Great new Izakaya in Elizabeth Street (Izakaya - fancy for Japanese bar with small snacks). The sake selection is small at the moment, but I am sure it will grow and the tapas-style small dishes helped with our table, who just wanted to try everything on the menu. Yum.

Shopping
The iconic Salamanca Market is on only on Saturdays. Amongst the quintessential touristy stuffed tassie devil, you can also find some 'up and coming' local jewelers, artisan producers and local whisky distillery's doing some tastings - yum yum.

This is one of our best known gourmet grocery stores in Tasmania....It supplies most of Hobart's homes with locally grown, freshly supplied fruit and veg, but is is more than a grocery store. You can find wonderful, imported cheeses and small goods and shop for a local gift to take home to a special friend.
