Point to Hobart on a map, and your finger may slip down to Antarctica. Touted as one of five global gateways to the “Last Continent,” its cooler climate lends itself to growing and producing some of the freshest and tastiest produce in Australia. In the 1800s, its remote, isolated location cemented itself as a significant penal colony, where convicts built stately Federation, Georgian, and Gothic Revival edifices that now house some of the city’s most important buildings. From hidden omakase to oven-fresh pastries, Hobart’s literal farm-to-fork, dock-to-dish (you get the gist) dining scene has surprises around every sandstone corner.
