Old Wharf Restaurant

Old Wharf Restaurant occupies a historically significant setting at 18 Hunter Street, Hobart, where former jetties, piers, homes and taverns once connected Tasmania with traders, exporters and explorers. That maritime past informs the restaurant’s identity, giving the venue a strong connection to the produce and commercial history of the island.

The kitchen takes familiar dishes as a starting point, then reshapes them with a Tasmanian perspective. Classic food is reworked in a refined style, with the menu designed to acknowledge Hobart’s past while focusing on the quality and character of local ingredients. Tasmania’s celebrated produce sits at the centre of the offering, alongside ingredients sourced from boutique Tasmanian growers.

Old Wharf Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, making it suitable for different types of dining across the day. The approach is grounded in recognisable dishes rather than novelty for its own sake, with regional produce and a sense of place shaping the experience. Guests looking for food that reflects Tasmania, while retaining links to traditional culinary ideas, will find that balance in the restaurant’s menu.

The venue also caters for a range of dining needs through dedicated vegetarian, vegan and children’s menus. Group bookings are available, so the restaurant can accommodate shared meals and larger gatherings alongside regular dining. Its combination of historical context, locally focused food and flexible meal options makes it a practical choice for visitors exploring Hobart, families seeking a broader menu and groups planning a meal together.

Located on Hunter Street, Old Wharf Restaurant brings together Hobart’s port history and contemporary Tasmanian dining. The setting provides the context, while the kitchen’s treatment of classic dishes and emphasis on local growers provide the defining style. Breakfast, lunch and dinner reservations can be arranged directly with the venue.
