Chicken & Mushroom Risotto - slightly bland, but otherwise not too cloying as with other risottos. Good button mushrooms and chunky chicken breast. Great flat white to finish off!
All the exhibits are really great here! It's free for everyone too - just leave a donation or buy something. Great for spending a day learning about tassie culture, Antarctica and art.
The Full Larder - really nice eggs Benedict, spicy beans, good bacon and sausage, fresh grilled mushrooms and tomato, really crispy hashbrown. Perfect all day breakfast looking out on to the harbour.
There's 888 on the company logo and they have two cars with the 888 licence number! Good fortune and prosperity indeed.
Look out at the awesome view here while you have a taste of their hand made cheeses and chocolate. Large variety of crops on this farm and organically grown.
Modern new pier; love the common waiting area where you can wait comfortably instead of regular piers where you wait in the cold wind. MONA ferry leaves from here.
It is very windy (~50-60 km/h) and temperature will go down a good 20 deg from Hobart temperature! Pack warm clothing!
The road up may be closed when snow is forecast; do call ahead to check and avoid disappointment. Near the top there is a nice spot to look out on southern Tasmania. We saw a rainbow!
Awesome little place with all Australian animals on display. The keepers are really entertaining and keep you safe when interacting with the animals.
Coffee here rated #85 on Yelp's Top 100 coffees in Aus 2016 - smooth velvety tasting; very good.
Great place for fresh produce staffed by warm, hospitable people who will go out of their way to help you. Awesome.
Yachtie's mixed grill is most popular here - seafood skewers served on a heated stone comes sizzling to your table! Fresh and nicely seasoned seafood.
Stay here for reasonable rates, clean rooms and the awesome view overlooking Hobart! Look at this gorgeous sunrise!
If you enjoy ramen with lots of veggies, kazen is for you. Wonderful stuff to have on a rainy day.
Lunch specials - 11.90 for a main and drink. The stir fried rice noodles with grilled chicken was quite decent. Took shorter than the 20 mins wait to get to me.
Do try to stop the veggie lady from smothering your poor veggies in sauce as she can be over-generous with it.
Lor mee. For $3 only there's lots of ingredients, gravy doesn't turn watery and you can add all the vinegar, chilli and minced garlic you want.
After renovation added a traditional coffee counter so now you can have a bun and coffee/tea to go as breakfast! The shio pan, mushroom ham, raisin cream, are favourites.
Came on a lazy weekday afternoon and there was only one song on the playlist on repeat...
Lobster cream pasta is slightly bland. Ask for a plate of garlic chips to give it a kick! (First plate free, subsequent chargeable at $1.50 per plate)
Head to the back to get Thai food. Pineapple fried rice is fragrant, lots of fresh pineapple bits!
Shark collagen soup worth a try. Good variety of food available here. Like the atmosphere and the friendly staff!
Highlight of the Dragon's Back hike! Enjoy the views on top, then take the easy winding trail back to Cape Collinson for the bus.
The shop is upstairs on 1/F now. Glad I didn't have to queue as the corridor was baking hot.
