Top choice in Tasmania


The flagship of the Providore Place complex is this glass-walled restaurant from (and named after the children of) TV celebrity chef Ben Milbourne. Select from around a dozen shared plates focused on local produce, and if you nab a bar stool you're pretty much sitting in the kitchen with the chefs. No bookings; just walk in.

Milbourne's TV studio is immediately next door; take a peek through the glass to watch the filming.
