The 20 Best Restaurants in Hobart, Australia | Eater

"After leaving his hometown for Melbourne, Con Vailas came back a few years ago to a Hobart far more bustling than the one he left. He returned to open Born in Brunswick, inspired by Melbourne cafe culture, in hip North Hobart. Floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights let the sun shine on the restaurant’s plant-lined walls, while the menu features Aussie staples like avocado toast, hotcakes, and potato hash. But chef Josh Retzer also pushes the bounds of cafe fare by incorporating native ingredients and foraged herbs. Do not miss his weekend specials, like cured wallaby on cheddar polenta or octopus okonomiyaki with saltbush, a salty native herb. [$ - $$]" - Audrey Bourget
