Best restaurants near me in Kingston Beach, Australia

Amaranta is a relative newcomer to the Hobart Indian restaurant scene and has established itself as a high quality destination in the heart of the city. The fit-out is classy yet subdued and makes the most of its modest footprint to provide a range of seating options for diners. The bathrooms are immaculate…a big plus. The quality of the food, drinks, service and background music was consistently high during our two hour lunch. Our waitperson was responsive at all times and made the effort to ensure that the spice levels of the entree and mains were consistent with our preferences. If I had two areas for suggested improvement, they would be, one, the portions of goat served were far bigger than they needed to be for ease of eating, and two, it’s winter in Hobart, not the height of summer, tell the owner/manager to ditch those flimsy shorts and get some decent pants happening…I want to see beautiful food, not hairy legs.

So happy to see Six Russell listed as one of Tasmania’s top restaurants in The Australian. I’ve been in four times now, and every time it’s been amazing. The parfait and tartare are still my favourites, but this time we had friends in from the mainland and tried the wagyu beef and ‘very good mash’—and both were just utterly perfect. But Order the bread. That’s incredible. And servings were really large. Couldn’t fit in dessert. But couldn’t fault a thing. Highly recommend and the service is next level.

Staff are always accommodating. The setting is stylish and exceptionally clean. The menu is varied and reasonably priced. Drinks are fabulous. It’s our ‘go to’ in Hobart.

Exquisite flavours and presentation, gorgeous wines and super friendly service!

Wine and beer were excellent. We had 2 small plates with our drinks- lemon pepper calamari and mushroom arancini. These dishes were delicious and we were excited for our mains but 2 of the 3 mains were disappointing. The prawn and chorizo linguini was very good but the chicken breast with polenta was bland and the pork belly overcooked. If we came to this restaurant again we would only order the small plates as these seem to be the best options.
