5 Best Restaurants in Hobart, Tasmania

Located on Castray Esplanade opposite Princes Wharf, Blue Eye offers up a wide variety of fresh Tasmanian seafood, cooked to perfection. The barbecue Pirates Bay octopus is a highlight, as is the mixed grill, washed down with a cool Tasmanian craft beer or crisp Pinot.

Fico is influenced by the tables of Europe where food and conviviality go hand in hand. They proudly source our produce from local farmers, growers, fishers, and butchers. While the menu is ever-changing it is consistently creative and interesting. A wide selection of wine is on offer.

South American food culture has inspired the menu of this eclectic but sophisticated eatery on Hobart's waterfront. Blending fresh Tasmanian produce with centuries of South American flavor refinement, Frank is a lively spot for a reason. An ever-changing cocktail and drinks menu complements the menu.

This Hobart institution in Battery Point is still a can't-miss spot for the perfectly crafted cup of coffee and delicious house-made goodies including croissants and fruit tarts.

A small 20-seat neighborhood restaurant tucked away in the back streets of Hobart, Templo celebrates seasonal and locally sourced produce and minimal-intervention wines from small producers. This place is a gem you'll need to book weeks if not months ahead. Superb.
