Best Regional Restaurants in Tasmania

Just 40 minutes from Hobart along the River Derwent, The Agrarian Kitchen combines a restaurant, food store and cooking school in one beautifully run farm-based destination. Thanks to head chef Stephen Peak, over 90% of the produce used on the ever-changing menu is grown and harvested on the property. With a set lunch menu, visitors can expect to taste test smoked beef sausage, polenta with mushroom and alpine cheese, and parsnip miso caramel, to name a few.

If you’re looking for a quick day trip or weekend getaway, the Huon Valley is just the spot. And no visit would be complete without stopping by Home Hill Winery. The on-site restaurant is one of our favourite regional dining spots in Tasmania, pairing award-winning cool-climate wines with seasonal dishes and sweeping views of Mount Wellington.

If you’re travelling to Launceston this summer, be sure to add one of our favourite regional restaurants to your itinerary: Stillwater. Overlooking the Tamar River, Stillwater Restaurant is set in a restored 1830s flour mill. Today, this seasonally changing eatery is renowned for its passion towards local farmers and producers. Stillwater’s menu includes the likes of Boomer Bay oysters, Cape Grim beef tartare, crispy Scottsdale pork belly, and much more. And the vegetarian menu is every bit as considered as the rest.

Perched above the coastline at Bream Creek, Oirthir brings together sweeping ocean views and a refined menu centred around seasonal Tasmanian produce. The intimate dining experience champions local seafood and native ingredients, with an exciting menu blending Scottish roots with French techniques. Woodfired seaweed soda bread, Bangor haggis, and blackcurrant sorbet are just a few of the creative dishes that make Oirthir one of Tasmania’s most exciting regional dining experiences.

In northern Tasmania’s Tamar Valley, Timbre Kitchen makes its home at Velo Vineyard. Next door to the cellar door, Timbre delivers a dining experience that pairs perfectly with the region’s cool climate wines. Dishes get a workout in the wood-fired oven, while the menu draws inspiration from local produce and global flavours alike. For the full experience, opt for one of the set menus showcasing some of the kitchen’s standout dishes.

Impeccable service, modern Australian food and revolving views of Hobart combine to provide a truly memorable experience at The Point Restaurant. Celebrating the best of Tasmania’s produce, the three-course set menu features dishes like market fish, confit duck and local Tasmanian cheeses, while a dedicated vegetarian menu makes the experience just as enjoyable for plant-based diners.

Just 15 minutes from Hobart CBD, Frogmore Creek pairs cool-climate wines with a polished dining experience set against the picturesque Coal River Valley. Inside the rustic homestead-style restaurant, the menu celebrates Tasmania’s finest produce with dishes from the land, the sea and the garden, all thoughtfully matched to the winery’s award-winning drops, especially its acclaimed Pinot Noir.
