Flathead Fish Cafe

This small, unpretentious cafe is just a short walk from the grand Islington Hotel in South Hobart. The fish is fresh (you can buy it to cook yourself if you wish) and the staple is fish and chips, but they also do a range of chargrilled and pan-fried fish dishes as well as vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. Start with Thai fish cakes; they’re delicious. Flathead is licensed and has a good wine list featuring Tasmanian wines and local beers.
