Groups of tables and chairs divided by half walls which lower the noise and bench seats across one wall add extra comfort. Framed antique posters are a striking decorative feature and large sliding windows open to a footpath alfresco area. Separate menus for breakfast lunch and dinner offer a wide range of international, contemporary dining options. The locally roasted coffee was excellent. Definitely noted in our diary.

I had a Picolo (short) latte and it was up with the best Melbourne coffees, with a great range of both teas and coffees to choose from. The scones were full and light with real thick cream and local berry jam. We came back for lunch the next day. Equally impressive home baked dishes that change regularly. Oh, and really friendly helpful staff.

Hiding out in a weird industrial kinda spot in Derwent Park is a casual Vietnamese cafe with--the…read moremost important part, IMHO--a selection of banh mi on the menu. This is the real deal stuff, not the banh mi inspired rolls you find in town. Having said that, three of the four meat options are iffy, for me. The best one is the mix meat loaf. This could just because I desperately miss the Vietnamese bakery in Brisbane that never advertised their banh mi but you could always get a perfect one just by asking. They were also around half the price of Chikko's. Sure, Chikko's is good. For Hobart, where we don't have other options. At least I know where to get my banh mi fix down here, when I really need one. ETA: 24hrs after posting my review I've found out Chikko's opening a second location in Eastlands Shopping Centre, mostly focused on their street food offerings. Another excuse to head to Beastlands! Not yet the CBD but edging closer and closer.

My close friend recommended I visit MONA specifically for The Source as it was the best meal he'd…read morehad recently. I enjoyed my MONA trip a lot but unfortunately The Source disappointed a bit. The restaurant was super dead and empty. I ordered oysters, truffle cheese toastie, cauliflower, and boats in the source. The oysters were delicious as expected and my favorite dish was definitely the toastie!! Insane cheese pull on that one and so flavorful! The cauliflower was just okay and I actually did not like the boats in the source dish much at all. Overall I felt a little let down with the meal but the service was amazing and I had a very kind and helpful server. I'd consider trying out FARO the higher end fine dining restaurant inside MONA instead of The Source if I am able to visit again!

Ferry boat to the museum and into a fancy lunch? Sign me up. It was everything I imagined and more. One of the handful of memorable meals during our trip. Beautiful interior, floor to ceiling windows, fantastic staff and local food. Yes wallaby tartare is on the menu, we ate it and recommend. Another local twist is the incorporation of individualized designs to the plates from local school children and the modern uniforms are designed in AUS and unisex. Beautiful, thoughtful meal and space. We loved it. Ate a leisurely lunch, then wandered downstairs to the ice cream cart and then walked it all off in the museum. A perfect afternoon.

I had not packed a lunch so the tour guide brought us to Brighton's Best Bakehouse to pick up some food. This was one of the few eateries in the area as dining options are more limited outside of Hobart. Though I had been in Australia for several days, I had yet to eat a meat pie while on my trip. Considering the bakery has won some awards for their meat pies, it seemed fitting that this would be the first place that I did. There is a long list of different varieties of savory meat pies to choose from here. They also offer baked goods here if you are looking for something sweet instead. If you decide to dine in, there is a decent amount of seating. This spot has the feel of a roadside truck stop eatery. Decided to order a sausage roll and a meat pie which were quite inexpensive at under $8 for both items. And the size of these meat pastries were sizable. One would have sufficed for a light meal. The sausage in the sausage roll is reminiscent of the taste of Vienna sausage which I liked. The meat pie was enjoyable as well. It has a nice pie crust and the meat filling was flavorful. Considering the limited food options outside of Hobart, it seemed quite amazing to find some delicious Aussie meat pies at BBB that were filling and inexpensive. If you are in the area visiting Bonorong Wildlife Park, this is a nice place to pick up some food before visiting the park.
