Dave's Eats Hobart - Hobart Food Tour
Bite-seeing in the capital of Tassie: a relaxed public food walk through Hobart's best local flavours.
What this tour actually is
Dave’s Eats Hobart is our public food tour for independent travellers who want the city to make sense through what it tastes like.
You will wander central Hobart with a guide who knows the counters, producers, pubs, markets and kitchen doors that make the place tick. It is not a formal restaurant crawl and it is not a lecture with snacks. It is a relaxed, tasty introduction to Hobart, told through the people who feed it.
What to expect
Come hungry. We build the route around local flavour: Tasmanian produce, sweet things, savoury things, old city stories, and the sort of recommendations that are actually useful once the tour is over.
The exact stops can change with seasonality, opening hours and who has made something especially good that week. That is part of the point.
Who it’s for
Independent travellers, couples, curious locals, solo guests, small groups, and anyone who wants a Hobart orientation that involves eating instead of being pointed at monuments from a bus.

FAQ
Is this a free tour?
No. "Free independent traveller" is travel industry shorthand for guests booking individually rather than as a private group. This is a paid public food tour.
Can you handle dietaries?
Usually, yes. Tell us when you book and give us as much notice as you can so the kitchens can prepare properly.
Can our group book this privately?
Absolutely. Send a private charter enquiry and we can build a food-focused Hobart day around your group.
Going for a longer trip?
Most guests pair a half-day with a full-day. Mid-week and Sunday tours are quieter and just as good.
