Crumb Street Kitchen
Impressive is the sheer energy, the ingenuity and wonderful laid-back, let’s-have-a-go attitude of the young owners, Sian King and Zac Shearer.

Castray Esplanade Food + Wine
The real attraction is Goodwin-Roberts’ food and her use of fresh, seasonal ingredients cooked well and presented without any fashionable fussiness or gimmickry.

Daci and Daci
Some of the tastiest and most reasonably priced bakery and pastry treats in the CBD.

The Source
A most memorable experience - by far the best I’ve had in Tasmania and, for me, among the best ever.

Mu Lan Restaurant
Full, and turning over tables downstairs on a Monday night, Mu Lan is an enjoyable and very welcome addition to the North Hobart strip.

All Thai
This was the freshest, chilli-spiciest and most authentic Thai food I’ve enjoyed in Tasmania.

Jack Greene
The selection of ales, wheat beers, lagers, rauchbiers, porters, stouts, ciders and cyders, perries and kolches is unique and very special.

Hejo’s
It’s two particular Sichuan-influenced dishes, as well as Jo’s smiling service, that sets the restaurant apart and, I feel, deserve to win Hejo’s wider exposure.

Westend Pumphouse
The food actually felt and tasted like dinner, and the ’07 Pierro Mancini Cannonau from Sardinia was the most enjoyable, food-friendliest drop I’ve had in a local restaurant in a long time.

Cugini
I think Italians must be born with an extra gene – a hospitality gene.

Of an evening, the menu expands to include entrees like fried cotechino, white beans and piccalilli, a modernised prawn cocktail and a goat cheese, beetroot and walnut tart plus mains of fresh fish, duck, slow-cooked lamb, grilled wallaby and beef Wellington.

Chillies Indian Restaurant
It was the freshness, complexity and distinctive spicing of the food we had - chicken tikka, onion bhaji, butter chicken, chicken Madrasi and goat curry - that most impressed me.
Published: March 25, 2012
Josef Chromy Restaurant
The wines are top notch and reasonably priced, and the service excellent, friendly and professional.

Italian Pantry
Only a few local eateries go much beyond the pizza and pasta clichés, but one that does is the Italian Pantry.

Prossers on the Beach
The ultimate professional, Michael Prosser has brought a new sense of service, order and hospitality to the floor.
Published: January 11, 2012
Ginger Brown
Like the slightly funky, bohemian atmosphere of the place itself, there’s nothing fussy, tizzed-up or pretentious about any of the food. It's simply good cooking of an intelligently thought out and balanced menu.
Published: January 11, 2012
The Mill on Morrison
In its informality, style of menu and the well-priced beverage selection, The Mill has got the wine bar/tapas concept spot on.
Published: January 11, 2012
Shoebox Cafe
A blending of Asian and Western flavours as bright as the owner's welcoming smile and so fresh that I could almost feel it doing me good.
Published: December 15, 2011
Meadowbank Estate
An exceptionally good French bistro-style celebration of the seasons.
Published: December 15, 2011
Bottega Rotolo and A Common Ground
Two new quality providores have recently opened in Hobart – the huge, mainly Italian Bottega Rotolo and the small, all-Tasmanian A Common Ground.

Pasha’s Cafe and Restaurant
Johnny-come-years-late is not a good position for a food reviewer to be in. But Pasha's was good. Very good, in fact.
Published: September 15, 2011
The New Sydney Hotel
Good food, great staff, 12 beers on tap, some interesting wines at good prices and live music in a real, ungentrified pub chock-full of atmosphere, character and a colourful, mixed and mixed-age crowd.
Published: June 29, 2011
Remi de Provence
A peppery soup, the colour of Provencal sunshine came chock full of white beans, black cabbage and speck accompanied by one of the very best, crunchy-crusted restaurant breads in town.
Published: June 29, 2011
Ethos Eat Drink
Pop in for a heart starter and palate pick-me-up anytime from morning ‘till late, snack your way through the $3 dishes as you explore the wine list, or meander your way through the menu as your appetite and inclination take you.
Published: May 2, 2011
The Stackings, Peppermint Bay
It’s great to see the restaurant’s food and wine once again delivering on the promise held out by Peppermint Bay’s fabulous location and equally fabulous design.

The Brunswick Hotel
It’s good to see the Brunswick given a new lease of life and a modern makeover.
Published: February 9, 2011
Cultura Espresso Bar & Restaurant
Apart from the excellent food, what is it that makes Solo Pasta and Pizza in Sandy Bay one of the most popular of the many similar Italian eateries in town?
Published: February 9, 2011
The Source
As most restaurants do in Europe, Chef Philippe Lebain simply gets the best and most interesting produce he can, from wherever.
Published: January 9, 2011
Cargo Bar Pizza Lounge
There are the usuals like Hawaiian, Margherita, garlic and pepperoni, but what does one make of a hoi sin duck pizza? Or a baby abalone pizza with croutons?
Published: December 7, 2010
Mezethes Greek Taverna
As authentically Greek in style and flavours as you’re likely to get this far from Athens.
Published: December 7, 2010
The Point
A menu perfectly tailored to the restaurant’s mixed regulars, special-occasionalist and tourist market and much better than many that have disappointed at The Point before.
Published: December 7, 2010
Pierre’s on George
The new owners, Sarah and Rohan Birchmore, and designer/consultant chef, Xavier Mouche, have transformed Pierre's into an ultra-stylish bistro with timeless, quintessential, uncomplicated and comforting French fare.

Stillwater was relaunched in August with new partners joining the remaining long-time owners, a new kitchen, new chef, new menus, new food style and an interior remodelling.

Sweet Envy
If you can’t count the street numbers, you’ll find it by the oohs and ahhs of people stopped in their tracks by the window display!

After a couple of less than exciting Thai meals elsewhere around town Infusion reminded me of just how terrific Thai food can be.
Published: October 6, 2010

While always pleasant enough, some recent changes see Grape deserving to take off.

Now with new owners, but the same young chef, Dane Kendal, it joins Wild and Rialto as one of the best dining options on the Central Coast.

A whole lot more than fish 'n chips to tempt your palate on the waterfront!
