During our meal we had 3 different staff providing service which resulted in a missed food order and a less interactive whisky tasting experience. The food quality was exceptional and the seamless integration of historic and modern buildings was very well done

The Shed Restaurant

Granton

About the restaurant

Beautiful restaurant with stunning Derwent River & vineyard views.
The original Shed was built on the Mt Nassau property in the early 1900's and met with it's demise in the 1967 bushfires. Built to replace the original Sheds were a Tractor and Shearing shed.
In 2021 work began on "The Shed" Restaurant which has been built in the exact same footprint as the original Sheds and some of the wood from the old Shed were used to make the table bases.
With our incredible head Chef Andrew Russell and our Restaurant Manager Jessica Johnson leading our team of wine and food experts, there is no better spot to sit and enjoy an amazing meal with awards winning wine.

Seventeen floors above the River Derwent, the Point Revolving Restaurant at Wrest Point radiates ‘special occasion.’ When the doors open and the view unfolds, you’ll understand why The Point has been a backdrop of memorable dining 40 years over.

This Hobart restaurant is committed to people, produce and place. Our French-inspired menu weaves some of Tasmania’s finest ingredients into a dining experience punctuated with theatre and flair. Like the sound of Crepe Suzettes cooked at your table with flair by our wait staff?

About the restaurant

At Old Wharf, we stand in the historical location of former jetties, piers, homes and taverns from where, since the 1800s colourful traders, merchandisers, exporters and explorers have shipped Tassie’s renowned produce across the globe.

Chef Simon Pockran and his team acknowledge this history by creating a menu that celebrates and explores Tasmania’s traditional family dishes. Reimagined and refined, this menu gives the nod to our past while championing our celebrated produce and boutique Tasmania growers.

Found this place on a last minute google search. So glad I did. As non-locals it was an amazing place to have a meal. Could not fault anything from the staff, food, ambiance and restaurant decor. If I am ever back in Hobart, I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

My partner and I had an excellent night. The staff were friendly and courteous, the dinner was top notch, and the entertainment was brilliant. Next time we're in Tassie we'll be heading to Ulverstone to enjoy another great night out at Island State Brewing - The Pier.
