Criterion

Criterion Street Cafe Ticks All The Right Boxes

Cafes, Destination, Establishment, Reviews, TasmaniaBy Chrissie MathesonFebruary 20, 2017Leave a comment

If you want a change from the street food at the Farm Gate markets in Bathurst Street, where do you go? Ha, just round the corner and into Criterion.

Honey Badger

What Do A Honey Badger and Plato Have In Common?

ReviewsBy Chrissie MathesonFebruary 13, 2017Leave a comment

The honey badger is the badass of the animal world. I think I want to be a honey badger. Unless it’s the one who sacrificed his balls for a cafe in Hobart.

Outlook from The Jetty

Jump Into The Jetty At Brisbane’s Southbank

Reviews, TravelBy Chrissie MathesonFebruary 10, 2017Leave a comment

When we finally reached Southbank, the place was a soggy mess. We pulled up at The Jetty, fanging at the bit. Or hungry, if the slang does your head in.

Beer

The Pumpyard Brews Up Bonza Beer

ReviewsBy Chrissie MathesonFebruary 6, 2017Leave a comment

Arriving from the cool summer of Tassie smack bang into the sultry heat of Queensland, a beer seemed like the idea of the century.

A Tiny Place With A Big Future

ReviewsBy Chrissie MathesonJanuary 16, 2017Leave a comment

A tiny place with a big future. A chef’s ride into the terrifying territory of ownership. This is Philippe Leban’s A Tiny Place Cafe.

Blue Eye

A Hard Eye Needed For Blue Eye

ReviewsBy Chrissie MathesonJanuary 9, 20171 Comment

A very fishy business! And in so many more ways than one! A recent trip to Blue Eye Seafood Restaurant down in Salamanca was interesting

Born In Brunswick, Burgeoning In Hobart

ReviewsBy Chrissie MathesonJanuary 2, 20175 Comments

Born in Brunswick, new kid on the block and run by an ex Master Chef contestant, is not perfect. But they ticked enough of my boxes for me to leave happy.

Frogmore

Review: Frogmore Creek Vineyard

Cuisine, Destination, Establishment, Modern Australian, Restaurants, Reviews, Tasmania, Travel, Vineyards, Wine BarsBy Chrissie MathesonDecember 16, 20162 Comments

This was a birthday lunch, and with two dear friends visiting from Melbourne, the celebration called for a special place. Frogmore Creek Vineyard it was.

Brooke Street Larder

Review: Brooke Street Larder

ReviewsBy Chrissie MathesonNovember 28, 20164 Comments

There are a few places I visit in Hobart where I feel I may just be in a parallel fairy tale world. One of them is the Brook Street Larder.

Arms

ReviewsBy Chrissie MathesonNovember 21, 2016Leave a comment

Quirky? Clever? Fun? It’s all of the above. A big welcome to this new kid on the block – The Quartermasters Arms in Hobart.
