Eat + Drink

Good taste is in Tasmania’s DNA. Here, in our own little part of the world, local produce takes centre stage on every menu, telling a vital part of our story with classic dishes refined and reimagined.

Our strong relationships with boutique growers gives us year-round access to the freshest produce our state has to offer, hand delivered to our kitchens. So you can enjoy the best of Tasmania in our restaurant, lounge, or hand-delivered direct to your room.

In the diary of Reverend Knopwood, Tasmania’s first Chaplain, he recalls dining locally with his friends on 10th October 1804. “The ‘piece de resistance’ was emu.” And while Tasmania’s menus have changed dramatically over the years, one thing remains the same, food tastes better when shared with friends.

With renowned Head Chef Alvin Sim at the helm, share a culinary caper through the finest of Tasmanian produce, served right alongside Hobart’s waterfront. A dining experience worthy of local legend.
