peacock and jones

pleasantly surprised by the quality of food put out here having been disappointed for most of the visit to hobart.

had dinner here and decided to have a selection of small entrees rather than the classic 3 course meal having conferred with the very pleasant and helpful waiter.

the wagyu tartare was prepared well, had the traditional creamy texture from the yolk but the addition of the peppery crisp gave it that extra dimension.
the highlight of the meal was the salt ling fritters with anchovy emulsion and radicchio had that intrigue of the bitter, creamy, salty and fish taste rolled into one.
the least favourite was the chicken parfait which was creamy and smooth but the toasted brioche bread was too sweet and threw the whole balance of the meal.

overall though a very enjoyable meal and highly recommended to anyone visitinghobartwhen compared to some of the more highly rated establishments which aren't that great from experience so far

where can i begin with this place???? it was hands down amazinggggg!!!!!! my friends and i came down to visithobartlast weekend and we wanted to try this place on our first night and did a walk in when they just opened, however they were booked out and now i can understand why!

we didn’t want to give up on this place so we attempted to make a booking on our last night in hobart. when we called up whilst sitting in the car parked right outside the restaurant, they said they only had bar stools available and we accepted anyway. upon walking in, they managed to put us on a table at the back of the restaurant.

at first glance, the atmosphere was just gorgeous, the fireplace was beautiful and lighting was dim.

we ordered 4 entrees and the highlights for me were the kingfish ceviche and chicken liver parfait. these dishes was quality made and i wanted more! my main dish was the duck and by now i didn’t think i could have been even more impressed but boy i was wrong. hands down the best duck dish, i have ever ate or will eat, maybe. the dish came with a yoghurt type of sauce on the side with thinly sliced persimmons, which would at first sound odd but it worked perfectly well.

service was tentative and great, waiter checked up on us with every course and asked how it was. i was so happy we did not give up on this place. it was a 10/10 for me and i would fly back tohobartjust to eat here again.

peacock and jones were a last minute choice on our trip tohobart- but definitely one of our most enjoyable meals! they catered easily to vegetarians, had a great selection of wines and really friendly, knowledgable staff! definitely worth a visit. (try the sunchoke!)
