Omotenashi Hobart

Omotenashi sits on Elizabeth Street, a fifteen-minute walk from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. The room runs smart and elegant, keeping the focus entirely on a rotating selection of Japanese seafood and sushi.

The restaurant holds the 2024 Gourmet Traveller Australia award for restaurant personality of the year, a title that defines the experience better than any menu item could. While it is just as far from the Salamanca Place crowds as the city's other staples, Omotenashi avoids the tourist-heavy sprawl of the harbour front. It is a more precise, quieter choice than the bustling spots near the weekend markets, proving that the best tables in Hobart are often tucked away in the pockets of the city that don't rely on a waterfront view to pull a crowd.
