Institut Polaire - Hobart

We had the most beautiful dinner here, definitiw a highlight of our trip to tassie. nav was an incredible host, eating was excellent and the wine was so special! can no longer recommend this place!

A nice way to spend New Year's Eve. Great food and service. The wine options were good also.

Small restaurant with big ideas. We were visiting Hobart and this restaurant completely blew us away with quality of food and cocktails. All dishes were well designed, flavours textures were complex and enjoyable. The highlight must be the cocktails, we all had two rounds and all of them were delicious. We will return when we visit Hobart again!

Having live here 8 years, it took a (very favourable) Weekend Australian review to remind me this place existed. We loved each dish. The gin advice was welcome and spot on. As parents of young kids, we don't get out very often so it can't be a dud this was not a dud!

If you are a big fan of Tasmanian gin, this place is a must. 4 of us came there for the gin tasting, but ended up finishing almost the whole snack menu and many of their cocktails. We went there on Sunday so we had the special pork katsu sandwich as well. It is definitely the best one I have ever had in awhile. We came back for their seasonal set menu to celebrate our anniversary last month. The food was absolutely beautiful and tasty. That story of local white asparagus they served recently made me feel special to be a tasmanian residence. The handkerchief mushroom is surely an art, and the eye fillet is the star of the night. And believe me, you can never go wrong with any of their cocktails. I had the gin bramble and my partner had a manhattan which is always the best one he has around Hobart. The atmosphere, the service and the food were exceptional. Institut polaire is a must try in Hobart.
