Black Footed Pig

Hobart


Exposed brick, white marble tables, black leather seats – the colours and textures here are appropriately dramatic for an upbeat waterfront diner, serving tapas (seared scallops with cauliflower cream, grilled chorizo with honey glaze) and larger raciones (spiced lamb cutlets, ravioli with marscapone and spinach). The wine list splits itself neatly between Tasmania and Spain, and they love their gin here.
