The 20 Best Restaurants in Hobart, Australia | Eater

"You’ll feel a bit smug if you manage to get one of the 20 seats at Templo (especially when Dark Mofo brings crowds to town), an Italian restaurant on one of Hobart’s quieter streets. You’ll feel even better if that seat is at the communal table, where you get a good view of chef Matt Breen and his acolytes in the kitchen. Handmade pastas, like gnocchetti with big chunks of slow-cooked lamb, are the main draw. For 70 Australian dollars ($48), the chef’s menu gives you a taste of everything on offer. A short stroll away, the team has recently opened Sonny, an exceptional wine bar with a tight menu (including pasta). Don’t choose. Go to both. [$$$]" - Audrey Bourget
