Dier Makr

Bookmarked this place and had very high expectations due to the excellent reviews. However, the food was overrated and not worth the price. Some of the dishes were plain weird, like the mussels with baby corn. It did not match at all. Alot of the dishes were also very salty. Portions are small as well. This was also the only restaurant during our whole trip to show us the tipping screen (on the credit card machine), making me feel obliged to tip them on top of the already expensive (for the food quality and amount) meal. Just to be clear, this is not our first fine dining meal. But it certainly is one of the rare few times we walk away feeling scammed by the good reviews.

This restaurant is an absolute must if you’re visiting Tasmania—you can’t miss it. I opted for the pescatarian menu, and every single dish was outstanding. In fact, I found their pescatarian offerings even more special than what a meat-based menu might have been bc they use very unique seafood sourced from Tasmania. My favorite was the mushroom dish—the sauce had an incredible depth of umami, perfectly complemented by the salty potato bread. It was simply delicious. Beyond the food, the overall experience was fantastic. The vibe is effortlessly cool, and the pricing is very reasonable. The staff are fun, welcoming, and make the high-quality dining experience feel casual and comfortable. I also tried the non-alcoholic pairing, and I was impressed by how much thought went into each selection—they complemented the dishes beautifully. Overall, an amazing restaurant that I’d highly recommend!

Second time I have had the pleasure of eating here. The service and food was impeccable. The wine pairing was spot on and we couldn’t have been happier. A night with great food, awesome service, fantastic organic wine and the best music on vinyl. We will be back.

The service was very friendly, professional and nice! Didn't bombard for tips at the end. The food - some was delicious some was quite salty, but I guess it's because of the sauce. My partner liked the food, I didn't enjoy them as much. They do have quite an extensive wine and beverage list though.

The people here are lovely, and the place has a cool vibe. They serve well-prepared organic food and wine, with clear skill and effort behind each dish. While we appreciated the quality, the overall experience didn’t fully resonate with us. Since the New Year, the prices have increased, and aside from the organic aspect, we found it hard to justify the value. We understand the challenges in the hospitality industry, and ultimately, we’re all seeking a great night out with enjoyable food – which this place does provide. I’d recommend it to others who appreciate this style, but for us, it feels more like a one-time experience. The atmosphere leans a bit too hipster for the price point. Still, credit where it’s due – the effort and passion behind the food are undeniable.

Where do I start 🤔. WOW. Our hostess with the mostest was just simply fabulous. With every dish served she was able to relay every detail of where the produce came from and the background of the supplier. I didn’t catch her name but hope she knows who she is. The chefs!! (Who are all cute as) What a fabulous group of people who you can see absolutely love what they do, what they put on the plate and expressing the passion in highlighting the local produce. I can not thank them all enough. The venue is so very warm, welcoming and blends with what the team are serving, right down to the vinyls being played, the music selection in fabulous. The food, all I can say it is something you have to experience for yourself. I can’t fault any of it. The highlight was the fresh catch of the day being Mackrel paired with local grown tomatoes fused together to create something just magical. Please do treat yourself to this experience and enjoy xxxxx

First night in Hobart and did not disappoint. The menu started with a delicious tasting plate and only got better with each dish. All dishes were 5 star, the highlight was the beef tartare with mushroom, and the strawberry pepper dessert. Love the paddock to plate organic philosophy. The staff and chefs were all so hospitable and knowledgeable with the menu and products sourced. We went without matching wines and their by the glass selection is fantastic.

We've been waiting 4 months for our visit to Dier Makr and it lived up to all our expectations. Both and food and service were excellent - I'll be dreaming of the corn and mussels tarts for years to come.

Tonight I experienced an eight course masterpiece at Dier Makr, truly are artists crafting the food. Eight course meal each course totally different truly a work of art. Thank you for the amazing time tonight

Dier Makr has all the ingredients to make me fall in love with it (restaurant style, not marriage style), and yet... I walked away underwhelmed. Or, not really... maybe just whelmed (are we in France?). Here's the thing--recounting individual dishes after my dinner date, I was pretty excited about each (though the main flavour of the night was "salty"), but my response for the entire dinner was "it was ok". I think it felt like it was missing a main meat course, or something, like the big shebang wasn't there? I'm confused and upset. The thing about Dier Makr, though, is that the menu is seasonal and changes month to month and sometimes (often?) week to week, so I only need to give it a few weeks and it'll be different, and I'll give it another chance, and perhaps then I'll be blown away. Watch out for the update, I guess. Side note: if I was rating this on drinks alone, it would get five stars. The first time I visited was just for drinks (and a couple of bar snacks), and after a round or two of menu item cocktails (all delicious) my friends and I challenged the bar with a couple of rounds of specific orders, which they totally knocked out of the park. We left that night a little bit in love with the place. Before the cocktails, we shared a bottle of wine, which came with a little handwritten note of staff opinion about the wine. Every single wine in the cellar had one. I wanted to read through that cellar like it was a library. Honestly, five stars.

Dier Makr=The Tits. I love this place. Booked, arrived early, no worries, walked in the wine room to take a pick of the selection and hold ya breath Shia Lebouf walks in and recommends a delicious red he said he could sell that wine to anyone and i straight believe that!! Shia's beautiful partner was running the floor like a ballerina floating throughout the restaurant whilst also training a new staff member A+. The food was full of flavour and moreish as fuc!! and my favourite part was the chat from everyone on staff was upbeat and fun if i could have added anything i would have put a carb under the oxtail to slop up the sauce but im a little piggy . Now the cocktails stand alone were balanced and delicious the best cocktails in Hobart and would contest the best cocktails in Australia/world this guy should be entering competition's representing Dier Makr and Tasmania. Great work ill see yo next time
