Constitution Dock is the perfect place for yacht-watching, as well as gobbling fresh fish-and-chips from one of the punts (floating fish-and-chips shops) moored on the water. Ask for the daily specials, such as local blue grenadier or trevally, which cost A$7–A$16, or go for some freshly shucked oysters. The city's main restaurant areas include the docks and the streets around Salamanca Place.
Located on Castray Esplanade opposite Princes Wharf, Blue Eye offers up a wide variety of fresh Tasmanian seafood, cooked to perfection. The barbecue Pirates Bay octopus is a highlight, as is the mixed grill, washed down with a cool Tasmanian craft beer or crisp Pinot.
South American food culture has inspired the menu of this eclectic but sophisticated eatery on Hobart's waterfront. Blending fresh Tasmanian produce with centuries of South American flavor refinement, Frank is a lively spot for a reason. An ever-changing cocktail and drinks menu complements the menu.
A small 20-seat neighborhood restaurant tucked away in the back streets of Hobart, Templo celebrates seasonal and locally sourced produce and minimal-intervention wines from small producers. This place is a gem you'll need to book weeks if not months ahead. Superb.
This fish-shape floating chip shop on Constitution Dock is one of the top places in town for an alfresco waterfront fish-and-chips meal.
Featuring a superb range of wines from around the world, this sumptuously decorated Sandy Bay eatery rivals many of the better Chinese restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne. There is a broad menu, ranging from the pricey "candy heart" dried abalone to traditional favorites, such as Me Wah's delicious steamed dumplings; there's also a banquet option. The yum cha (traditional Cantonese tea service) available on weekends at lunchtime is worth the short journey from the city center.
This revolving restaurant atop one of Hobart's tallest buildings (it's also home to the city's casino) has breathtaking views, and the food is equally rewarding. The Rannoch Farm quail breast is a wonderful starter; for a main course, try the Cape Grim Scotch fillet served with Cygnet gourmet mushrooms, bone marrow, cocktail onions, and parsley. Meals here aren't cheap, so you might want to give the blackjack table a try before heading up here.
Urban Greek combines the flavors of the old world with antipodean audacity, all set in a modern space. The variety of seating options includes communal benches, tables for groups, or kitchen-bar placement. A great place for a group booking or a sneaky take-away.
