Our Ingredients Tell a Local Story

Hobart Kitchen believes that the most delicious meals are produced with the freshest ingredients. That's why we collaborate with Tasmanian farmers, fishers, and food artisans to deliver the best seasonal produce to your table. Everything we serve, from Bruny Island oysters to herbs cultivated in the Derwent Valley, is sourced locally whenever possible. Not only do these ingredients taste better, but they also reflect the region's care, climate, and character. Our kitchen team creates the menu based on what's in season, ensuring that each dish emphasises freshness, quality and sustainability.
By choosing locally, we support small producers and assist to preserve Tasmania's culinary culture. We pay regular visits to our suppliers, learn about their growing and harvesting processes and base our offerings on their best fruit. We feel that knowing where your food comes from enhances the dining experience. Our open kitchen is more than simply a place to see food being prepared; it is also a place to learn about the process from beginning to end. When you dine with us, you are not only tasting Tasmania, but also supporting it, one delicious mouthful at a time.
