LOCATIONIn Sorell, a 25-minute drive to the north-east of Hobart.
PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAThe Sorell Providore is a delightfully cheery, modern makeover of what used to be a main street cafe and ice-cream parlour. A wonderful selection of single malt whiskies, magnums of old Granges and vintage Hill of Graces are the tempting highlights of a very good selection of wines that sits on one side of the entrance. A bright and well-stocked deli and kitchen sit on the other. Towards the rear, scattered cafe tables spill out to a paved and pebbled courtyard where you can sit under a spreading old chestnut tree. There’s an adequate list of wines by the glass or you can choose a bottle from the retail section and have it brought to your table for a very reasonable $10 corkage.
