Although I had walked by the restaurant several times, I came here only after fellow travelers whom I met earlier in the day recommended not only the restaurant but also the chocolate dessert. The bar and the restaurant have their own menu. I was previously warned the bar has a nicer ambiance than the restaurant, but the restaurant menu is better than the bar. Whether it is the norm or not in Hobart restaurants, bread is not complimentary. Because I planned to have dessert, I chose not to order the bread or any sides to ensure room. For my main entree, the wallaby roast caught my attention. As it was my first time, I did not realize the meat would be a bit tough rather than being tender. The horseradish buttermilk accompanied the wallaby meat very well. Rather than being very pungent, the sauce only had the horseradish taste. When I was given this recommendation, I was under the impression there was one chocolate dessert. Unfortunately, there appears to be two, the Frogmore Cigar and the Snickers. My waitress considered the latter the restaurant's chocolate dessert because of the hot chocolate sauce poured over the peanut butter parfait. If this wasn't the chocolate dessert which I had been recommended, it is a very close second.

On my first visit to Australia, I took a side trip to Hobart. I arrived on the island just before…read moresunset and it was dark by the time I checked into my hotel. I didn't do a lot of research about eateries prior to visiting to Hobart. Instead, I decided to walk around the area and see which places piqued my interest. Walked over to Salamanca Place as there are plenty of restaurants in this area. Along the way I stumbled across Waterman's on my walk through the neighborhood. I was looking for a low-key spot and this fit the bill, so I decided to give a try. Waterman's is a beer bar/pub specializing in craft and small batch brews. Particularly of interest for me were the Tasmanian beer offerings here. The location itself is appealing as it is in an old sandstone building so the interior has a history behind it. The layout of the place consists of a main bar area in which you order your beers and food from. As for seating, there are numerous seating booths here with a wall installation illuminating light. The beers on offer are posted on a board above the bar. There is a nice array of different types of beers to choose from here. You can find the list of what is available currently on their website. In general, beer seems to be a bit more pricey in Australia and this is no different here. Though I like that they offer a smaller size than the standard pint. This is good as it allows you to try more than one beer at a time here. In addition to their beers, the pub has a food menu which includes pizza, schnitzel, brats and pub entrees (Australian name for appetizers). For dinner here, I decided to get a Bah Bah pizza ($15.90) and paired it with a 10 ounce Van Dieman Stout ($8). The stout is a dark brew and it was on the bitter side. More so than I was expecting. But fortunately the pizza helped to cope with the bitterness. The pizza portion size was huge and filling. And it had an interesting combination of ingredients including slow cooked lamb, dukkah, roasted pumpkin and feta. The lamb was tasty and had a sausage like texture. As a whole, the flavors of the pizza really go well together. Dukkah is something I have never seen before on a menu. Turns out it is a spice mix which reminds me of spices like cumin and turmeric. If you like Mediterranean food, I think you will enjoy this as it is like eating a pizza version of a gyro. If you are looking to try out different varieties of Tasmanian beers in one place while in Hobart, Waterman's is a good place to check out. I recommend getting one of the pizzas here to pair with the beer as they are sizable and delicious.

This is the kind of place where you just want to belly up to the bar and try some local stout. We…read morehad just finished dinner and wanted to try something in the market area. This place is just up the street from the open air market they have, so it was the perfect spot. There is both an inside area and an outside area in the back. They have plenty of games to play and a lively atmosphere, but perhaps the best treat is that men's urinals are built into a wall with one-way mirrors, so you can actually see the folks in the outside area and enjoy them having a beer right across from where you are standing. That alone was worth the price of the beer!

Here's the thing about Veg Bar: it's a safe bet for my vegan friend, so I've been here a number of…read moretimes, and I'll likely keep coming back for this reason, and each time it's enjoyable enough, and the food is filling, but it's also... look. It's spicy, or it's bland, or it's some weird combination of spicy and bland, but those are the only two flavours I ever get out of meals at Veg Bar. I also find it kind of odd that they don't have table service--you come in and find your own seat (which may be in a cute date booth up the back, or a garden setting in the middle of the room, or a swing in the front window), check out the menu, then go up to the counter to order. The menu has plenty of options, with a separate section for burgers and wraps, bowls, "big deals" and the rest (please note well that the burgers are around $15 each and don't come with fries? Excuse me? You don't even have meat on your burger and I'm not getting fries for $15?), and the food tends to come out very quickly. I just wish it had more flavour to it apart from spicy and/or bland. I'm sorry. I tried.

First of all, to the previous reveiwer, leaving two stars and then stating you'll "likely keep…read morecoming back" is a bit ridiculous for several reasons. Now back to my review. The restaurant is clean, healthy, delicious, and most importantly NO ANIMALS ARE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THE FOOD. Plus the staff are all beautiful. So if you want a good meal and some good karma, check this please out. ProTip: It's one of the only places in town with coconut and almond milk options for your cappuccinos. Enjoy!

It was only midweek and our guide told us that this place was always packed. There was lots of local energy here, of which we should have stayed longer and soaked it all in. The food and drink was a set menu, but in an Irish Pub, that meant that a burger, chicken parma, or fish and chips were always on the menu. The beer choices were on the light side, in which I should have insisted on a Guinness or a Kilkenny, instead of the local lager. It was all good, both in terms of taste, quantity, and good craic.
