Food from Tasmania

Whether it’s a burger with the lot or a degustation showcasing the fantastic local produce, here is a guide to some of the best (and worst!) restaurants and foods that you can find in our home state of Tasmania.

Richmond market

Farmers and Makers Market | Richmond, Tasmania

January 17, 2015

A few months back I wrote about the ever-growing number of fantastic markets available to us here in Tasmania. It’s time we added another, and this time it’s local! A […]

Venus

Lunch at Venus Lifestyle | Hobart, Tasmania [now closed]

January 15, 2015

It’s been interesting watching the cafe scene evolve over the last ten years we’ve lived in Hobart. It must be a tough gig. Plenty of competition, everyone has access to […]

Shoebox Cafe

Breakfast at Shoebox Cafe | Hobart, Tasmania

January 11, 2015

I can’t say with confidence that this is a fair perspective on Shoebox, so take everything from this point on with a grain of salt. <cue violins…now> I walked in […]

Capital

Lunch at Capital | Hobart, tasmania

January 8, 2015

Fail to plan. Plan to fail! Except we didn’t. Fail that is. The complete opposite in fact! A lunch at Hobart’s newest Italian restaurant, Capital, was not on the agenda, but […]

Abundance on the Quay

Breakfast at Abundance on the Quay | Hobart, Tasmania

Pilgrim revisited

Pilgrim revisited – Hobart, Tasmania

December 24, 2014

It’s been far too long between proverbial drinks. Feast with your eyes on Pilgrim’s breakfast bounty… My pick of the dishes was the spring peas (of all things!). A sublime […]

Ash and Besters

Ash and Besters, and the man who ate his boots – Hobart, Tasmania [now closed]

December 21, 2014

As fingers rest on leather, eyes are drawn to rainbows. Golden beams refracting, piercing the night, momentarily revealing the denizens within. Glinting maculae hinting at mischief, equal parts innocence and […]

Fishing

Gone fishing – Saltwater River, Tasmania

December 14, 2014

A fantastic day out on the water, successfully challenging my stomach and giving me a better appreciation for the source of our seafood (good bunch of blokes as well!). It’s only when […]

Cambridge Kitchen

Burger Challenge at (Reggie’s!!!) Cambridge Kitchen – Cambridge, Tasmania

December 14, 2014

Do you want to know a secret? We all have our guilty little pleasures, and as a pair of (alleged) adults in our late 30s, it may come as a […]
