Mures Lower Deck is a casual, family-friendly seafood bistro and fishmonger located at Victoria Dock on Hobart's waterfront. Gayle and I enjoyed a nice lunch here during our first full day in Hobart. We had a nice view of the water on this sunny day. Food is ordered at the counter, with the adult beverages at a separate bar. I went for the Fish and Chips, while Gayle went for some sort of salad combination. All good and shared. read more

Mures Lower Deck in Tasmania is a must-visit spot for seafood lovers. I tried their "fish burger," which is essentially a fish sandwich--different terminology, but the quality speaks a universal language. The fish was perfectly crispy, with an incredible crunch that contrasted beautifully with the soft, fresh and super buttery bun. Yum! The casual, bustling vibe of the Lower Deck is it, and, you have a meal with views of the harbor. Highly recommend! read more

Mures Lower Deck - Seafood Near Me

I was walking around Hobart noticing several restaurants were closed on Sundays. Even Yelp steered me wrong by telling me some restaurants were opened when they clearly weren't. I ended up coming back to the waterfront. Between the Upper Deck and the Lower, I chose the latter because I wanted to save eating at the Upper Deck for my last night in Hobart. The Lower Deck has an interesting layout. Ordering coffee and dessert (ice cream and shakes to be exact) is in one section, food is another and the beverages counter is adjacent to that. As such, after I ordered and paid for my dinner, I had to go to the beverage counter to order a beer. I had to be cautious with my dinner choice. I was about to order one of the prawn dishes but noticed in the display case these prawns still had their head and eyes intact. Instead, I chose the dinner special which was grilled tuna. All the entrees came with fries, but the dinner special also came with a salad. The amount of salad given, in my case coleslaw, should be considered another entree. Although I tried but failed to finish both the fries and cole slaw, I was tempted by the ice cream counter as I was heading out. Of the interesting and not so interesting flavors, I chose Jaffa which is a combination of chocolate and orange ice cream and must have been concocted by a kid. As such, the inner kid in me enjoyed it. read more

Mures Lower Deck - Grilled Tuna - Seafood Near Me

Tasmania is known for its fresh oysters, so I knew that I had to try them out when I was visiting Hobart. After a day trip tour spent touring Mount Wellington and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, I was looking for a good place in town that offered this delicacy. As a side note, the production of Tasmanian oysters has come under attack recently due to a disease that is killing off oysters and threatening the industry. While the disease is not a threat to humans health, I still wanted to be sure that I was getting quality oysters. I actually learned of this info from my tour guide and with this in mind, he suggested that I give Mures a try. Mures is located on the Hobart waterfront at Victoria Dock. There are two entries on Yelp for Mures. One for the lower deck and the other for the upper deck. The upper deck is a sit down seafood restaurant, while the lower deck is a casual eatery intended for the masses. Since I wanted just some oysters, I opted for the lower deck as the pricing is lower. The lower deck restaurant is quite roomy with plentiful seating. You seat yourself here wherever there is room. There is also some outside seating available here if you prefer. To order, you head to the counter to make your selection and pay. Once your order is ready, you pick up your meal at a different counter on the other side. The menu offerings are pretty standard for a casual seafood restaurant. Items like fish/seafood & chips, grilled fish and the aforementioned oysters. The restaurant also has a breakfast menu and serves beer & wine. My order here consisted of a half dozen Tasmanian oysters ($16.90) and a 425 mL glass of Cascade Draught ($7). The oysters are of the Pacific variety so they are on the smaller side, but I loved them as they tasted incredibly fresh with a dash of lemon juice. As for the Cascade Draught, this is a beer from Cascade Brewery which is one of the oldest breweries in Australia. I enjoyed this as well as it is a very smooth tasting beer. It paired well with the oysters. Since the restaurant is casual, service is pretty minimal. There is no table service so you need to bus your own tables when you are done. Pretty much like having a fast food meal, albeit the restaurant has better ambiance. Though the restaurant is no frills, it is nice that there is free Wi-Fi if you need to connect online while dining here. If you are looking for a decently priced spot to enjoy Tasmanian seafood, Mures is a good place. Though don't expect much in the way of service when dining at this casual establishment. read more

Great place for seafood. Relaxed informal atmosphere. Grilled fish fresh and cooked perfectly. Salads fresh. I like this place

Went to the lower deck for lunch and it was late afternoon so I appreciated they were open while other nearby cafes were closed. They have the ordering process down to an art so that was great but it did take forever to get food and most tables were pretty dirty. Found a nice couch spot and the fish and chips were fine. Not amazing but fine. read more

Hobart: known for a market, traffic congestion that jams far above the population, and Mures. Despite it being iconic, and charging accordingly, The quality of Mures varies wildly depending on what times of day it is, and no doubt who is working. The fried fish is usually pretty nice, the chips definitely more tasty than the fish and chip shops. I always get the grilled fish, which are usually tasty with a marinade. The salads are pretty poor, the green salad usually just some raw capsicum and lettuce. It's all table service since Covid reopening, slightly irritating (but understandable) the sparkling tap water self service is gone. They get the food out without much wait, and it seems now they are giving you sauces at no charge. Bonus! read more

Mures is a Hobart institution and is in a prime location right on the Victoria Dock. The lower deck is very casual - and it's self service. You place your orders at the counter and collect your meals when your buzzer tells you they're ready. The service is extremely fast - our food was ready in minutes! We really enjoyed our fish, chips and salad and having the ice creamery right there was a bonus. They are extremely generous with the serves of ice cream - the Mures' single serve is the same as a double serve from all other ice cream parlours. read more

Mures with a waterfront view located on constitution dock has both a deck for the lower class and a deck for the upper class and perhaps the standard and quality of food is also greatly diminished by choosing where you go. My friend being a hot chips person and missing seafood chowder from her trip to the USA was adamant on getting the fisherman basket and the seafood chowder from lower Mures. The fisherman basket comes with two calamari, four prawns, two small fish filets, two Mures marinated chicken wings and two scallops and fries for 24.50 Having heard so much about Tasmanian seafood I was grossly disappointed by the seafood quality. It took forever to arrive. It was at room temperature . Cutlery and water and condiments are self service The seafood chowder. An interesting orange color with two pieces of crusty toast was nice Very expensive for what you get Full of tourists There is also an ice cream and desserts place We got the warm apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cream Again for 7.90 you don't get a very large slice and you can't replace the vanilla ice cream scoop with one of their more interesting flavours The ginger Meg ice cream flavour is delicious and it is $1.90 for a hefty scoop' If you're visiting Tasmania and want quality seafood this is not the place read more

Mures Lower Deck - Fisherman basket and seafood chowder - Seafood Near Me

We should have ventured upstairs to the more upscale area but we were in search of casual yet tasty seafood so we just stuck with the bistro and downstairs dining. There are several options for seafood and sides along with beer and wine. My dining party ordered two types of fish with chips and sides. The fish was good for them but not extraordinary. The slaw was bland and looked discoloured. The beetroot salad was much better. All condiments did not come standard. I opted for the seafood chowder with bread. It was good! I was relieved to have a thick, hearty chowder with loads of seafood and a decent flavour. Overall the ambiance could be better. It's a great location on the water so if they stepped up their service so it was quicker and friendlier that would help. Same goes for the service at the espresso stand and ice cream section. Understaffed and impatient, let's work on it. Otherwise it's fine for a quick seafood fix. read more

Mures Lower Deck - Seafood chowder - Seafood Near Me

The Mures Lower Deck is everything in one place. It's a gelato stand. It's a breakfast cafe, it's a seafood diner. Basically a one-stop shop for everything you'll need food-wise - not too expensive - conveniently located on Franklin Wharf. read more

I've been dining on the Mures Marinade for over thirty years when I visit Hobart from time to time. It's obviously a favorite of mine and I would think many others since it remains on the menu. This is not the place for Tassie seafood at its super-dooper best. It's fast-food seafood and if you have that perspective it's great with a very wide selection. Try elsewhere for a finer dining seafood experience. And yes, other reports are correct about this being well frequented by visitors - of course it is, in the heart of Hobarts tourist precinct. But it needs to be to get the throughput to justify the selection and overall scale of this place. The wait can be long at times but it's not that bad. Look around, look at the queue, and ask about the wait time when you order if you are in a super hurry otherwise chill and enjoy one of Tassie's best city vistas. I'd love to find places like this in the cities I've visited and lived in around the world. Enjoy. read more

Wonderful breakfast here at a reasonable price! We did it want to spend $30 eating the hotel breakfast so we came here and were very satisfied. Friendly staff and good food! read more

Grabbed an ice cream cone on the lower deck today. The portion was good sized, the ice cream was very tasty with a nice creamy texture, and the waffle cone had that hint of anise that I love. We also appreciated the free filtered and sparkling water. All the fish in the case looked fresh, and everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their food. read more

Good food. The oysters are really fresh! Must try them if you come to Hobart read more

Mures lower deck is a tourist vacuum in a great location. We didn't enjoy our food much unfortunately. We ordered the seafood basket and chowder. While all sea fare was super fresh it just lacked flare and did not hit the spot for us. Also, the chips weren't great, for a glorified fish and chip place this must be rectified with urgency. The staff seemed lovely, however. We will push on to find our favourite seafood joint in Hobart. read more

This is the closest restaurant to the hotel I was staying at so I decided to give it a go. The hordes of tourists queuing up to the counter manned by disinterested teenagers should have been a dead giveaway. That and the inflated prices. The fish was pretty bland and the chips - well, they're chips, I mean, how excited are you going to get over those. Clearly a tourist trap. Avoid. read more

On Thursday Feb 11, I went to Mures and it's not the first time I've been. The last time I went the portions had diminished but the prices didn't. I was so surprised when I went in this day to find that the prices have increased... but the portions had DOUBLED. $25 for a Fisherman's Basket but it was so large I couldn't finish it. A first for me. A dozen oysters is still high but they are so worth it. As always the seafood was morning caught fresh and the quality of service was exceptional. I had to pay for my tartare sauce now, which I was not impressed about. I still had to go and get it because you cannot eat seafood at Mures without their Tartare Sauce. It was going to cost me $2. I handed over my money and got not a small shot of it but something that was close to 2/3 of a cup or at least 200 ml of it. I was shocked but in a good way. I have always loved Mures but when they dwindled the portions it had left a bad taste in my mouth... which has now been removed from my palette and I could not be happier. Seafood... dine in... take away... wholesale direct to the public... drinks... ice cream... and now sushi. Mures is an icon of Tasmania's iconic water front that should not be missed by local and visitor alike. 5 out of 5! read more

Mures is the place we go to every year for their crumbed blue eye meal. We love it. However the price of that meal is now $21 per serve which is 2 small to medium fillets of blue eye fish and chips. When you include a few salads and an ice cream or two a 5 person family costs roughly $150. That's a lot of money for what is essentially a fish and chips meal. I'm not sure how many could afford this. Again we love the meal, but you don't get table service, you need to wait in line, and the all things considered the price is expensive for what you receive. read more

I stopped by today to grab a quick Fish/Chip for lunch. The Lower Deck is a casual dining place with mostly tourists and locals. The area has both outside and inside dining. On one of the hottest days in Hobart, I chose inside (near 40 C - outside). The air conditioning wasn't quite sufficient, even when I selected a table just near the output vents. The waiter/waitresses/bus boys-girls are pleasant and smiling when you see them. They keep the tables cleared as many people come through. This was my second time eating the Fish/Chip for lunch. The first time was for their Special in which they had posted as a Ling Fish at $18. The Ling Fish was in the form of 3 battered medallions (four inch diameter rounded) of the fish. These pieces were not dry, so not previously frozen. I considered it good, but not the best I ever had. Today though, I tried what the clerk considered their best fish the Australian Blue Eye Trevalla at $22. Each time I select the batter version was chosen as that is my personal preference. The Trevalla was moist and fresh today. So I enjoyed it as this area should have fresh fish daily. "Mures" was much fresher than the Trevalla that I had at the floating bungalow cafe "Flipper" yesterday. So I would consider this very good. The chips (potato fries) here at Mures were very good with slight crunch exterior. I would give the edge on the chips though to "Flipper". For $2 extra one has to pay for the Tartar Sauce. The tomato sauce (ketchup) was free at the central pickup counter. Patrons get a remote buzzer that vibrates when their order is ready. It took about 15 minutes to get my order. I also had their breakfast here the other day, it was their large breakfast plate of two hash browns (fried potato cakes), two poached eggs, two slices of toast and slices of ham. It was decent andd quite a bit of food. The breakfast ends at 10:30 am. They also have a ice cream bar on one end of the restaurant. The sales clerks are pleasant and provided nice scoops of ice cream. There is a nice selection here at Mures Ice Cream Bar that offers also shakes, coffee, cappuccino, cakes, and sandwiches. read more

For many years we have been to Mures for family outings, but regretfully the last three times the food has been extremely disappointing. We kept thniking it might just have been a bad day. Yesterday the fisherman's baskets were all overcooked and cold, the grilled blue eye was so thin that the skin was the thickest part of the fish, cold chips and passable salad. The children all left their food as did the birthday person. For 5 out of 7 to leave the food because of the poor quality, has to give a clear message! The house wine was really poor and "George Mure" label didn't justify the $10 charge. I'm afraid Mures have lost us as regulars. read more

Way over priced for what we had. You would probably be better served at the fish and chips boat outside than going here.

Mures is and always has been one of the best places in Hobart for great fish and chips. Check them out if you enjoy quality seafood!

Nice cafeteria style seafood restaurant with a large selection of everything including wine & desserts. Seafood was yummy - fish & chips. Good for families and large groups. Crowded and sort of hard to find a seat. read more

This is a great option if you're on a budget for both money and time. Every option of seafood you could want breaded. I got fish and chips and definitely not the best I've had but still pretty good. The gelato they serve at their cafe is excellent for an after dinner treat-- just ask the server for their most popular flavor! read more

Came down to Victoria Dock and was recommended to come to Mures. I was sadly disappointed. We had grilled Dory and Chips as well as a seafood chowder. The Dory lacked flavour. My parent's local fish and chips does a better job of grilled fish and chips and they live in south west Sydney! The chowder (although our expectations are quite high with the chowder we've had in the past around US seaport cities and Sydney!) was mediocre. The service was good and they promptly cleaned the tables outside. It had a nice setting out on the dock but those seagulls are fierce, which detracted from the experience on top of the fairly average food. Might be a bit harsh but I'd expect more from a schmick place like this - or maybe that's the problem with places like this ?!?! read more

Decent counter service seafood joint overlooking the picturesque wharf.

What a fantastic location in the harbor. This would be the main reason to come here for an ice cream or cuppa, not much else. I had the breakfast frittata served on sautéed spinach. They forgot to mention that it would be underneath a glob of melted, greasy cheese. The whole plate was swimming in grease, not a desirable way to start the day. Overall it was decent, but I wouldn't order ti again. read more

My partner and I are new to Tasmania and were hoping to sample some of the state's highest quality seafood. I'm afraid to say we were bitterly disappointed with our choice to patronise Mures this evening. Bad food and bad service. Frivolous teenage staff they probably fished out of McDonald's. read more

We had a really great lunch experience (this place is perfect for lunch or a very casual dinner). Prices are a bit higher than the boat stalls outside of their building, but it provides a nice place to sit with warmth and good views, especially during the winter! You can also get beer or wine and prices are a bit high on that as well but it is great to have that option. We ended out having some excellent travella fish with some really good chips. We ate every last bit!! The tartar sauce is really good as well and almost taste like there is a tad of curried spice in it but I could be wrong. Definitely worth it for a fun lunch and you can definitely take big groups and/or kids and feel relaxed! read more

Good quality seafood, as you would expect from a major seafood retailer. Great location and views right on the water. But you are paying for that view. Essentially a good fish n chip shop that pops some salad on the side and adds $5-$10 to the price of the meal. Good place to take tourist friends who are happy to pay for the view. read more

Arrived in Hobart early from Melbourne and were keen for some breakfast. A short wander from our hotel and we came across Mures. The decor and theme fit its surrounds and it looked inviting given there wasn't a lot else immediately visible for an out-of-towner. Most of the staff were welcoming. For such a large place and abundance of staff I was a little taken back that there was no table service. The staff member serving me appeared to be either on his first day or somewhat incompetent and did not fill me with confidence that my order would be right. Given there was less than a half dozen people in the place (Friday around 8.30am) our order arrived quickly. Presentation was very good and servings were generous. As expected though, part of our order was messed up by day one staff member but was a minor thing. The food was very tasty although part of the reason for the low rating was both orders were dripping in oil. It was not a pleasant experience in what should have been an ideal setting. read more

It's take away or dine in fish and chips. Quality fresh seafood and good service. Free room temp, chilled or sparkling water is a nice addition. Good selection of wine, also a large selection of ice cream. Right on the dock. Worth it for lunch. read more

Woeful. This place screams 'glorified production line' fish and chips. The meals are like what you'd expect to receive in a hospital, slapped together. The chips were cold and the fish was disappointing. Also, the staff are rude. read more

Overpriced and over rated. Very disappointed with the quality, price and portions. Look around in the same area and you'll find better priced fish and chips. Do not recommend. read more

This is an astonishingly overpriced tourist trap that is bettered by all of its surrounding competition. You would only come here because you have just arrived in Hobart and haven't yet figured out that all of the surrounding restaurants and cheaper and have better food, which was our experience. read more

Excellent in terms of being child friendly. Very nice location on the waterfront. Easy food at cheap prices.

I went to lunch with the mrs and we both recieved THE smallest piece of fish I've ever been given. Seriously! The thing was 50g, I could've got something 5 times as big for half the price at the punts, I've never felt so insulted, nor do I normally complain or write yelp reviews but they compelled me to do so. I would give zero stars but they had a free glass of terrible wine which is what got the star read more

this place cater mostly for tourist who know very little of the place. avoid going during dinner or lunch time especially during the weekends. ques are long and service is even longer. service becomes hopeless and in many instances you pay money to get insulted. read more
