WHAT'S NEW IN HOBART

9/10/2015

23 Comments

 
Some are brand spanking, some are ‘newish’ and some doors haven’t even swung open. What’s more, this is just Hobart. We have so much more to bring you….there's whispers of Mexico in North Hobart, some good coffee on its way on the corner of Murray and Brisbane, also newbies headed for Kingston Beach. But for now, let's take a peek at what's popped up in town.
Picture
SOCIETY - SALAMANCA
If you’re keen to become part of ‘Hobart Society’ step right this way. Society, in Montpelier Street, is all about the Tassie focus and we love that. Whiskies, gins, cool-climate wines, ciders – you name it and they have a Tasmanian variety. Oh and the charcuterie, oysters or pizza go nicely with a shared bottle of Tasmanian sparkling.

SOUTH SEAS COCKTAIL LOUNGE
If you’re in the know, you will have popped into the tropical tiny-ness that is the South Seas Cocktail Lounge. Barely large enough to turn your ship in, this inviting lounge offers authentic classic cocktails. If you like rum, head this way Wednesday to Saturday from 5pm. If the door says full, that just means others have beaten you there.

LILY AND DOT (opening in October)
Lily and Dot is the creation of Katinka Challen. Nothing is sweeter than a store named after two grandmothers. As it turns out, Lily taught Katinka how to sew and Dot taught her how to crochet. It’s likely Lily and Dot would be smiling over their tea cups at her store, where you’ll find gifts for baby and home, handmade Tasmanian wares and whimsical vintage pieces for little ones and grown-ups. And be prepared, there will be some serious social stitching and crafternoons happening too.

ATELIER PHILIP SMITH
Walk up the lane way toward Kelly's Steps and don't be surprised if you hear the gentle tones of a cello. Philip Smith is a Luthier - one that makes or repairs stringed instruments such as violins and across his 20 year career has been mentored by world renowned Samuel Kolstien and Sons in New York. Now you'll find this humble maker up a lane way in Hobart. Follow the sounds....

TWELVE STONES
Okay, so it's not exactly in Hobart but located 25 minutes north at Pontville. This heritage listed Uniting Church has been gorgeously redeveloped to house Twelve Stones and now serves up the likes of smoked wallaby fillets and grilled halloumi and vegetable stacks. Drop in for a cellar door wine tasting or settle in for dinner in the 1874-built church.

LITTLE SHOES ESPRESSO
Every day after 3pm….milkshakes are $2. Have you ever heard such a thing? Or stop in for a toastie and a milkshake or T2 cuppa for $5. It’s the kind of offering that may encourage interstate visitors to move to Hobart. Travel back in time at Little Shoes Espresso where quality seasonal food and coffee is worth handing over a $10 tip for.

RED VELVET LOUNGE - RE-OPENED
Australia’s former Country Chef of the Year, Steve Cumper, has re-opened his doors in Cygnet much to the delight of all who missed RVL following a devastating fire. You’ll find everything there ever was to love, delivered in his stylish new lounge. All is well in this foodie hamlet once more.

THE GLASS HOUSE
Suspended on Hobart’s floating pier like a ship in the night, The Glass House is a destination. Here, you can choose your own cocktail glass – take a peek at the Murano glassware handpicked by the owners and pieces collected at auction from grand Tasmanian estates. Put a bottle of Tasmanian single malt in The Glass House locker for next time you visit. After all, you'll want to return.

FUEL - SO GOOD
It’s so good. It’s so, so good that when you sip it through your straw you can’t figure out how it could possibly be healthy as well. With a  courtyard on the way and more enthusiasm than a blender can keep a lid on, get Fuel to mix you up something deliciously healthy. Oh, then there’s cold drip coffee, some raw treat named a 'dream cake'…we could go on…

ON HAMPDEN
If you need a handcrafted super hero for a new baby girl, some ‘lovely flowers’ or a splash of colour round your neck courtesy of Rebecca Roth’s flare with resin, head for On Hampden. You can even sign up for a 'Pop-Up Wedding' but more on that later. This clever clan of women have brought colour and creativity to Hampden Road.

WHISK & CO
Whisk & Co are fast making Lenah Valley a must-go-to destination. Perhaps it’s the pastry chef’s lemon curd tarts, the all-day Vietnamese fried omelette or new dinner menu that has the local neighbourhood wrestling for a seat. Let’s just say, they know how to use a whisk.

JAM AND BREAD
Jam and Bread have a menu with plenty more than jam and bread. Located in Margate this tea room and gift shop do some seriously good food with seriously good Hobart roasted coffee also on the menu. Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Pilaf with house-made Labna? Yes please. Jam and Bread might not be so new, but their latest project Ranelagh General Store is hot off the press.

RED PARKA DESIGNS
You may recognise Jennifer Skelly's work from Salamanca Market or round the corner in Harrington Street where Red Parka has moved from. Her ever growing suite of books, buttons, prints and more is expanding, always with a hint of clever humour. Grab a tote proclaiming 'I wish I was your plover' or pick up a book of collective nouns so that only you know how to refer to a group of passing jellyfish....'that would be a smack of jellyfish' of course.

CAMO TUESDAYS + CAMPBELL SHIP
The Jet Servo on Sandy Bay Road was once a destination only for those who needed fuel. Now, it's a place where coffee, clothing and motorcycles merge. Just trust us, go and find out about Campbell Ship and know that this espresso garage serves up fantastic Hobart roasted coffee.
CAMO TUESDAYS + CAMPBELL SHIP
Picture
CAFE LOLA
At Cafe Lola they believe that healthy food 'doesn't have to be boring.' And they're right. When you're busily choosing the base of your super bowl of health and topping it with paleo-influenced goodness, there's nothing boring about the process. And there's nothing boring about the flavours that arrive under your nose. Fresh wholefoods, great coffee, friendly smiles....that's why we like Lola.

FRANK
Not brand new, but a must for brand new visitors! Frank - suitably positioned at Franklin Wharf on the waterfront has a South American influence and strong focus on Tasmanian produce. Expect to find Confit Doo-Town venison on the menu, Spring Bay mussels and don't go past the charred sweet potato, goats curd and muddled almonds as a side. All dishes perfect for sharing!

FRANKLIN RESTAURANT
As with Frank, not brand new, but a must for brand new visitors! This open-feeling restaurant is located in a former Ford showroom (c. 1923) so there's plenty of elbow room between tables. Head Chef David Moyle and his team work from an open kitchen right in the centre of Franklin, complete with ten-tonne Scotch oven where abalone, whiting and whole pigeon is cooked to perfection. Right next door you'll find The Tasmanian Juice Press and Pigeon Whole Bakers too!

WILLING BROS. WINE MERCHANTS
Pull up a seat at Willing Bros. Wine Merchants and watch North Hobart wander by. This neighbourhood wine bar has a little wine from all over - from Tasmania of course, as well as mainland Australia and international labels in the mix. They also serve up delicious charcuterie and cheese, the perfect accompaniment.

BECAUSE - SANDY BAY
This lovely little haven filled with works of local makers and artists is a must-visit just because. You too may walk out with a newly knitted scarf from a maker in north west Tasmania. Or you may just find your own little island-crafted gem in this space where pieces are constantly changing.

Hi guys, thanks for the inclusion in your list, I'd just like to clarify something though. Camo Tuesdays is owned and operated by the wonderful Michael Borch, Michael has been a close friend for decades and has given me some space to show my photography work and hold photography classes. Michael has developed a genuine customer base who enjoy his interaction as much as his coffee. Thanks.

Tasmania is home to some of the best seafood in the world and it doesn't get anymore premium that Mako Fresh Fish North Hobart (not to be confused with a similar sounding business on the Docks). The best fresh and cooked seafood, eat in and wash it down with a glass of Tassie wine, or take away, you won't get better!
