Comments of Franklin Bar & Restaurant
M. C.Unexpectedly impressed by this restaurant - was not disappointed by a single dish.
The proteins in particular were excellent. The quail and lamb were some of the best I've had.
Very reasonably priced for food at this calibre.
Great local wines and craft beers too.
Not to be missed in Hobart.
N. R.The food and service was immaculate. We experienced the 8 (or 9) course banquet that was faultless. It was impossible to pick a favourite dish and the accompanying cocktails were exquisite. Our wait staff were friendly, efficient and very affable. Our food arrived quickly each time but with sufficient rest periods in between. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Tasmania. Looking forward to going again
H. D.I really enjoyed dining at Franklin
The food was excellent and the menu was innovative
Looking at some of the other dishes in the review section, I am very glad we got the set menu we did which was more fish focussed.
We did not like the vegetable in fish stew
The staff were attentive but not very warm.
The wine was a good selection and the bottle we shared was lovely
N. N.I had a fantastic dinner experience here about a month ago. I went with the "feed me" option - you'll get about nine or ten dishes in total (including desserts). Great food and awesome service. The industrial decor looks great too. I would definitely come back for more. Highly recommended.
S. c. (.Another highly praised restaurant which we checked out in Tasmania was Franklin restaurant in Hobart. We had booked for a late meal at the end of a busy day seeing the sights. The restaurants has large glass windows which are very visible from the street. The restaurant interior is paired back with concrete and industrial fittings, providing clean visual features. The open kitchen and bar provide the ability to watch what is going on. It is a busy restaurant but the staff are attentive. The ambience is buzzing and this makes for a great dining atmosphere.
The drinks list includes craft beer, interesting wine options, including natural wine and there's also a mix of cocktails and craft spirits.
The menu has a number of inviting options and was headed up with some exciting small bites. A must eat item is the scotch quail eggs. This tasty morsel has a crisp outer crust, a tasty mid layer of sobrasada and the yolk of the quail egg oozing out once cut into. The octopus and salt bush dumplings may not be the most appealing looking bite, however this was made up for by the texture and flavour. We were also provided some amazing complimentary bread.
The mushroom dish was full of umami from the braised wakame and egg yolk sabayan. This was the tasiest dish of the evening. With the oyster mushrooms providing a meaty texture.
Potatoes are certainly abundant in Hobart and were well put to use in the potato galette with an emulsion of huacatay, a Peruvian herb sourced locally on the tasman coast. This accompanied the main source of protein we ordered, the woodroasted littlewood lamb, served with braised almonds and pickled kohlrabi. This dish was very simple looking on the plate, however the flavour of the lamb was incredible and the almonds provided texture and the pickled kohlrabi cut through the richness of the lamb.
Franklin is great place to enjoy a meal in Tasmania to savour some local produce and wash ot down with a quality drinks list.
W. N.What an awesome experience. A warm welcome set the tone right for the evening. Then a delicious twist on the martini got us settled. The menu is a bit different and uses some great local produce including abalone! We started with some in house bread and then had a scotch quail egg (with gooey centre), abalone skewers and some salami with (I think) Russian mustard.
Then we had probably the most perfect dish I've had for a while. Wood smoked octopus served with wild herbs and currants. The octopus was perfectly cooked with a crunchy texture (cooked without being rubbery like it usually gets served) and the smoking was delicate and slowly built on the palate without ever getting overwhelming. We would go back for this dish alone!
We then finished up mains with a delicately cooked lamb belly in whey brine which came with a mix of natural flowers and leaves ranging from a parsley type flavour to aniseed.
This restaurant is in Hobart CBD so there's really no excuse not to visit this spot for an amazing culinary experience with excellent backup from the staff on the floor.
M. N.Everything we tried was really delicious , we definitely enjoyed our meal here. It was nice to see an open kitchen and have such a tasty meal in a non stuffy environment. Top notch!
C. C.Blown away by the food here. We were seated at the bar and was fortunate enough to watch the way food was prepared. Definitely one of the best degustation we have experienced. Highly recommend who appreciates fine food!
E. K.Franklin is situated in this large warehouse type building within the Hobart CBD. The high ceilings and the overall space of the place makes it very spacious. We ordered a number of dishes rather than going with the 9 courses "feed me" selection because we were not that hungry. Some dishes like the chicken liver and raw morwong are a hit but some others are a miss like the asparagus and the beef. They are lacking flavour for the price we are paying.

J. M.Hobart has a lot of beautifully preserved architecture, and the heritage-listed, Argyle Street art deco exterior of Franklin Hobart is no exception. Prior to housing the Mercury newspaper’s printing press, the minimalist restaurant space was once a 1930s car dealership called City Motors. Today you’ll find it sleek, dark and angular, dominated in the light-filled front room by an austere polished concrete and metal bar.
In the darkened rear, it has been softened with painted paling faux-walls, fifties-inspired furniture, and gauzy drapes that try to create some cosy lounge-room type nooks inside the industrial space. In the large open kitchen, centred around a wood-fire Scotch oven, you’ll find Analiese Gregory. You might recall Gregory’s cooking from her last Sydney venue, Bar Brosé, before she relocated to this island state. At Franklin her emphasis is showcasing Tasmanian produce, starting with Blackman Bay Pacific Oysters ($5/each) enhanced with a bright green dribble of elderflower vinegar.
Opening bites are best consumed with your fingers; starting with wafer-thin yeast crisps stuffed with generous, fat pink squiggles of rich, Chicken Liver Parfait ($4). Crisp Octopus Head and Saltbush Dumplings ($4/each) are tasty, especially when dragged through a golden sauce that evokes preserved lemons. The only disappointment is a too-oily, set Scotch Quail Egg ($5) encased in sobrasada, a spreadable Spanish sausage.
Gregory’s emphasis on local produce continues into our shared dishes with Bruny Island Wallaby ($20) served raw and delicate against a slight rumble of coffee brown butter offset by pickled pear. Eat it with a fork, or scoop it up with the edible blooms onto the accompanying buckwheat crisps, if you prefer.
For our drinking journey, we left ourselves in the hands of Manager Forbes Appleby, whose list leans towards pricy. He kicked us off with a co-branded drop from local star winemaker, Peter Dredge, the 2017 Dr. Franklin-Stein Pinot Noir. I don’t know if it did dishes like the Wood Roasted Octopus ($24) any favours. Regardless it was a pretty dish with a nice smoky undercurrent brightened up by sweet and sour currants.
With most of the list leaning towards natural, we gave our palates a break by ordering the four listed sakes. While quite slow to arrive, the four sakes all imported by Blackmarket, were bested by the pure intentions and natural rice characters of the Mutemuka Shuzo ‘Mutemuka’ ($15) from Koshi in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture. It went particularly well against the Tunnel Hill Oyster Mushrooms ($16) served with braised mekabu and egg yolk sabayon. The buttery seaweed mushroom combination was insanely good; well I think it was - I would have needed a second mouthful to really be sure. And therein lies the sticking point for me, refined as we tried to share four-ways a well-executed triangle of Wood Roasted King Edward Potato Galette ($20): the portions at Franklin are too small.
Combining four people with very small portions, left everyone wanting for more of each dish. Well, except for the Littlewood Lamb ($40), which, while still small, was dominated by unrendered fat and required too much sawing for my liking. With the benefit of hindsight, I’d opt for the ‘Feed Me’ ($85/head) option initially suggested by staff without any explanation that tackling the menu otherwise might lead to disappointment.
They redeem themselves by encouraging us to order the Crispy Potato ($16) dessert in duplicate. With lashings of salted caramel and a fluffy brown butter mousse, it’s a bit of a Gregory signature, travelling with her from Sydney, though here I hoped to taste more of the top-quality Tasmanian spuds.
J. M.An exceptional experience. The space is industrial-chic meets upscale residence. The menu is heavily based around the huge woodfire oven. Lamb ribs with a crispy fat to die for, a baked bread with lamb mine, yoghurt and mint, and a stunning burnt meringue with sheep's milk sorbet were the standout dishes. Friendly and chatty (yet totally professional) staff completed a wonderful evening.
M. W.A must visit place. The food is exceptional. The staff are lovely and friendly. I ordered the feed me vegetarian option and it exceeded my expectations. Will come back next time I am in Hobart
A. C.Very good food and natural wine selection. Interesting combination of ingredients that’s a burst of flavours in every bite. We had the hasselback Jerusalem Artichoke and it changed my life! We ordered the lamb and it was just simply delicious!Service was fantastic too!
N.Had a birthday dinner here at Franklin. I firmly believe that whenever you consume food, it should be as much about the experience as it is about the food. And it is the dining experience that sets Franklin apart. When I describe the cafe and food culture of Hobart to mainlanders it is Franklin that I am describing. I love the vibe and the friendly way that the staff engage with diners. This should be top of your list if you are visiting Hobart, or you live here now, like me.
S. J.Food was excellent! Really interesting menu and I can recommend the pork neck, lamb potato bread, grilled zucchini and potato galette. I was not a fan of the wines on the menu, but the quality of the food outweighed the wine!
S. P.Magnificent. We went the feed-me option and weren’t disappointed. The octopus and lamb dishes were highlights and the wine/beer matches kept us well lubricated :)
W. B.Definitely recommend the feed me menu! Sommelier was on point with some excellent pairings
J. K.My daughter and I were ‘walk ins’ and a little too early for dinner yet we were welcomed at the bar where we enjoyed a few luscious cocktails and delicious small platters of pre dinner appetisers. The staff were very pleasant and attentive and the general atmosphere was warm and friendly with a touch of class.
S. R.Excellent food by Peter Cooksley well supported by a wonderful wine list
N. D.First time there and came away totally impressed. Had friends from the mainland down and so the pressure was on to nail the dining experience. Frank blew us away with quality food from the first plate to the last plate. Great service kept the drinks on par but not over the top. Staff there actually look like they enjoyed the night as much as we did. 6 people on the table including a Vegatarian left totally impressed and satisfied. Up there with the best in Hobart. Thank you.
M. J.Great atmosphere, service and food. I don't normally like pate but my god this was smooooth!
Y. L.Ever changing menu to reflect seasonal choices. Clearly a lot of effort goes into the menu. Generous serving sizes for mains. Great atmosphere. Love the space. Very friendly staff.
N. M.Amazing food and incredible wine! A must in Hobart
A. L.Beauty of simplicity!
The staff, the chefs everything was just amazing.
B. P.An amazing dining experience with exceptional staff both on the floor and in the kitchen.
My partner and I went for the 'feed me' menu with matched wines. It's really well done.
The lamb and octopus were stand outs for me. It's always so satisfying visiting a restaurant that bases its menu around seasonal and local produce in Tassie.
I would recommend Franklin to anyone. Don't miss out
m. p.First time we've ever been here. We were well greeted n ushered to our table. We chose to sit inside with the comfort of cool temperatures. The restaurant wasn't crowded n we had most of the inner to ourselves. We went for a 3 course meal n it was the best meal i have ever tasted. The tomato cold soup was utmost delicious with it's natural flavour n beautiful smell of herbs n spices. Was very impressive. Cooked to our perfection n liking. Flavours were subtle n tenderly placed on the plates. Meat was cooked beautifully n so was the fish. Then our souffle appeared with its puffiness n Beautiful taste of passionfruit n coconut. Was yummy. We also got a surprise plate with our anniversary greeting sweet token..... Loved it. The waiters were tremendous n gave us all the attention we needed. Absolutely! Highly recommended
K. K.Innovative menu. Friendly service, great atmosphere and modern. Small portions making it feel pricy.
S. F.Showed up as a walk in for dinner, the staff made extra effort to make me feel welcome.
They show an impeccable standard of service, like as an example, on my enquiries about adding dishes on a tasting menu, they take care to make me have them when they suit better between the other courses, proposing the paired wine aswell.
the quality of the food was exceptional, and, the sometimes really unusual combination of ingredient, has never disappointed leaving me surprised one course after the other.
The location make you feel connected with the philosophy of the restaurant.
I think there is no doubt that Franklin is a must as an expirience for any food lover in Hobart.
F. R.Fantastic experience. We just dropped by. Ended up staying 2.5 hrs for early dinner. Squid was YUM. The cappacio was delicious too. Wine selection was OK, but not that extensive. HOWEVER, the people and the service was really, really nice. Discrete and professional. Well done guys. We plan to be back
M. K.International feel restaurant in the heart of Hobart. I booked this for my partners birthday and overall had a really great experience. The service was awesome, our waitress was really sweet and attentive. The reason why we chose to visit Franklin was because the reviews on the food where hyped. It definitely has some incredible dishes, the pate and the lamb belly really impressed us. The other dishes seemed to roll into one. A large portion of the menu are wet dishes and vegetarian with a formaula of a raw vegetable, herbed sauce and crunchy garnish. Felt a bit repetitive. 4 stars because they really are exceptional, but unlike other restaurants for us in Hobart we wouldn’t be rushing back.
D. B.Came highly recommended but did disappoint. Wine list has great selections and I see where they're heading with it but unfortunately so few Australian wines, why when you can get french style reds now? Menu was a challenge to construct a meal but we thought we got it right until half way through. Fritters, lovely, cod and hot sauce, dish of the night, clams not far behind and that's where things went down. Gnudi was almost the same in terms in sauce and garnish. The veal was undercooked for the cut (I love rare beef but when the cut has so much sinew, it just needs to be cooked out). To the waitstaff that was clearly complaining about no tip to a colleague when you forgot our jackets, I'm sorry but the whole team gets the tip if it all comes together. The service was professional not standout.
M. H.Holy moly. What an experience!!! Such enthusiastic staff and our waitress was so knowledgeable. The kitchen was so mesmerising to watch and the food was just so epic. I made a little happy dance with every dish it was so amazing. So difficult to choose a favourite dish!
C. F.Last minute offer of a babysitter appeared, as did a last minute table at Franklin! Magic!
Chose "feed me" (chefs choice) which was 8 or 9 shared dishes between the two of us. Think of degustation, but there was a lot of food. I'm piscaterian, forgot to say when booked, wouldn't have blamed them if this was hard on short notice, but it wasn't. Food was phenomenal. Wine was phenomena - some really good choices of you enjoy natural wines, but I saw some more classic options on the wine list too. Service was phenomenal: staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. It's not a cheap meal, but it's very fairly priced for outstanding food. All local produce, incredible environment, amazing wine, friendly and welcoming staff. This was the most amazing dinner I've had in a while, it was truly a joy.
L.Such fantastic food. Service was great too. Stand out dish was definitely the octopus. Best we've ever eaten. Pork neck and lamb both were great too. You must try the potato dessert too but a special mention must go to the plum clafoutis.
M. T.The food was beautifully presented with delicious flavours. We had the octopus head and saltbush dumplings, wood roasted octopus, and the wood roasted lamb. The service was a bit disappointing, especially for a 2 hatred restaurant, with us having to chase up service for drinks that hadn't arrived in time to go with the food.
A. W.Lovely restaurant, great service, and they are legitimately trying for interesting food here. Not everything works though, and you have to know going in that this is basically a degustation menu no matter what. Portions are often laughably small, so you're looking at ordering up a storm. Once you do, prices aren't too bad, and sometimes the dishes are a real winner, but sometimes they are also mediocre. Also, never seen a smaller portion of sake in my life, served as if it's a shot of spirit, rather than a wine.
D. M.The menu on the night offered a good selection and when the meals arrived they were great. Especially the duck.
We ate during the early seating and the service was a little lack lustre. We had to ask when when one of our dishes was going to be served (an hour and half after our booking time), this was 15 minutes after our waitress asked if would like anything else whilst clearing the table. We half-jokingly replied we would like the rest of our meal.
A. H.This is one of the BEST restaurants I have ever visited. No exaggeration! The food is incredible and service unbelievable. The wines selected for me were some of the most interesting wines I have ever tasted.
This restaurant is a must for anyone visiting Hobart.
R. W.Good food but we expected more. We choose for the ‘feed me’ experience and that was probably not the best choice. We saw many nice dishes, but not at our table. If you go I would recommend to choose by yourself and not go for the ‘feed me’.
I. L.Love the ambience: laid back without losing the cool! Open kitchen that shows it all. The dishes were innovative, nicely done with lovely presentation. Even though there were supposedly the 2 hour time restraint with early dining times, we did not feel rushed at any time.
D. R.I was a little disappointed to realize after further research some of the wine used for pairing was actually Franklin's own vineyard disguised as something more interesting. Food was good but nothing spectacular, service was great, some truly passionate and inspired humans on the floor.
l. v.#Update - downgrading to 3 stars because I've experienced The Glass House's menu.
Greeat service and atmosphere. Food was innovative, fresh and tasty BUT portions were tiny! Definitely not the type of menu to "share" as promoted by the staff. The recommended sake was good but again $15 each for roughly 20ml glass .... despite the downside, i would recommend as a one off experience.
S. S.Some of the best food I've eaten in my 30 years in Hobart has been at Franklin.
I've been back twice and I'll be back a third time. The atmosphere is awesome too. As is the theme of the bar and the feel. One of my favorite places.
B. M.This restaurant was fantastic, loved the minimalist aesthetic, and sitting at the bar around the kitchen watching the chefs do their thing was a great experience.
The service was helpful and impeccably timed throughout our dinner, the staff were observant and very pleasant.
The food sealed the deal for us though, the raw kingfish to start was incredible, followed up by raw grim cape beef, a whole flathead and the most decadent serving of pork belly I've ever had.
This is an absolute gem in the middle of Hobart which can easily compete with the best that Melbourne has to offer.
A highlight of our stay here in Hobart.
Y. H.We ordered a number of smaller tapas style dishes at Franklin bar. The food was very good, however, we showed up without a reservation and were only offered bar seats despite there being more tables. We felt a little bit like we were forgotten about in the bar corner. Otherwise, their food was good, pricey but good.
S. W.I loved the look, feel of the restaurant, some of the shared plates my guests and I thought was a little too salty for our palate, potato galette. Good food too, most of the waiting staff were friendly and not pretentious except for one in particular. This could be improved.
A. I.Great ambience and fantastic high quality food
G. S.Exceptional!
Staff were attentive, service was amazing and the good was delicious.
Nice selection of wines with some interesting natural selections as well as others that may satisfy drinkers wanting to explore some great Tasmanian wines.
M. B.We had the oysters then the hanger steak and whole chicken with potatos, char grilled vegetables, and greens. Followed by the fruit crumble and charred banana and holy moly.... It was amazing... All of it! We also had some wine which was lovely. Service was attentive but not over the top. I'd definitely come back
A. L.Gorgeous airy space and amazing food using super fresh ingredients, INCREDIBLE wine. The staff was so nice even giving us recommendations for when we visit Melbourne.
E. T.Calamari was excellent but the octopus was very salty. Crispy potato and brown butter was extremely rich. It was basically a slab of butter between two wafer thin potato "galettes". The service as ANNOYING. Waiter told me TWICE i had to vacate the seat by 8.30pm - the last time he told me this was at 7.10pm and i was already onto my dessert. I felt rushed throughout the dinner by the waiter. However the kitchen staff at the bar were extremely friendly and had great recommendations.
L. S.Disappointed to see that the “wood roasted lamb rack” we ordered didn’t even see the beautiful big wood fire oven they operate here. We dined at the bar and I watched the chef cook it the entire time in the combi oven. And to make things worse he cut the ends off along with the bones and threw them in the bin before plating! These are the best bits! When you’re charging $40+ for a dish it should be done better. Staff were also a little pretentious and didn’t seem to have time explain the dishes they were serving before rushing off back to the bar for a chat. On a positive note, great snacks were saltbush and calamari fritter and the chicken liver parfait. Won’t rush back.
K. S.As many have said, the service was on point - great staff who are genuinely eager to help you. We went for the per person option which was a great choice as we got to sample a wide range of dishes. Would certainly recommend this place!
B. H.This review need to be written as some of the others are, in my opinion, incorrect.
This is a brilliant place. The fitout is industrial and sophisticated whilst remaining inviting and warm, with a fire and timber breaking up the concrete and steel.
The food is stunning. With a strong local focus, from the "Australian negroni" made from local distilleries (amazing, one of the best negronis I've had), to the intelligent and creative menu.
The kitchen is a spectacle in itself. This is a smooth, professional operation, each chef seemingly in tune with each other with perfect timing and no stress or yelling to be seen; we enjoyed watching the care and attention that each element of every dish being prepared was given.
Highlight dishes were the bone marrow rice, and lamb neck. Yum. Sublime!
The service was a-grade. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive when required and unobtrusive when required.
Wish I was a local so I could come again sooner than I'll be able to!
I. N.Interesting and excellent food, but what blew me away was their attention to detail for my companion with a variety of food sensitivities. Her menu was similar to our set menu, without her allergens and with personal service.
S. D.Absolutely love the food at Franklin. It was probably my favourite meal out of my entire trip to Tassie. Service was great and I highly recommend their whole wood roasted chicken. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Tassie.
A. K.Really enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere here, more than anywhere else I'd been in Hobart as a visitor.
In the 3 times I went in one trip, the service was *sometimes* slow but made up for by the fact that the wait staff were helpful, friendly and accommodating.
M. P.Crispy potato with brown butter and salted caramel desert was unreal!! Service was really good and the atmosphere was very cool. Will make Franklin apart of every Hobart trip from now on!
D. N.Unusual menu composed of small helpings of innovative dishes. Order as many as you like in any order. Great selection of wines and spirits too.
A. B.This was seriously good food. Allow me to repeat this was seriously good food. Each choice was served with a great explanation, and wine pairings from local small batch producers. Not a bad choice on the menu.
A. B.Interesting menu, fantastic wine line and stunning food. Was not disappointed by any dish. Standouts were the abalone and lamb.
A. K.Go to Franklin's. Just do it. And definitely make a reservation. If you're 2, you'll definitely be sitting at the bar, but it gives you an excuse to see the prep chefs at work. Menu changes daily, and uses some amazing local produce. Could not recommend it more.
D.Friendly service, good beers on tap, and a well priced menu (impressive selection of parmas, by the way). Great ambience provided by a muso on the acoustic guitar on the Saturday night we visited, too.
B.The service, produce, fit-out & overall experience was exceptional! Is recommend booking, although the front section does take 'walk-ins'. We were early & enjoyed & awesome spot at the bar.
J. T.Loved the ‘feed me’ option. Great pace and selection of dishes left completely satisfied. And very reasonably priced for the quality and range. Will be back!
M. R.Superb menu, great vibe.. expensive..but worth it.
C. B.Quite a unique place. Striking 'brutalist' decor, big drink selection and delicious, high-quality meals. May not be to everyone's taste but I found it had a great atmosphere.
Y. S.Food and flavour is good but their service is the letdown with inattentive and forgetful staff. Love the vibe of the place however it seems like there is no air conditioning in the restaurant which is hot.
T. R.Food was incredible. Get the octopus.
Drinks menu is interesting and well thought out.
Service strikes the right balance- attentive but not intrusive.
H. K.What a fantastic place! We loved everything and Maddie, the waitress who took care of us on the night was amazing and very friendly. Beautiful food and great atmosphere. Thank you!
L. P.Without a doubt a most excellent culinary journey where each offerring automatically and surprisingly enticed one into a new experience. Every, every dish was astonishingly magnificent...thank you Chef
J. L.Food was good however the servings sizes are really small. The mains could not adequately be 'shared' as recommended by the waiter.
M. H.First time her it was brilliant. Last time less so due to an epic fail with one dish (Raw beef with buttermilk -- It's as bad as it sounds). I am still giving it 5 stars because one failure does not invalidate what they are trying to do.
C. E. V.Delicious food. All dishes were impeccable down to the rye bread made in-house, best I’ve had so far.
E. G.Delicious food and amazing staff. Totally worth going when you're in the area. We were lucky enough and got a spot at the bar when we showed up without booking. However, I would recommend you book a table to avoid disappointment.
S. T. P. F.Great staff who really know how to make a drink. Ask for the vegan dessert, even if you're not vegan. You won't be disappointed.
M. D.Excellent meal and service. We had the tasting menu and it was perfectly proportioned and delicious.
K. H.Amazing!! I loved the cool vibe of this restaurant with the open kitchen and the safe very knowledgeable. The food was next level ever dish I tried it was like a party in my mouth the way they match there flavours!!
M.This place is nothing short of phenomenal. Eleanor & Jackson went above and beyond to top off an already unforgettable experience in Hobart. Thank you x
M. C.Second time here and worried 😯 it would not be as good as I remembered. It was as good as my memory. Spoil yourself and have the Feed me option. And the 🍒 cider.
M. B.Food was ok (calamari with nettle was great!) service was friendly but really disjointed and the place was freezing cold, coats and scarves shouldn't be needed...style vs practicality I guess?
J. C.Can’t fault this place. Had a great meal with my parents. Service was fast and knowledgeable and the food was fantastic. 10/10!
D. T.Unbelievable experience. One of the best food I have ever had in Hobart. Must try 😍
T. D.Food was okay , don't know why everyone recommend this restaurant for the best dinner in Hobart
H. B.one of the best dining experiences ever
R. D.Amazing food and wine. Every dish was next level. A really nice space as well.
T. F.Very nice vibe, lovely wine, food was pretty nice but over hyped execution, all nice fresh ingredients though
A. V.The place and food are excellent. A bit expensive and small portions, but I guess that should be expected from the "foody" type of restaurant.
N. N.Great service, helpful and the most accomdating staff. Super helpful with dietary requirements. Over all great evening. Will definetly be back
N. T.Incredible food, natural wine selection, ambiance and service. A highlight of our trip.
C. B.Not great. Cold polished concrete expensive prices and the food nothing special.
Seriously skip this place there are many far better places to go
N. J.Food was lovely, would have liked more seafood on the menu but overall the food was a 4/5. Service was a little disappointing
P. A.The food and wine were very good but the service was sullen and slow. Beware if you're not cool enough for this place!
T. P.One of the best dinning experiences I've ever had. A beautiful space and a truly passionate team.
H. C. @. M. M.Amazing venue and team. Can’t wait to go back
J. L.Lamb was hella tender and the potato salted caramel dessert was bomb. The service was very good.
P. L.Franklin Bar & Restaurant is now closed permanently sadly.
W. D.Very nice food. wood roasting is their thing- the roast chicken is the bomb! Yumm
