Have now been several times and this is the first review. I cannot rate this place highly enough. The food was fantastic, staff extremely pleasant and food came out really quick. I do recommend booking ahead as sometimes they can be booked out. Definitely one of the stand outs in the North of Tasmania.

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.

Hobart City Center

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.

Easy access along cruise dock ( 2-min walk). Beautiful setting on the wharf. Excellent menu & amazing service. We didn’t know it was even in that location until we googled ‘Hobart restaurants’. I’m sure more crew and passengers would love to dine here if it were advertised on the outside of the building. We will definitely return on our next cruise! 10 stars ⭐️
