Street Eats @ Franko

Hobart


This buzzy night market showcases fabulous southern Tasmanian food, with stalls ringed around the fountain in Franklin Sq. There's live music and plenty to drink too. Look for palawa kipli, serving up bush tucker with a twist – think crickets (yes,crickets!) with guacamole, mushrooms and saltbush.
