrisani and Oskar Rossi, two of the country's most exciting young chefs. Their colourful diner in the heart of Hobart is a celebration of Tasmanian produce by way of their Italian and Australian backgrounds. Come for artful plates, exciting wines and a big sense of fun.

Dier Makr

Restaurant

One of Tasmania's essential dining experiences is hidden within a grand grey building near the centre of Hobart. Come for a thrilling degustation that pivots daily, plus characterful wines plucked from the commanding open cellar.
