Another city

A quick trip to Hobart this week for work - site inspections and sponsor meetings for the Awards.

This is my third visit in as many years and in that short time there has been a lot of change.

A very strong local food and wine culture continues to flourish - lots of great cafes and bars, bakeries and patisseries and restaurants.



Tried to get to Garagistes for dinner which was highly recommended and had excellent feedback on Tripadvisor.

I was curious (and nervous) about a menu featuring fried pigs ears, smoked eel and caramelised salsify. 

Unfortunately closed on Tuesday night - so headed to Salamanca and dinner at Smolt

Loved the small roast chicken, with kipflers, shallots. So simple, but so good.

A Moorilla Estate Pinot.

It was wet and chilly outside - but I was in heaven.

PS. Everyone is talking about MONA.
We had a quick behind the scenes tour of the Museum (it is closed to the public Tuesday).
Will be back for the longer version next trip.
Best way to get there I hear is by boat.
