Restaurant Maria
Tasmania
At a glance
Restaurant Maria brings coastal Mediterranean dining to the end of Brooke Street Pier in Hobart, Tasmania. The restaurant overlooks the active harbour, with views towards Mt Wellington, placing the dining room within a working waterfront setting. Its location gives dinner a strong sense of place without separating the meal from the movement of the pier and harbour beyond.
The interior draws on the Mediterranean of the 1960s, with a design built around colour, curved forms and layered textures. The atmosphere combines a relaxed coastal sensibility with a more polished, romantic style. Details throughout the space are intended to create a feeling of stepping into another time, while the harbour outlook keeps the setting connected to contemporary Hobart.
The menu follows a Mediterranean-inspired approach shaped by flavours and cooking methods from across the region, with influences that stretch from Lisbon to Lebanon. Traditional techniques provide the foundation, while local and Australian-sourced produce gives the food a clear connection to place. The result is a dining style that focuses on fresh produce, established Mediterranean flavour combinations and a considered evening experience.
Restaurant Maria suits diners looking for a destination-style dinner with a strong setting and a distinctive interior. It can work for a relaxed meal by the water, a more occasion-focused evening or a gathering arranged through the venue's functions offering. The atmosphere is designed for lingering over Mediterranean-inspired food rather than quick, casual dining.
The restaurant is located at Brooke Street Pier, 12 Franklin Wharf, at the harbour end of the precinct. Bookings are available through Restaurant Maria, and the venue can be contacted directly for enquiries about dining arrangements, functions or dietary requirements. Restaurant Maria offers a coastal Mediterranean interpretation of Hobart dining, pairing regional produce with a setting shaped by harbour views, mountain scenery and 1960s-inspired design.
