The AstorGrill

Occupying a 1920s Art Deco building in central Hobart, this is a grill room built around Tasmanian produce and a considered wine list. Lunch runs Wednesday to Friday and dinner Tuesday to Saturday, with the kitchen closed Sundays, Mondays and public holidays. The style is what the owners call casual-elegant: aged meats, local seafood and seasonal plates in a room that keeps its old-world proportions. Dietary requirements, including gluten-free, are handled without fuss. Long a steady presence on Macquarie Street, it draws a mix of city diners and visitors looking for something more traditional than Hobart's newer waterfront rooms.
