Born in Brunswick in North Hobart is an Instagrammer's paradise in terms of their beautifully constructed meals and Jardan-esque fit out. It's a little more experimental and straddles the line between breakfast and lunch in a more serious way than what us Australians have come to know as brunch. If you're not feeling adventurous, they do great scrambled eggs and bacon.

Breakfast/Lunch: Bear With Me in South Hobart is fairly new, but does good coffee and has a diverse range of breakfast and lunch options. The chef is from Chin Chin (a very, very popular Asian fusion restaurant in Melbourne), so some meals have a Thai/South East Asian influence.

Restaurant: Templo in North Hobart/Hobart is a teeny tiny little restaurant that seats around twenty people – quite communal – and the food is excellent. Modern Australian / Italian. The chef's menu is around $65 and is definitely worth it - as is the paired wines option. One of our faves.
