As a child I fantasised about finding my own gingerbread house. My dream came true when I discovered Jackman and McRoss. For all Hansel and Gretal fans – this café is for you too.

Situated in the epicentre of Hobart's historic Battery Point, this stylish cafe has all the sugar-coated trimmings of a fairy-tale. It’s a bakery, cakery, noshery and coffee house rolled into one.

I had a salmon and asparagus tart every morning last August. A crunchy and buttery pastry base, layered with local salmon smoked to perfection, decorated with sprigs of crispy asparagus, a sprinkling of capers and drizzled with homemade hollandaise topped with fragrant dill. My friend had the bacon, roast tomato and avocado version. Our hips may have hated us, but our tastebuds forgave us.

Downed with the gourmet state’s best coffee – Jackman and McRoss is a foodie’s mecca. Don't forget to sample all the other delights by taking one away for each day's road trip.
