Breakfast:
BJs
(Beaujangles) in the mall is well-priced, but
the staff wait like they want to be somewhere
else.
Euro Cafe has a tasty menu, but is a bit student-revolutionary.
Harbour Lights in Morrison Street is set up
like a lighthouse and is a quaint setting for
tucking into a huge menu.

Pubs:
Knopwood’s
Retreat, cosy atmosphere, great mulled wine
and hot mead. Customs House – ideally located
in Murray Street. Bridie O’Reilly’s
boasts 20 beers on tap. Conveniently, the delicious
Cascade Draught is on tap everywhere in Hobart.
Stuff
to do:
Cascade Brewery, (oldest
in operation in Australia). Port Arthur, take
in the surrounds of a convict colony. It’s
a picturesque spot with a hint of sadness. Pay
extra to sail to the burial ground of convicts
and soldiers – the Isle of the Dead –
and factor in an overnight stay; there’s
a ghost tour for the brave.

Dinner:
Salamanca
is the place to be seen with a great selection
of restaurants, pubs and boutiques. For steak,
you can’t go past Ball & Chain, beware
though, you can’t book and an hour’s
wait for a table is apparently acceptable.
Strudels Austrian restaurant delivers delicious
European cuisine that’s just like eating
at home. Excellent service, a sleekly designed
restaurant and huge menu selection make it a
must visit – more than once.
