Hobart City Center

About the restaurant

At Landscape Restaurant & Grill, right in the heart of Hobart’s Hunter Street waterfront precinct, we create an unforgettable dining experience.

The heart of our kitchen lies in the coals of our Asado grill. Here, our experienced team, led by Head Chef Nathaniel Embrey, sear aged local wagyu, tender Tasmanian lamb, freshly caught seafood and other premium ingredients, creating masterful dishes of unrivaled flavour. Adding to the unique quality of our dishes is the distinctive environment in which they’re served – the historic walls of the original IXL Jam Factory, surrounded by the iconic landscape art of John Glover.

Hobart City Center

About the restaurant

At Old Wharf, we stand in the historical location of former jetties, piers, homes and taverns from where, since the 1800s colourful traders, merchandisers, exporters and explorers have shipped Tassie’s renowned produce across the globe.

Chef Simon Pockran and his team acknowledge this history by creating a menu that celebrates and explores Tasmania’s traditional family dishes. Reimagined and refined, this menu gives the nod to our past while championing our celebrated produce and boutique Tasmania growers.

During our meal we had 3 different staff providing service which resulted in a missed food order and a less interactive whisky tasting experience. The food quality was exceptional and the seamless integration of historic and modern buildings was very well done

Another good dining experience. Food was amazing and beautifully presented. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The space was clean and easy to move around. Loved it. My only minor issue is the inconsistencies with the special offers. My sister had her group of 3 people and she was given 4 entries in to the Christmas competitions. I had a group of 5 people and was only given one entry. I feel like the staff need to all be on the same page with the special offers.

Choices were hard so sharing meals ment we all were able to enjoy a variety of delicious flavours which were so decorative. The wines were well priced considering the venue. Set in a spectacular part of TAS with lovely outlook. Will be returning!

About the restaurant

Beautiful restaurant with stunning Derwent River & vineyard views.
The original Shed was built on the Mt Nassau property in the early 1900's and met with it's demise in the 1967 bushfires. Built to replace the original Sheds were a Tractor and Shearing shed.
In 2021 work began on "The Shed" Restaurant which has been built in the exact same footprint as the original Sheds and some of the wood from the old Shed were used to make the table bases.
With our incredible head Chef Andrew Russell and our Restaurant Manager Jessica Johnson leading our team of wine and food experts, there is no better spot to sit and enjoy an amazing meal with awards winning wine.

One of the best locations in Hobart, with stunning views of the Derwent River and vineyards. This is well and truly matched by the menu and food quality. The house wine list is also a bonus. A most enjoyable afternoon that I can’t wait to repeat again and again.

Seventeen floors above the River Derwent, the Point Revolving Restaurant at Wrest Point radiates ‘special occasion.’ When the doors open and the view unfolds, you’ll understand why The Point has been a backdrop of memorable dining 40 years over.

This Hobart restaurant is committed to people, produce and place. Our French-inspired menu weaves some of Tasmania’s finest ingredients into a dining experience punctuated with theatre and flair. Like the sound of Crepe Suzettes cooked at your table with flair by our wait staff?

Great place for a celebratory meal. Excellent views over Hobart and the Derwent River. Food and service was excellent and we really enjoyed the ‘theatre’ of our crepe suzette being cooked in front if us.
