Mr Goodguy

Top choice in Hobart


Aiming for a future-Asian Bladerunner look, this good-looking good guy is a hawker-style restaurant revolving around a central bar, on the ground floor of the new ibis Styles Hobart Hotel. Order the wallaby shank massaman curry, a plate of crispy-skin pork belly and a cold longneck of Tsingtao and work on your Ryan Gosling scowl.
