Jackman and McRoss Bakery in New Town is located next to an old sandstone church and an antiquarian store. This is an excellent little café-bakery located only a 5 minute drive away from the cottage, en route to the Hobart CBD, making it a wonderful choice for breakfast or brunch. Try their popular spinach, caramelised onion and tomato tart, or the goat’s cheese, basil, sundried tomato, and caramelised onion tart. Or if you’re in the mood for something sweet, a strawberry and pistachio tart.

Bento Box is a wonderfully modern Japanese restaurant; this is one of two locations, the other being in the Hobart CBD. As is typical of Japanese aesthetics, the lack of exaggeration or pretence found inside is reflected in the honest food. You’ll have a simple choice of bento boxes, traditional don, traditional udon, and a selection of sushi and side dishes as optional accompaniment. Their banquet meal, which gives you the option of five hot dishes served with rice and unlimited sushi for around $18.00 per person is a great draw, too.

Myu is not walking distance from our home, but at only a 7 minute drive away it’s impossible for me not to mention this delightful little restaurant. In an inconspicuous location in a residential suburb of Hobart, Myu is one of Hobart’s best kept secrets. The food is delicious, the portion sizes are generous, and it’s all delightfully affordable. Ingredients are locally sourced whenever possible, and care is placed into everything – for instance, their glutinous rice is always infused with the flavours of the bamboo leaf wrapping in which it is steamed.
With no advertising, save for the exception of rave reviews in The Mercury newspaper, Myu relies on Facebook and word of mouth for it’s patronage, and it’s continued success is a testament to the brilliance of this delightful little Malaysian-Chinese restaurant.

Salt Café Restaurant brings upscale city dining to the Hobart suburbs. The menu consists of rather standard options: risotto with shaved parmesan and white truffle oil; garlic and rosemary lamb rump; and porterhouse with rustic mash and red wine jus. While the menu seems rather pedestrian, the food is always tremendously good. They also serve a selection of boutique beers from throughout Australia.
Salt Café Restaurant’s bakery selection is also delightful, and includes their homemade cherry ripe slice, macarons, and white or dark chocolate truffle cake.

Tucked away in an alleyway in Moonah, the Kawasemi Japanese Tea House is a hidden gem. It reminds me of the kind of place you find in the backstreets of Tokyo. You can expect authentic Japanese cuisine and generous portion sizes – all at a reasonable price.

Raw elegance is a quite perfect description for Franklin. Housed in a dreamy old art deco building in downtown Hobart, its fiercely industrial setting reflects the restaurant’s penchant for minimal intervention. With polished concrete floors and blonde-timber tables, the tone is delightfully unpretentious, and the technically competent chef’s oeuvre is a similar combination, a kind of spare, luxury, Nordic tundra cuisine (unsurprising considering this is Tasmania and we have pescetarian inclinations). Stripping food back to its raw components and revealing their interesting flavors, Franklin’s menu is something to be appreciated by the discerning diner. From steamed, lichen-crusted periwinkles in the shell, to the tender seared pieces of roasted octopus, the salt levels perfectly balanced for the palate, with smoked paprika, oil, and fronds of wild fennel judiciously added to provide a green/anaise touch that is unexpectedly clever, the menu is truly intriguing. Dishes, such as their braise of tiny calamari dice with borlotti, in a rich butter crab sauce, leavened with broccoli blossoms, buds, tender stems and charred brassica, are all presented in superb, solid crockery that reinforces that quality/subtlety message. In short, this place is brilliant and a must for those who want an evening of Tasmanian terrior.

Little Missy Patisserie is simply faultless. From their hazelnut praline chocolate gateaux, to the lemon cream torte biscuits, their sticky salted caramel and cinnamon brioche, and the traditional eclairs of hazelnut praline and chocolate crème, who wouldn’t be tempted to pop by?
But it isn’t just their delicious sweet treats. Little Missy Patisserie is wonderful for savory breakfast or lunch options, with their rotating menu including a confit potato, lemon scented kale, and roast garlic tart, their two cheese polenta, with angelina aubergine, wilted lemon kale, Bulgarian feta, and roast red onion, and a breakfast frittatas of roast capsicum, potato, caramelized leek, sheep's cheese, and smoked paprika.

I simply adore this place; it has a certain je ne sais quoi. It’s isolated from the city, situated next to a defunct milk bar on a non-descript corner of a non- descript area of Hobart. Their distinctively retro furnishings and fittings, and their mismatched second hand crockery are charming. The menu isn’t tremendously diverse, but what they serve tastes pretty brilliant.
The buffalo mozzarella and ricotta salata are authentically Italian and the panini are the sort you find in bars around Italy with neat little touches – things like casalinga salame with mozzarella and parsley salsa or mushrooms with agrodolce onions. The parsnip, leek & rye pangrattato - a thick parsnip & leek soup, mild & sweet, with a fragrant olive oil drizzle & a crunchy pangrattato – here is wonderful. Croquet Monsieur and bresoala panini are both highly recommended. The coffee is pretty nice, too.

Daci & Daci is a boulangerie, selling artisan breads - their fig and walnut, and green olive bread are particularly wonderful - and pâtisserie. From their asparagus and gruyere tart, to their opéra gâteaus and hazlenut dacquoise, and their chocolate and raspberry or onion and escargot tarts, Daci & Daci is without question the most charming little French cafe in Salamanca. The lunch menu is also very good, and they do a lovely chicken and leek pie, and turkey and avocado baguette. The bread is all displayed on a nineteenth century French iron baker’s stand, and the antique Gothic style counter with inset marble creates a charming atmosphere for breakfast and lunch, reminiscent of a left bank Parisian café.

Cultura serves some of the best coffee and Italian food around, in a narrow but stylish restaurant with exposed sandstone walls. Their daily specials have included beetroot cured Tasmanian salmon, served with smoked salmon pate', pickled beetroot and fresh wheaten bread, veal cacciatore, a tender cut of veal rib-eye served with parmesan polenta and provincale vegetables, and pork scotch fillet with a gorgonzola butter, pear and fig puree and served with crispy polenta. Everything is always tremendously delicious and the service is consistently amazing. Be sure to also take a look at their ridiculous amazing selection of cakes – seriously, their cakes are pretty fantastic.

Pilgrim is perhaps one of my most favourite places in Hobart. They serve one of the prettiest breakfasts you might ever have: the brioche French toast with lavender Pilgrim pop-pourri and violet anglaise. That is, thin pieces of dried strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries that look exactly like flower petals, and nuts. It’s garnished with real flowers, too.
This slightly industrial café presents its café menu engraved on a block of wood, and isn’t the sort of place you would go to for traditional eggs benedict. Their big breakfast is called, after all, the ‘Hipster Breakfast’, and consists of slow eggs, kassler, and Mexican black beans. The choices are carefully considered, slightly edgy, and exactly what you might be hoping for if you’re looking for something representative of Hobart’s up-and-coming food and arts scene. Be sure to try the single origin cocoa waffles with salted caramel, fresh bananas, and hazelnut cream, too. They’re brilliant!

Room for a Pony is super trendy. Housed in a converted fifties gas station, it’s not at all pretentious, enjoying quirky little industrial embellishments, outdoor seating in the former drive through space, but most wonderfully, it serves up a delicious food. From their breakfast offerings, which include an amazing pumpkin rosti, a potato rosti topped with roasted pumpkins, poached eggs, and burnt butter hollandaise, to their cappelletti chicken liver and pistachio, their duck and leak cannelloni, or the paccheri gurnard, with fresh tomato, olives and basil for dinner, Room for a Pony is a must when in North Hobart.

Raspberry Fool takes its name from an old-fashioned, simple yet elegant dessert, of raspberries and whipped cream. A touch of nostalgia is what Raspberry Fool is all about. Everything is made on premises. They bake their own sourdough bread daily and offer tasty pies including rabbit and bacon, Moroccan lamb and chickpea, broccoli kale and cheese, and Hungarian pork goulash. Their homemade cakes and slices are the stuff of daydreams – sponge rolls and fairy cakes bring back memories of grandma’s delicious baked treats. The café is small and cosy with friendly service and huge windows so you can watch the world go by.

Shopping
The Farm Gate Market is held on the corner of Elizabeth and Melville in the Hobart CBD from 9.00 o’clock in the morning till 1.00 o’clock in the afternoon every Sunday.
It’s perhaps not as well known as Salamanca, but many of Hobart’s best chefs are often spotted provisioning their restaurants there (think the people responsible for places like Garagistes). The organic and locally grown fruit and vegetables there are absolutely brilliant, but you’ll also find excellent seafood (especially oysters), as well as artisan bread, and gourmet cheese. You can pack a suitcase with preserves, honey, and a few unusual products such as paste made of pressed pinot grapes as an accompaniment for cheese plates, and vanilla liquor made from sheep’s milk whey. There are a lot of pop-up breakfast and lunch stalls at Farm Gate too, which I would highly recommend. The food I’ve purchased here is always delicious. (Also, don’t miss out on Tasmanian Chilli Beer, a locally brewed and handcrafted non- alcoholic ginger ale.)

Sightseeing
Located a half an hour drive outside of Hobart, New Norfolk is a charming little town, nestled in amongst a rugged landscape and right on the Derwent River. If you’re driving to Mount Field National Park, this makes for a perfect stop over! It’s filled with all sorts of wonderful and well curated antique stores, homewares stores, and various other little boutiques. I’m particularly fond of Flywheel, a vintage office, stationary, and letterpress studio, and The Drill Hall Emporium, a really lovely antiques store that sources products from as far as Paris.
If wandering around and taking a look at all the beautiful historic buildings in New Norfolk isn’t quite enough for you, pop over to Redlands Estate, where you can explore the beautiful buildings and gardens, including what remains of the Estate’s own cobblestone village, experience their paddock-to-bottle malt whiskey distillery, which is one of only two in the world, the other being in Kilchoman in Scotland, and purchase some of the best sourdough bread in Tasmania at their Old Bakehouse.
For a delicious meal in New Norfolk, pop over to the restaurant to Tynwald. The building itself is beautiful! If you’re interested in going somewhere locals might, and a little more low key, try Cheeky Little Place, which offers the best coffee and treats in town!

Richmond is a picturesque and historic little village. Located a half an hour drive outside of Hobart, it’s the perfect place for a picnic by the bridge, to feed the ducks, or hire a row boat at sunset.
Richmond is quite a charming place, famous for its convict-era Georgian architecture, the stone buildings of which now house a handful of nice cafés and restaurants, your dining options ranging from an afternoon Devonshire tea to fine dining, antique furniture stores, clothing boutiques, independent art galleries, and homeware
stores. I believe that there’s also an old fashioned sweet shop and milk bar there, too.
You’ll also find Pooley Wines at nearby Belmont Lodge, an 1830s Georgina home amongst beautiful gardens, overlooking the historic town. Pop over to the Cellar Door for a tasting, or sit in the gardens with a cheese platter and a glass of wine and take in the surroundings.

Kelly Steps leads from Salamanca to Battery Point, a
charming little suburb with an enduring village atmosphere due to it’s many historic homes dating from the first European settlement of 'Hobart Town'.
Wandering around Battery Point is worthwhile as it's tremendously beautiful – it’s filled with pretty and immaculately restored cottages and mansions. It’s quite picturesque, not simply due to the beautiful buildings, but because you can observe stunning views of the Derwent and Mount Wellington from certain orientations. Here, in long and winding Hampden Road, you'll find lots of lovely independent art galleries, antique stores, vintage and designer clothing boutiques, and cafes and restaurants, including the must visit Jackman and McRoss. You'll also find other wonderful little eateries in Battery Point such as the Jam Jar Lounge, a cafe housed in a converted cottage. Each room has been individually decorated, and the food is absolutely brilliant.

A short distance away from the cottage, in cosmopolitan North Hobart, which is littered with independent art galleries, and is renowned for it’s restaurant strip, you will find the charming old world State Cinema, where you can sit with a glass of champagne in a plush velvet upholstered seat and view international and Australian independent and arthouse films. (It’s the closest thing to Film Forum Hobart has.) From recently released foreign films to classics from the past such as Jean-Luc Godard’s Pierrot le fou, to obscure little documentaries from Tasmanian film makers, you’ll be able to find an eclectic mix at the State Cinema. I believe they’ve also recently opened a rooftop cinema, which will be screening classic films during the warmer months. Their bookstore and café is a wonderful place to pop by, too. The hot chocolates they serve there are divine.

The Georgian sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place are now populated by little independent art galleries, subterranean secondhand bookstores, antique furniture and jewellery stores, eclectic clothing boutiques, which bring together international and Australia designers with exquisite vintage finds, and trendy cafés and restaurants, including the Machine Laundry Café, (which shares its space with a functional laundromat). Salamanca Place also hosts a rather spectacular market every Saturday, although it is a little touristy.
I would highly recommend popping by on a normal day, and enjoy exploring the delicious eateries here, such as Daci and Daci, a French bakery-patisserie-cafe, or the more eclectic Smolt, with it’s Scandinavian-inspired interior, the fabulous cultural offerings, not limited to just the independent galleries, but places such as the Hobart Bookshop and Peacock Theater, or the numerous charming boutiques, such as The Maker.
