Ogee

Ogee in North Hobart is an absolute knockout. No stiff white tablecloths here. Just 60s and 70s wax spinning behind the bar, skin-contact pours, and plates driven by hyper-seasonal Tasmanian bounty. Mainland epicureans are booking flights just to snag a stool. The undisputed move? The $100 Feed Me menu. It’s a chef-curated flex of kitchen skill—think punchy crudo-style octopus laced with green chilli, flawlessly al dente anchovy pasta, and fire-kissed lamb. Plant-based? The line pivots beautifully with bespoke earthy mushroom ravioli and grilled eggplant. The wine list is a masterclass in thoughtful pairings, leaning into vibrant orange drops and cracking reds. It’s electric. Dense. Effortlessly cool. A quick tip—front-row bar seating brings the action, but those high stools near the door can catch a winter draft. Trust the floor staff, let the chef drive, and settle in.
