Throughout the month of July, the team at The Point Revolving Restaurant are putting on a series of dining events that showcase the very best in French techniques, through Tasmania’s high quality produce. We were fortunate (and thankful!) to be invited by Wrest Point to a pre-event tasting of a selection of the dishes on offer…
Snack time at Samurai Okonomiyaki
If it’s a late night hunger you’re seeking to quell, Samurai Okonomiyaki next to Adelaide’s Central Market may just hit the spot with their own interpretation of Japan’s iconic dish!
Burger Challenge at The Hairy Giraffe Cafe
Margate isn’t exactly right next door for most of us, but the combination of a quirky church interior, delicious food and enthusiastic service should be more than enough to entice a few of you down the Channel Highway to The Hairy Giraffe!
Smolt Kitchen and the Time Lords
Smolt Kitchen is one of those venues that you would be proud to call your ‘local’. We gave them time, and they used to it to great effect. At its heart the food really stands out as something special. And then in support you have a really interesting wine list with clear influences from heavy-hitters Frank and Smolt. If you’re looking for a meal with a difference, and don’t mind forking out for quality, drop by Smolt Kitchen and see what you think!
Pelverata Falls Hike | Tasmania
The hike to Pelverata Falls is the perfect choice for one of those days where you really need to get out of the house and stretch the legs, but aren’t feeling up to a half-day slog. This is one of those walks where we’d strongly recommend that you plan to do it after the rains, because a dry waterfall is simply a cliff right…?
No joke, it’s The Glass House!
The Glass House boldly proclaim their presence as ‘redefining style on Hobart’s waterfront’. Lofty ambitions. While it would be a stretch to claim all the glory with a sensational venue such as Aloft perched atop their broad rafters, they certainly take a lead role! At The Glass House, Style is queen and she reigns supreme!
The Latvian Lunchroom | Adelaide
I don’t know why, but Latvian cuisine doesn’t seem to get the same reaction as French or Italian. What could be more romantic than potatoes, oily herrings, sauerkraut, pitch black rye bread more dense than lead…oh, and did I forget the potatoes? Ah my love, come hither and let me ladle bread soup and cabbage twixt your ruby red lips…
2016 Tasmanian Red Wine Weekend
It’s been far too long between drinks. Literally! Anything involving the consumption of wine is always a much anticipated event, but when it came to the 2016 Tasmanian Red Wine Weekend we were a little gun-shy considering that our last experience at the White Wine Weekend back in 2013 was marred by a combination of lukewarm wines and an unruly mob…
Where are the best restaurants in Hobart??
Two Clowns has been in operation since late 2012, and in that time we’ve reviewed more than 100 restaurants, cafes and burger joints! It’s a shame we haven’t visited more, but our waistlines do deserve a modicum of respect. Whenever we’re put on the spot by someone asking, “Where’s the best place in Hobart for dinner?”, we turn into timid little rabbits, wide-eyed and caught in the headlights. The mind goes completely blank and an awkward silence ensues… To remedy this we’ve trawled through the numerous scores we’ve awarded and pulled together a summary for your edification.
Burger Challenge at the Salamanca Wharf Cafe | Hobart
At Salamanca Wharf Cafe the smiles were plentiful, the service friendly and the food satisfying. The pastries, hot breakfasts and burgers on offer also present what we consider to be pretty good value for the Salamanca precinct. Try them, tell us what you think!
