Café restaurants in Tasmania

  1. A

    South Hobart Food Store

    A little way out of the city centre – sure – but a trip to the Food Store is well worth the effort. This old shopfront cafe is full of booths, bookish students, brunching friends and kids under the tables.

    Undertone

    Dig it! Underground Undertone is a hip new record bar/cafe attracting wired-for-sound city workers and students looking for something different. The hip young staff make a mean coffee, and serve a small but tasty section of salads, frittatas, toasted sandwiches, rolls and gluten-free cakes.

    Kit Kat Cafe

    This welcoming café offers hungry arrivals off the ferry big bacon-and-egg breakfasts and eat-ins or take­aways including juicy, delicious burgers, fish and chips, wraps and sandwiches. There's a play corner where the little tackers can keep busy while you break your fast.

    La Cuisine

    With Basque house cakes, stuffed sourdough rolls, juicy quiches and sensational salads, La Cuisine dragged the city out of the white-bread culinary quicksand when it opened in the mid-80s – no one in Hobart had seen a croissant before. Also at 108 Collins St ( [tel] 03-6224 2587).

    Sals on the Square

    Part bar, part restaurant and occasional live-music venue, Sals has a takeaway counter on Salamanca Place and a huge prime possie on Salamanca Sq, where the real serious eating gets done. Pastas, risottos, steaks, burgers and salads rule the roost.

    Raincheck Lounge

    This could be Darlinghurst or Fitzroy – Rain Check’s cool Moroccan-hewn room and sidewalk tables see punters sipping coffee, reconstituting over big breakfasts and conversing over impressive Mod Oz dinners.

    Ciuccio

    Formerly Sugo, Ciuccio continues the theme of serious coffee and a menu with Italian leanings (pasta, pizza, risotto, panini) – an excellent all-rounder. Licensed Ciuccio is popular for drinks, too.

    Bombay Café

    Follow your nose into the upbeat, BYO Bombay Café, where the great-value curries arrive thick and fast. Randomly placed bongs, fake flowers and embroidered wall-hangings are a bonus.
