01.Uncle Alby's● 40 RecommendationsHeading out of Hobart? Skip the servo coffee. Tassie road-trippers map their routes specifically to hit this charming Sorell pitstop. Uncle Alby’s pours a seriously dialled-in cup—silky microfoam, flawless latte art, pure espresso perfection. The vibe is endlessly cheerful. Alfresco seating catching the morning sun. Baristas who actually smile while pulling your shot. Food-wise, the kitchen doesn't mess around. A killer Reuben. Spongy, sweet banana cake. That spring onion and jalapeño bagel? Absolute fire. Top-tier brews, wallet-friendly prices, and unmatched hospitality. Your new mandatory caffeine fix on the Tasman Highway.4 Gordon St, Sorell TAS 7172, Australia02.Wide Awake Specialty Coffee● 35 RecommendationsRight on the buzzing North Hobart strip—a tiny, minimalist nook pulling the most dialed-in espresso in Tassie. Caffeine purists chasing the perfect extraction point straight to this Elizabeth Street spot. Serious coffee geekery, zero pretension. We’re talking premium single-origins, bright cold brews bursting with punchy citrus and fruity cupping notes, and perfectly flaky croissants to accompany that flawless morning flatty. The vibe? Effortlessly chill. Grab a spot on the outdoor bench, chat up the ultra-welcoming baristas, and sip a masterclass in specialty roasting. Totally worth the detour.271 Elizabeth St, North Hobart TAS 7000, Australia+61 415 075 66403.Trophy Room● 30 RecommendationsBehind a modest door on Argyle Street sits North Hobart’s most thrilling dining room. A moody, candlelit space anchored by a buzzing open-air kitchen. Here, the boundary between chef and diner completely dissolves. Melbourne weekenders and local epicureans alike chart a course for this intimate spot, drawn by a hyper-seasonal ethos that shifts almost weekly. Expect flawless technique and pristine Tasmanian terroir. Think bracingly fresh oysters, house-baked malted sourdough, and delicate whiting swimming in a textbook beurre blanc. The brigade operates with an almost theatrical rhythm—a seamless mise en place unfolding right before your eyes. Grab a spot at the communal table. Order a razor-sharp Martini. Let the chefs guide you through a brilliantly paced tasting journey served across charming antique tableware. Unpretentious. Supremely confident. An absolute must-book.342 Argyle St, North Hobart TAS 7000, Australia04.Welcome Swallow Brewery● 25 RecommendationsAn old factory shed in New Norfolk’s historic hop-growing heartland—completely transformed. Inside? A sprawling indoor jungle. Lush greenery, speakeasy couches, grand round tables. Craft purists making the trek from Hobart are quick to validate the eight rotating taps. Tasting paddles pour dialed-in modern styles without going totally off the deep end—think impeccably balanced pours and seasonal *wet hop* releases paying homage to the valley's rich agricultural roots. The food situation is equally on point. Those in the loop point straight to the insanely beefy, no-nonsense burgers, or the stellar lineup of visiting food trucks. No pretense. Just serious brewing chops and an atmosphere begging for long afternoons solving the world's problems. Sink into a vintage sofa, grab a paddle, and taste the true *terroir* of Tasmania.99 Ring Rd, New Norfolk TAS 7140, Australia+61 438 302 62105.The Winston● 20 RecommendationsNorth Hobart’s unapologetic slice of Americana. The Winston—a buzzing, memorabilia-drenched pub where the pints flow heavy and the fryers work overtime. Hobart’s hopheads pile in for the stellar house-brewed craft pours, but the kitchen is the true heavyweight. Think towering, grease-perfect triple quarter pounders. The legendary Big Sammy. Philly steak sandwiches dripping with pure, savory swagger. Scoville-chasers routinely test their mettle against the infamous atomic wings—a fiery rite of passage that commands absolute respect. Sure, you might wait a minute for a table when it’s packed to the rafters, and the service is blunt, straight-shooting pub style, but that’s part of the raw charm. Grab a schooner, hit the retro gaming area, and soak up the electric, unapologetically loud atmosphere. Proper pub grub. Killer brews. Zero pretense.381 Elizabeth St, North Hobart TAS 7000, Australia+61 3 6231 2299
