"Hobart's waterfront grill: aged Tasmanian Wagyu over a wood-fired asado in a Chef-Hat dining room hung with Glover landscapes — book it to mark an occasion."
About Landscape Restaurant & Grill
Landscape Restaurant & Grill occupies the ground floor of the Henry Jones Art Hotel, Hobart's converted IXL jam factory on the waterfront, a sandstone building dating to 1858. The dark, contemporary room is hung with works including the colonial landscapes of John Glover — the art that gives the restaurant its name — and looks out over the Hunter Street docks.
The kitchen, led by head chef Nathaniel Embrey, is built around a wood-fired asado grill and an ever-changing seasonal menu of Tasmanian produce. The restaurant was awarded a Chef Hat by the Australian Good Food Guide in 2022, and remains one of Hobart's most sought-after dinner bookings.
The Kitchen
The grill is the whole argument. Aged Tasmanian Wagyu is the headline cut, seared over the coals of the asado, alongside tender local lamb, line-caught seafood and the best of the island's vegetables. The menu changes with the season, so the produce on the grill shifts through the year, but the wood fire is the constant.
This is a grill in the proper sense — fire, smoke and provenance — rather than a fussy fine-dining kitchen. Tasmania's reputation for cool-climate beef, lamb and seafood is the larder, and the kitchen's job is to cook it over coals without getting in the way.
The Room
The dining room is dark and modern, set against the sandstone bones of the old factory and the Glover landscapes on the walls — a moody, grown-up space rather than a bright bistro. Tables look toward the waterfront, and the lighting is pitched for evening; Landscape opens for dinner only, from 5.45pm, seven nights a week.
Service is polished and the room is a destination in its own right, which is why it ranks among Hobart's most in-demand tables. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly at weekends and through the summer festival season.
Best for an Anniversary
The waterfront setting, art-hung room and serious grill make Landscape a strong anniversary choice, and an impressive room in which to close a deal over Tasmanian Wagyu. The polish and provenance also suit a considered business dinner when you want Hobart at its best.
Not for
Not for a quick or casual bite, a tight budget, or a lunch — Landscape serves dinner only from 5.45pm, and the aged-Wagyu grill is priced for an occasion.
