Even though I'm not on a strict keto diet, I ordered the keto brekky that had eggs, halloumi, bacon and spiced avo. Nice. Coffee was great: strong, smooth and the right temperature. The fish and chips ordered by the fam were ENORMOUS. 3 large pieces of actual fish, in a light, crunchy batter and a small cup of chips. It's the inverse of the usual fish and chips where you get a ton of chip and a measly piece of sad greasy fish. Service was excellent, despite it being very bi There's no kids menu though- keep that in mind if you're going with the kidlets. There isn't a lot for them besides a giant size fish and chips.

The gin selection is exceptional and there's always a gin of the week, which is a great opportunity to try a gin you may not have encountered before. Society also now makes their own tonic syrup in house, and I believe they're the first place in Hobart to be doing that. ALL THE KUDOS! It's such a special sort of offering and shows how much they care about their drinks. Also back to gin again, Society do gin tasting platters... correct. Half nips of four different gins (be it a Tasmanian platter, an Australian platter or a tailored platter) with a splash of tonic and a garnish to suit each different gin. A really fun way to try a few different variations in one sitting, because gins can be so different! I LOVE GIN! There are always plenty of events happening at Society too, all posted on their facebook, from regular weekly events like Tapas Tuesday to one-off events like fundraiser dinners and spirit masterclasses.

This Thursday was raclette night and they take bookings for the few tables they have for a 6pm or 8pm seating - we booked 8pm but decided to sit on one of the comfy couches. The raclette was delicious and a generous portion of melted and crispy raclette cheese and prosciutto over potatoes with a bit of salad for $15. There is a huge selection of spirits though we had a nice bottle of Cabernet which was also good value.

Then again perhaps they just don't do vegan food well there and can only be trusted to do well on their specialties. That's why I gave this four stars -- because I get a sense that most of their menu items they probably do well, but there's a few duds on the menu are that are probably not in the chefs wheelhouse.

This is gonna be a weird review…read more Here's the thing: St Albi isn't what I expected at all. I'd seen so many photos of the hip fitout that I had my assumptions about the menu, and those assumptions were way off. What St Albi is, secretly, but far more accessibly for the locals, is a gastropub. The menu is tried and true pub style, fancied up around the edges. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and once my dining pal and I had gotten our heads around this, our meals were awesome. I'd go so far as to say my steak was the best steak I've had in Hobart. Yep, I'm gonna make that call. But having said that, I didn't head to St Albi that night expecting to eat a steak. My friend and I started with an entree and a half each, because we both needed to try the chowder but also another thing each. The chowder was out of this world delicious, and I'm pretty sure it had some sage in it (or just the right combination of other herbs and spices that tricked me into thinking it was sage), but I've been back since just for the chowder and it didn't have quite that same flavour to it. I was a little disappointed, but the chowder is still super, super delicious and comes with an enormous prawn hanging out in it (entertaining but awkward to eat, nobody look at me please). I won mains hands down with my steak, which I forced my friend to try as well (ok I didn't have to force her very hard). I chose the Cox coffee rub for it because I was intrigued. I chose medium rare because that's how steak should be cooked. And I chose some duck fat potatoes and honey brown mushrooms for sides because I couldn't not. Seriously, so good. But so much food. Because this is a gastropub, not a fine dining restaurant. If someone had explained this to me before I went, maybe I wouldn't have had 1.5 entrees before my enormous main, leaving less than zero room for my dessert (yes, even my dessert stomach abandoned me) and giving me actual pains because I was so full (and yet still got most of my sides to take away and devour the following day with some scrambled eggs because I'm a genius). I love you, St. Albi, now that I properly understand you. Maybe next time I'll know how to leave room for one of your desserts?
