Hobart hits: Eight new restaurants, bakeries and bars in the Tassie capital
After a short hiatus, Australia's most outlandish arts festival, Dark Mofo, is ready to once more engulf Hobart in June. Whether you're heading south for the festivities, or just planning a winter weekender in Tassie, there's been an influx of new dining and drinking destinations worth your while. From an exceptional bakery, to a nine-seat ramen bar, to an energetic diner by a chef with serious Tasmanian pride, here are eight new openings to have on your radar. Scholé, CBD Chef Luke Burgess was at the cutting edge when he co-opened Garagistes in Hobart in 2010, championing natural wine and hyperlocal produce. It closed in 2015, but a decade later Burgess is back with Scholé, a Japanese-influenced restaurant and wine bar in an old lolly shop. A meal at the 10-person communal table – a golden glow and timber cladding all around – feels like a sake-fuelled dinner party. The menu changes frequently, but a recent standout was skilfully sliced garfish and pike sashimi in a fermented green tomato and sansho pepper sauce. Bookings are essential, except on Tuesday nights, when it channels tachinomi – Japanese-style standing bars.
