The North Hobart strip of eateries is forever changing. Legends have held residencies there including Mit Zitrone, Ali Akbar, Lickerish, and Solicit. Alongside has been some long running favourites such as Renown Milkbar, Annapurna, Amigos, and Marti Zuccos. Has this charming newcomer got what it takes to make a mark? What hits me at first…

Kraken Fish and Chips
It seemed at first quite an odd step for Chef Toby Cannon to be making the switch from fine dining to opening his own fish ‘n’ chippery, but he’s brought the same elements of quality and freshness to reinvigorate one of the countries favourite meals. It’s a cosy little space, for years known as The…
KALBI
I’m a huge fan of Korean food when it’s done right. My favourite dish of 2016 was a sublime vegetable pancake from Munchies Street Food and previous to that I raved about a little food van doing great things called Seoul Street. Unfortunately Hobart has had little luck when it comes to Korean restaurants with a number shutting…
Bar Wa Izakaya
There’s been a lot of comings and goings on the Elizabeth Street strip of late but perhaps the most talked about was the closure of Pashas and the Japanese restaurant that took it’s place. That restaurant is Bar Wa Izakaya which opened on the 23rd of June amidst a whirlwind of hype. Was this hype…

Another glorious edition of happenings in the Tasmanian hospitality scene! Tasmanian Gourmet Seafoods is hosting a Christmas in July event on the 16th with lunch and dinner bookings still available and great food on offer including some extravagant seafood platters. One of Hobart’s longest running cafes The Realm has sadly closed its doors for the last…
Saigon Express
I’d heard rumours for quite some time of an unassuming takeaway in Claremont serving up the most fantastic and authentic Vietnamese cuisine but never managed to make the journey out there. I was therefore excited to discover that they were moving into the North Hobart restaurant strip a short walk from home and hurriedly went…
Lunch @ Sons of Baja
Dining out with my Sous Chef is an all too rare but greatly enjoyable experience, being able to kick back and relax and have others cook for us. We’re also quite picky and always looking for new things to try. With this in mind Sons of Baja was chosen to celebrate her birthday as we…
