Among the best places to drink Apple Juice, as the cold Tasmania climate is well suited for growing apples. The slow-growing, sun-ripened apples render a crisp fresh fruity sweet flavour to the apple juice, that's incredibly refreshing and addictive.

The Beef Brisket sourced from Kennaook / Cape Grim, Tasmania, Australia, is renowned for being of the finest quality, sourced from cattle grass-fed on rich pastures, hand-selected and rigorously graded.

A popular dish, the Chicken Parmigiana became known in Australia around 1953, and is a staple pub grub. The chicken parmigiana, sometimes shortened to just 'parmi', features a large boneless breaded chicken breast, coated in a generous dressing of tomato ketchup, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, or provolone cheese, sometimes with added pork bacon or ham. The result is a tender and moist texture with meaty savoury sweet salty cheesy flavour. Traditionally served with a side of salad, and English style chunky potato chips or French style shoe-string potato fries.

While the British Fish And Chips and the Australian Fish And Chips both use the same English style thick cut chips seasoned with salt and a dash of vinegar, the difference lies in the type of fish used. Australian Fish And Chips are typically made with firm white flesh fish that are common in Australia, such as John Dory, Whiptail Hake, Flathead, Reef Cod, Rock Cod, Flake, Basa Catfish, Blue Grenadier, or Barramundi. The fish is light battered and deep fried, then garnished with a slice of lemon and served with a side of tomato sauce or tartar sauce. It has a crisp exterior, a moist tender flaky interior, and a delicate sweet salty savoury flavour. In Hobart, the most common type of fish used is Blue Eye Travalla, Blue Grenadier, Flake, or Flathead.

The Lamington is an iconic Australian dessert common in Hobart. It is a light vanilla or chocolate sponge cake set in a square shape, coated with a thin layer of chocolate icing / chocolate sauce, then covered in desiccated coconut. The Lamington is often served with layers of cream or fruit jam (strawberry or raspberry). It has a soft spongy texture, with bright fruity sweet flavour. Named after Charles Wallace Alexander Napier Cochrane-Baillie 2nd Baron Lamington, or Lord Lamington, though ironically, he actually disliked the dessert, calling it "those bloody poofy woolly biscuits".

An Australian Meat Pie is a hand-sized meat pie, containing diced or minced meat, root vegetables, and gravy, in a solid pastry pie crust. Often consumed as a takeaway food snack, it's similar to the British style pie.
