The Glass House

I came here after a day at the MONA and it was hot and i was a tourist and let’s just say i was not looking super fresh. the ferry from the museum lets you off in the pier that also houses this restaurant though, and we were starving and in a pinch for time, so we just walked in and hoped for the best.
and they let us in!
the restaurant is beautiful, the bar is lit in warm lovely light and the view of the water on three sides is really really nice.
we ate fried chicken which was has honestly kept me up at night since i ate it – like i just want it again real bad. we also has prawns with pork belly and a selection of tasmanian cheese and everything was awesome. there was also albacore and a kingfish hamachi which looked excellent. the fish was clearly very fresh and prepared with the perfect amount of seasoning that let the quality ingredients shine. not as expensive as you would expect, and absolutely delicious! cant wait to go again.

Incredible cocktails! Beautiful balance and wonderful flavours. The food looked great and we hope to get back here again to eat. Price tag is very reasonable considering the atmosphere, service and view. Well done!

Ooh, the Glass House is a fancy place for fancy people. I’m occasionally fancy people, so thank goodness I have the option of this place to head to when the occasion calls for it.
I will ALWAYS delight when a new cocktail place opens in Hobart, because when I moved here three years ago they were few and far between, and mama needs her gin cocktails. And who knew cocktails paired so well with Japanese-​influenced cuisine? The soft shell crab bao took me to another place, it was so good. It was SO good. Beautiful fresh salmon sashimi, too!
I’ve only been of an evening so far but the Glass House is going to be absolutely divine on long summer evenings when it’s still light and you can gaze out at the water with a divine cocktail in hand. I’m making plans. I’d better make some reservations.
