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.

I was just going to takeaway but it was nice and quiet and there was a ridiculous amount of bench seating, with one little corner spot calling my name, so I ordered a large flat white (drinking coffee to warm up is such a novelty for a Queenslander) and took a seat. I noted both breakfast and lunch menus in the window, with breakfast ending at 11:30am... but then I overheard the beautiful words: "we do an all-day breakfast on weekends". Guuuuuuurl, you know how I roll. The service was really sweet and welcoming, and the coffee was indeed very well made! I regret that I wasn't hungry, but I'll definitely be back to take the menu for a spin. P.S. Every second Friday (or thereabouts) there's a seven-course tasting dinner, so you can bet I'll be back to get in on that some time very soon.

We went to the Agrarian Kitchen after visiting Mona. From one quirky establishment to another,…read moreAgrarian Kitchen has set up in an ex mental asylum and this time we were committed. The fit out was impressive, keeping many of the original ornate freatures and sprucing it up. The dining room had plenty of natural light and a good playlist contributing to a great dining atmosphere. Once seated, it didn't even register what this building previously housed. The service here was impressive from the start, with many of the waitstaff greeting us on the way in and showing genuine enjoyment for the restaurant. They weren't without error, but dealt with the situation well. An incorrect dessert, which cannot entirely be attributed to the waitstaff, as there was two puddings on the menu. This worked out in our favour as we were rewarded with an extra dessert F.O.C. With an emphasis on fresh, seasonal and local ingredients, with staff foraging the restaurant garden for ingredients. Each dish was presented nicely with an emphasis on sharing. The flavours and textures of each dish were very notable. There were plenty of potatoes on offer around town, the Agrarian utilising this ingredient for their potato scallops/cakes, which had a nice crisp batter, and each scallop had a slice of locally sourced potato which they served with a tasty house made tomato sauce. The pear, prosciutto and stracchiatella was beautifully presented, and a nice cool dish for summer. This dish had a great combination of flavours the sweetness of the fruit, saltiness of the prosciutto and creamy texture of the stracchiatella. The farmer's cheese dumpling was a singular pastel yellow in colour, with a souffle like texture with zucchini, olive and parmesan adding a good hit of flavour. The pick of the bunch was the half wood smoked duck to share. The duck itself was tasty enough on its own, the skin so crisp, so good there was none to spare. It was served with a range of condiments to enhance the flavours, including mustard pickled cherries, which happened to be in season and the sweet damson plum sauce, both combined very well with the duck. The was also served sides including the deliciously crunchy roast russet burbank potatoes and an aussie favourite beetroots with shallots in red wine vinegar. After this, we decided to share desserts and the salted honey ice cream and fennel pollen was a simple sophisticated dessert which went perfectly with the Belgrove Rye; a locally distilled craft spirit. A great brunch or lunch venue not to be missed, the restaurant is bright, the service great and the food enticing.

There are so many reasons to like this place, and I do. I very much so do…read more The Agrarian Kitchen is a foodie's delight, a cooking school out in the wilds of southern Tasmania, run by a couple of people who love food. Cooking classes there are wildly expensive (for this pauper), hence I've never actually been able to attend one. But now they've opened the Eatery & Store, I can do one better, and just taste the good stuff (I'm not much of a cook anyway, let's admit it). Another reason I'm already in love is because the Eatery & Store is located within the grounds of Willow Court, previously known as the Royal Derwent Hospital, previously known as New Norfolk Insane Asylum. I actually worked out on the grounds last winter as part of the fourth Dark Mofo festival, when we had an artist in residence in one of the blocks during a long durational piece all weekend. The building where the Eatery & Store is now located was our back of house (and where our supervisor took some much-needed shut eye for an hour here and there). Let's talk about the food, shall we? It's delicious. I went out to the Eatery with a large group of workmates so we got to feast on heaps of things instead of just a couple of plates. Everyone had a different favourite dish, which was kudos to the kitchen. My favourite was probably the cheese dumpling, buried under delicious greens. It was one of the last courses and we were all very full but I couldn't say no to that DUMPLING. I hope it's still on the menu next time I head out to New Norfolk! But I have to reconcile myself with the fact that it's likely not to be, as the Eatery & Store will change things up regularly to stay fresh and exciting. I suppose I'm ok with that. Another good thing about going out with a group of people is that somebody else drove for once and I got to drink all the cocktails. Ok, not ALL of them, because they can make you whatever you'd like, but they also have a sweet little menu that I had to work my way through to the best of my ability. I think the standout for most of us was a simple concoction of some spirit (brandy?) and whipped orange juice. What the hell, how does whipping juice make it suddenly the fluffiest, most moorish juice you've ever tasted? I don't know, don't tell me the secret. The hours at the Eatery & Store are a little odd, and mean it's likely I won't get here often (who am I kidding, I'm unlikely to get here often anyway--if you have to drive more than ten minutes from Hobart you don't tend to go). Lunches and afternoon snacks are the main focus, with Saturday nights being the only dinners each week (though it looks like they're expanding to Friday night dinners once summer's here). ...now I want dumpling, why did I write this? Somebody go get me dumpling, please.

I went in with two friends today and despite a corner being vacated, your staff tried to place the three of us in a row, instead of in the corner. Have you ever dined with more than two people seated side by side? Conversation is impossible. We managed to negotiate our way into the corner despite your staffer's grave resistance to it (the hesitation being that us sitting in the corner would leave a single seat either side of us and heaven forbid solo diners from existing... we promised to move if the situation arose, and funnily enough, it didn't). Your menu (no longer presented on a wooden cube) is so expensive. The four cheese toastie was beautiful, but $18? And forgive me, but does anyone actually pay $20 for that porridge? And is a half hour wait for food really that great when you've got your prep piled on counters and only half a dozen seated customers? The coffee is still good.

We were staying just above the wharf and spent about 20 minutes walking over. They had a great array of crusty, sweet and savory pastries, pies, and breakfast items. Perhaps the most impressive thing was the fact that their list of specials took up an entire chalkboard. Everything from sweet rolls too, wallaby and rabbit, pie, to some delicious eggs Benedict and a big English breakfast. They had something for everybody, and everything was really good! The place is housed in a relatively old building with a lot of character! Not so old that you're worried that you would find petrified things in the wall, but old enough that you definitely know the place has had a chance to fall over and won't. The staff was really nice, took great care of us and found us seats very quickly, despite the place being busy. All in all, this is a must check out spot whenever you are in town!

I'm trying this new "direct and honest" thing lately, so when the gent asked me how my coffee was on my last visit, I told him honestly that it wasn't the best, but it was drinkable. He took it off me, demanded my feedback, and came back a few minutes later with a much improved version. Just awesome service.

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.
