Then again perhaps they just don't do vegan food well there and can only be trusted to do well on their specialties. That's why I gave this four stars -- because I get a sense that most of their menu items they probably do well, but there's a few duds on the menu are that are probably not in the chefs wheelhouse.

This is gonna be a weird review…read more Here's the thing: St Albi isn't what I expected at all. I'd seen so many photos of the hip fitout that I had my assumptions about the menu, and those assumptions were way off. What St Albi is, secretly, but far more accessibly for the locals, is a gastropub. The menu is tried and true pub style, fancied up around the edges. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and once my dining pal and I had gotten our heads around this, our meals were awesome. I'd go so far as to say my steak was the best steak I've had in Hobart. Yep, I'm gonna make that call. But having said that, I didn't head to St Albi that night expecting to eat a steak. My friend and I started with an entree and a half each, because we both needed to try the chowder but also another thing each. The chowder was out of this world delicious, and I'm pretty sure it had some sage in it (or just the right combination of other herbs and spices that tricked me into thinking it was sage), but I've been back since just for the chowder and it didn't have quite that same flavour to it. I was a little disappointed, but the chowder is still super, super delicious and comes with an enormous prawn hanging out in it (entertaining but awkward to eat, nobody look at me please). I won mains hands down with my steak, which I forced my friend to try as well (ok I didn't have to force her very hard). I chose the Cox coffee rub for it because I was intrigued. I chose medium rare because that's how steak should be cooked. And I chose some duck fat potatoes and honey brown mushrooms for sides because I couldn't not. Seriously, so good. But so much food. Because this is a gastropub, not a fine dining restaurant. If someone had explained this to me before I went, maybe I wouldn't have had 1.5 entrees before my enormous main, leaving less than zero room for my dessert (yes, even my dessert stomach abandoned me) and giving me actual pains because I was so full (and yet still got most of my sides to take away and devour the following day with some scrambled eggs because I'm a genius). I love you, St. Albi, now that I properly understand you. Maybe next time I'll know how to leave room for one of your desserts?

YEEHAW (YES I WENT…read moreTHERE) I first heard rumblings of a glorious little cafe serving all forms of Americana on a plate, but for this CBD Snob the location threw a spanner in the works of my visiting plans. Yes, Moonah's only ten minutes down the highway but for a Tasmanian... it's a whole TEN MINUTES down the highway!? Sigh. I finally pencilled in a visit en route north last month, and I've now been twice in two months so that should tell you that it's pretty darn good. My first order was the Reuben, because if somewhere's got a Reuben on their menu then it needs to be taken for a run. Yes, very good. Not too shabby at all. I WILL shove that Reuben and a bunch of waffle fries into my mouth, thank you. On my return visit I tried a similar feat with the Cubano and ended up having to take half of it away with me. Defeated! DEFEATED BY A SANDWICH! (It wasn't quiiiiiite as tasty as the Reuben but it got pretty close.) I'm all for the sandwiches but the waffle fries haven't really won me over... I want to like them, but they taste a little too much like cardboard for me to be able to embrace them. Plus I made the mistake of taking some away with the other half of my sandwich and cold waffle fries are super unpleasant (but so are all cold fries, right? Blech). STILL, the sandwiches are good enough for a return visit, and the service is really sweet and cheerful! Plus last time I was in, the cook poked his head out of the kitchen for a chat with another guest and holy dooley, if that wasn't a legitimate accent from the US of A he was sporting then my ears are out of whack. Don't mess with Texas, man. Get stuck into this menu. Open for lunch Tuesday to Saturday, dinner Thursday to Saturday, and breakfast on Fridays and Saturdays. I'd advise to make a reservation if you're wanting to dine in for dinner, because it's a pretty small space, but the two times I've been for lunch there's been plenty of room.

I have to say that I am a big fan of this lovely little restaurant. When we went a few years ago…read moreour experience wasn't so good but fortunately we gave it another chance and I can't speak more highly of it. The food, particularly lunch, is absolutely lovely. Terrific quality and consistency. The owners (Mark and Ruth, I think?) are delightful and very welcoming - particularly Mark. My favourites in the lunch menu are the crispy skin duck, scallops, and fish (usually Blue Eye Trevalla) and chips. everything is fresh and served with either seasonal vegetables or really fresh salad. And I mean fresh salad. There is nothing worse than going into a restaurant where the side salad is limp as if it's been sitting around in the fridge waiting for plating. I understand their speciality is breakfast which we haven't tried. But importantly they have great coffee too! Worth a visit.

Belles, you are on the wrong side of town for how excellent you are and Eastern Shore folk are not giving you the appreciation that you soundly deserve. Or maybe that's just lunch times? I honestly hope so. Belles describe their menu as Asian-inspired American style food and at first I scratched my head a little, but now that I've been there, I can't disagree. The cauliflower nuggets came with a satay dipping sauce, for heck's sake! And it was perfect! I'm normally all for a burger but I couldn't help myself from ordering two snack plates as my main, because those two snack plates were already-mentioned cauli nugs and chipotle mac and cheese, perhaps my Achilles heel of menu items... I also got a spritz to drink made with Okar, which is Aussie distillery Applewood's take on Campari. So good, so good. The dining spaces are airy and lovely, some booths, some stools, and an open kitchen. The back of the restaurant looks out over Bellerive boardwalk and really the only thing missing here is outside dining on the boardwalk side, because summery days shoving Belles burgers in your faces on the boardwalk would be DIVINE. I'm already such a fan of Belles that I'm confident I'll be dragged over to the Eastern Shore to make my way through the menu more often. And I actually can't wait.
