One thing I’ve missed since temporarily being back in Hobart is the availability of Chinese yum cha (or dim sum). We’re not exactly spoilt for choice here in this little town. The only restaurant that came to mind was Sandy Bay’s Me Wah and I wanted to look for other options. After a quick Google search, I … Continue reading

Three Little Ducks, Bellerive Quay, Hobart
Bellerive Quay is becoming quite the destination for foodies, with many new little restaurants and cafes opening over the last few years (Cugini being one of my new favourites). Three Little Ducks is ideally situated with the cafe-front on Cambridge Road, and the back of the restaurant overlooking Bellerive Marina – a spectacular spot on … Continue reading
Dede Indonesian & Thai, North Hobart
Dede Indonesian & Thai (or Dede’s, as it’s often also referred to) in North Hobart is a real crowd-pleaser.

I first visited Dede back when I was about … Continue reading

Roaring Grill is the brainchild of Tony from neighbouring La Porchetta, and I’m sure after so many years serving local Tasmanians and visitors alike that Roaring Grill will be another … Continue reading
Tasman Quartermasters
Popped into Tasman Quartermasters new Elizabeth Street digs this afternoon for a bite to eat with my mum and brother, Matt. It was fairly busy when we arrived, so we were shown to a table upstairs by the window looking out over Elizabeth Street and the Melville Street site of Sunday’s Farm Gate Market. My … Continue reading
