Hobart<\/a>. I had made up my mind about Tasmania’s capital, or so I thought, on a family holiday in 2008. We caught the Spirit of Tasmania over, the ship’s screening of The Corpse Bride\u00a0<\/em>was interrupted by the sounds of children vomiting, we drove around a lot, I got the creeps at Port Arthur, Cradle Mountain was fun, it was cold. You’ll notice that Hobart, or nipaluna, doesn’t feature very much into these recollections, that’s because besides a good Chinese restaurant, I don’t remember it. That was my position: unmemorable. Then I grew up. Dark Mofo and MONA were on my radar, I read my first Richard Flanagan novel and I’d heard friends in hospitality whisper about the city’s dining scene. OK fine. I’ll check it out again, this time with adult eyes. How wrong I initially was.<\/p>\n

Hobart’s whole thing is that it’s greener, more rugged, with cleaner water and air than anywhere else in Australia. You get great local native oysters, leatherwood honey, abalone, Tasmania truffles, not to mention you’re always a short drive to the mountains and sea. This was the drawcard for some of the country’s best chefs, like Analiese Gregory and Adam James, who now live in nipaluna. And if you’re after some great local eating, we’ve compiled this list of restaurants in Hobart<\/a> for your lonely mouth.<\/p>\n

Thought experiment: say you have a weekend in Hobart, what do you do? If all that comes up is to visit Salamanca Markets, then we’re here to help. From cooking classes to hiking kunanyi, find 10 things to do next time you’re in Hobart, below.<\/p>\n
