According to locals, the key to Hobart cuisine is to seek out anything and everything Tasmanian. Look for restaurants where you'll find culinary fusion of traditional Australian seafood dishes with more exotic flavors. At the beginning of your trip, start with classical Australian food just to get your feet under you. Check out
Flathead Fishmongers & Fish Café, located in the harbor of Hobart and serving great seafood (obviously). Or try one of the best Tasmanian restaurants in town:
Peppermint Bay Restaurant. This lovely eatery also has a great view of the water.
Another fantastic Tasmanian choice is
Monty's on Montpelier. And if you're looking for deliciously fresh seafood, look no further than
Mures Upper Deck. This place not only has great food but offers a stunning view of the sunset during dinner hours. For a more romantic evening, head to
The Source Restaurant, which serves all local foods and produce.
