Burger Challenge at Jack Greene | Hobart

Would you like a burger with that testosterone? It’s a great venue with a distinctly hipster vibe, but that’s not such burden when it can also cure male-pattern hair loss. For a waterfront venue where quality is so often sacrificed in the pursuit of the dollar, and where preying on understandable tourist ignorance is commonplace, Jack Greene really surprised us both. The food is delicious, the service friendly and the location simply perfect for a sunny afternoon. The prices are high, but you won’t walk away feeling one kidney lighter.

templo | Hobart

Effortlessly combining the modern brilliance of Franklin with the cosy familiarity of your own backyard on a summer’s day, templo brings to Hobart a much needed window into the best traditions and ingredients of Europe and the Mediterranean.

Luna is the funniest of cats. Never quite sure whether to smooch or to pout, she brought us a lot of smiles during one of our most recent house sitting experiences. Read on to find out Luna’s favourite activities, naughtiest deed, and the nickname she was stuck with over the weekend!

Fuel So Good | Hobart

What is the world coming to when you’re considering a bowl of sprouted quinoa over a double Whopper with cheese?!! The words keep getting stuck in my throat…”It’s healthy, and I liked it!”. I’m sure you will too. This is one of Hobart’s best!

Pancho Villa | Hobart

Considering they come with a back story of burgers, pizza and anti pasto, the team behind Pancho Villa have exceeded all expectations. To be honest, I’m astonished. The standards they have already set, even so early in their life, are supremely high and will be hard to beat. I can only imagine how good Pancho Villa is going to be in a couple of months time with a few more menu tweaks and few thousand hours of service under their belts!

Mandarin Duck | Hobart

Duck is truly a gift from the gods, and the team behind Mandarin Duck know how to treat their produce with the respect it deserves. With the duck alone I would have been happy, yet to find such a satisfying range of dumplings and other small dishes on offer was a welcome surprise, and reason enough to return.

OsteriaOsteria

Osteria at Stefano Lubiana | Hobart

When it comes to Italian food in Hobart, the bar keeps rising higher and higher! From Don Camillo, to Maldini, to Capital, and now Osteria…we’re spoilt for choice, and we haven’t even tried The Italian Pantry or Cultura yet! One fantastic aspect of Osteria is how many options it provides, from a simple wine tasting at their cellar door, to a light meal, to a three course lunch with all the trimmings. The quality of their ingredients is second to none, making the absolute most of their own biodynamic garden, and the seasonal produce for which Tasmania is renowned. We absolutely adored Osteria at Stefano Lubiana and we’re sure you will too!
