Hobart’s interpretation of Australian dining is inseparable from Tasmania itself. The city’s kitchens have immediate access to cool-climate vegetables, orchard fruit, responsibly caught seafood, grass-fed meat and an impressive collection of local cheeses, wines, beers and spirits. Even familiar dishes can feel distinctly regional when they are built around ingredients grown, caught or produced within a few hours of the city.
The best Australian restaurants in Hobart are not confined to one style of service. A meal might mean freshly shucked oysters beside the fishing fleet, a charcoal-grilled steak in historic Salamanca, produce-led brunch supplied by a nearby farm or substantial pub cooking in a nineteenth-century hotel. What connects these venues is a strong sense of place and an ability to let Tasmanian ingredients lead the experience.
This selection covers waterfront restaurants, neighbourhood favourites, heritage pubs and excellent daytime kitchens. Some are ideal for a long dinner, while others are better suited to brunch, lunch or a relaxed afternoon. Together, they provide a broad introduction to contemporary Australian food in and around central Hobart.

Cascade Brewery Bar
Few Hobart dining settings are as recognisably Tasmanian as Cascade Brewery Bar. Located beneath kunanyi/Mount Wellington beside Australia’s oldest operating brewery, the venue combines an imposing historic façade with extensive gardens, a warm interior and a relaxed brewhouse atmosphere. It is an especially appealing destination when the weather permits an outdoor table overlooking the heritage grounds.
The kitchen concentrates on generous Australian bar food shaped around Tasmanian produce. Wood-smoked meats, seafood, burgers and familiar pub dishes are natural partners for Cascade beers and ciders made at the site. This is not a formal restaurant experience; its strength lies in combining substantial food, brewery-fresh drinks and a setting that tells an important part of Hobart’s story. Tours and tastings can also turn lunch into a longer visit.

Dandy Lane Cafe
Hidden inside Collins Court, Dandy Lane Cafe offers one of central Hobart’s most polished casual breakfast and lunch experiences. The small laneway setting feels removed from the surrounding CBD, while friendly service and a broad brunch menu make it suitable for everything from an early coffee to a leisurely weekend meal.
The cooking gives familiar Australian café dishes a more distinctive edge. House-made hollandaise anchors a selection of Benedicts, while the potato and Parmesan rosti brings together crisp potato, greens, poached egg and a choice of substantial accompaniments. Corn fritters, seasonal specials and a Scotch steak sandwich extend the menu into lunch. Thoughtful presentation, confident preparation and consistently praised coffee help Dandy Lane rise above the ordinary city café.

Born In Brunswick
Born In Brunswick brings a creative, restaurant-minded approach to daytime dining in North Hobart. Its light-filled room, communal tables and contemporary design provide an attractive setting, but it is the ambitious all-day menu that has made the venue a lasting local favourite. Although inspired by Melbourne café culture, its cooking remains strongly connected to Tasmanian ingredients.
Expect Australian brunch dishes layered with European and Asian influences rather than a predictable collection of eggs and toast. Tasmanian octopus with scrambled eggs has become a signature, while potato hash, seasonal vegetables, fried chicken and indulgent French toast demonstrate the kitchen’s range. The menu changes, but it regularly uses local produce in combinations that are colourful, generous and carefully balanced. Quality coffee and brisk service complete the experience.

Shipwrights Arms
Known locally as Shippies, Shipwrights Arms is a Battery Point institution with roots stretching back to 1846. Its maritime memorabilia, fireplaces and collection of character-filled rooms preserve the feel of a traditional neighbourhood hotel. Recent improvements have added comfort without stripping away the historic atmosphere that makes the pub memorable.
The bistro serves approachable modern Australian food with an emphasis on Tasmanian seafood and seasonal produce. Diners can move between oysters, scallops and market fish or choose steaks, slow-cooked meat and substantial pub favourites. Lamb shoulder with vegetables and rosemary jus reflects the kitchen’s preference for hearty, recognisable flavours. A strong selection of Tasmanian beer, cider and wine makes Shippies equally suitable for a full meal or a relaxed afternoon near Salamanca.

Pearl + Co
Pearl + Co places diners beside the working fishing fleet at Victoria Dock, giving its seafood-focused menu an immediate connection to its surroundings. Opening windows and a waterfront deck make the most of the outlook, while the bright dining room works well when Hobart’s weather is less cooperative. The atmosphere is polished enough for an occasion without becoming overly formal.
Tasmanian oysters are central to the experience and can be enjoyed naturally or with more adventurous accompaniments. The wider menu can include sashimi, wild-fish ceviche tacos, seafood pasta, abalone and carefully cooked local fish. There are alternatives for diners who do not want seafood, although the ocean remains the clear focus. Tasmanian wine, cider and locally produced spirits reinforce the restaurant’s sense of place.

Pigeon Hole
Pigeon Hole is a small West Hobart café with one of the city’s clearest paddock-to-plate identities. Its owners also operate Weston Farm, allowing fruit, vegetables, herbs, honey and preserves to travel directly from the farm into the kitchen. Even the handmade chairs have a local connection, having been crafted in the Derwent Valley.
The menu responds to the farm’s harvest rather than remaining fixed throughout the year. Soft-baked eggs, house beans, vegetable dishes, pastries and daily specials are supported by preserves, pickles and sauces produced from seasonal ingredients. Anything not grown on the farm is sourced from other local producers where possible. The result is an intimate Australian café experience in which sustainability and provenance can be tasted rather than merely stated.

New Sydney Hotel Restaurant
The New Sydney Hotel is a lively Hobart pub that combines an Irish-influenced drinking culture with generous Australian pub food. Its historic Bathurst Street building, sheltered laneway beer garden and regular live music give it a convivial neighbourhood character. The venue attracts a genuine mix of local regulars and visitors rather than feeling designed exclusively for tourists.
The menu is grounded in familiar, satisfying cooking: burgers, seafood, grilled dishes, schnitzels and other pub standards suited to a casual lunch or dinner. Rotating specials and local ingredients provide variety, while numerous taps carry established favourites and changing craft beers. The kitchen’s reliability, welcoming atmosphere and sustained popularity make the New Sydney particularly useful when a group wants good food, drinks and entertainment in one place.

Ball & Chain Grill
Ball & Chain Grill is a long-established Salamanca restaurant specialising in meat and seafood cooked over a traditional charcoal fire. The building’s sandstone walls and historic details create an unmistakably Hobart setting, while the open grill supplies much of the aroma and energy in the dining room.
Steak is the principal attraction, with the restaurant selecting and ageing beef sourced predominantly from local farms. Charcoal cooking develops a smoky crust while allowing different cuts to retain their individual character. Tasmanian seafood, game, poultry and vegetable dishes broaden the menu, making the restaurant more versatile than a conventional steakhouse. Recent experiences have varied during the busiest periods, so diners seeking a quieter meal may prefer an early sitting.
Address: 87 Salamanca Place, Battery Point TAS 7004

Steaks
Steaks are our specialty – we carefully choose and age our own meat. If you find your steak is not cooked to your liking, please tell us.
Rump 500g
Many diners say this is the tastiest cut of all. It requires a little more work from the jaw because of its density, but the depth of flavour is well worth it
Porterhouse 300g
It has a fine texture, and a taste that is only improved by the open grill
Scotch Fillet 350g
Regarded as “the most flavoursome steak” due to a middle-seam of fat, which melts through grilling—significantly enhancing the flavour and texture of the meat
Eye fillet 200g, 300g
Many will order no other cut because of its tenderness: it is “melt in your mouth” delicious. Diners usually order a sauce to enhance the flavour.
Rib eye on the bone
A large scotch chargrilled on the bone for even more flavour —ask our staff for available sizes

Mures Lower Deck
Mures Lower Deck is one of Hobart’s busiest casual seafood destinations. The family business began in the 1970s and developed a hook-to-plate approach in which its own fishing operations help supply the restaurant. Its Victoria Dock position, counter-style accessibility and broad opening hours make it particularly convenient for families and waterfront visitors.
The menu covers the Tasmanian seafood classics many travellers hope to find in Hobart: fish and chips, scallops, squid, prawns, oysters, chowder and mixed seafood platters. The format is relaxed and portions are generally substantial, with pizza and non-seafood choices available for mixed groups. It is less intimate than several restaurants in this guide, but few venues match its combination of local seafood, harbour atmosphere and all-day accessibility.

Our famous seafood chowder, now in cob form!
Warm up this winter at Mures Lower Deck with a hearty twist on one of our most beloved dishes! From 1 May to 31 August, our signature seafood chowder will be served in a freshly baked local cob loaf, perfect for sharing on a cold Tassie winter day. Comforting, flavourful, and ideal for winter dining on the waterfront.

Drunken Admiral
Drunken Admiral has occupied an old waterfront warehouse since 1979, filling the interior with ship models, nets, barrels, lanterns and maritime curiosities. The immersive decoration makes dinner feel like a visit to the crowded lower deck of an eccentric sailing vessel. It remains one of Hobart’s most recognisable restaurants and reservations are sensible during busy travel periods.
The extensive menu is dominated by Tasmanian seafood, including oysters, scallops, prawns, market fish, chowder and hot-stone preparations. Beef and vegetarian choices provide alternatives, although seafood is the reason to visit. Recent diner experiences have been more mixed than at the higher-ranked venues, particularly regarding noise and consistency, but the combination of local seafood, longevity and theatrical atmosphere continues to give the restaurant a distinctive place in Hobart dining.
Address: 17–19 Hunter Street, Hobart TAS 7000

Final Thoughts
Choosing an Australian restaurant in Hobart depends largely on the experience you want. Cascade Brewery Bar and Shipwrights Arms combine food with considerable local history, while Pearl + Co, Mures Lower Deck and Drunken Admiral concentrate on Tasmania’s maritime identity. Ball & Chain Grill is the natural choice for charcoal-cooked meat, and the New Sydney Hotel offers the warmth and energy of a busy local pub.
For daytime dining, Dandy Lane, Born In Brunswick and Pigeon Hole demonstrate how accomplished Hobart’s café kitchens have become. Their seasonal menus, close relationships with local producers and willingness to reinterpret familiar brunch dishes are every bit as representative of modern Australian cooking as a waterfront seafood platter or pub steak. Whichever style you choose, checking the current menu and reserving ahead for popular dinner services will help make the most of Hobart’s compact but varied dining scene.
