Visiting Hobart for the first time, we really wanted to experience somewhere that showcased local produce. Each meal I had was perfection on a plate, I can't recommend Peacock and Jones highly enough. An absolute must when visiting Hobart!
Incredible levels of customer satisfaction, great vibe, Emma is an incredible host, food is sublime local, fresh, reasonably priced and I love how kitchen is open and menu ranges from small bites to mains - perfect for dinner or just snack with wine - wine list incredible and LOVED the black rice crisps with smoky babagannoush and the cured trout - also best chips I've ever had - fries with generous coatings of chilli, parmesan and salt - to die for! Location is magic, understated elegance, steeped in history
Great old world atmosphere. Not a large but very good quality menu. The next table somehow knew there was an additional vegetarian menu. Would have been good to know. Excellent choice of Tasmanian and other wines. We especially loved the fish of the day and chicken liver pate. Recommend for a special night out.
What an amazing place. I am not sure what all the negative reviews about service are all about. Staff were fantastic. The moment you walked in the door all the way to the final dish was fabulous. The king fish starter followed by the sirloin steak were just beyond words. The steak was tender and had a lovely smoky flavour. A truly lovely evening and meal in beautiful Hobart.

Where can I begin with this place???? It was hands down AMAZINGGGGG!!!!!! My friends and I came down to visit Hobart last weekend and we wanted to try this place on our first night and did a walk in when they just opened, however they were booked out and now I can understand why!
We didn’t want to give up on this place so we attempted to make a booking on our last night in Hobart. When we called up whilst sitting in the car parked right outside the restaurant, they said they only had bar stools available and we accepted anyway. Upon walking in, they managed to put us on a table at the back of the restaurant.
At first glance, the atmosphere was just gorgeous, the fireplace was beautiful and lighting was dim.
We ordered 4 entrees and the highlights for me were the kingfish ceviche and chicken liver parfait. These dishes was quality made and I wanted more! My main dish was the duck and by now I didn’t think I could have been even more impressed but boy I was wrong. Hands down the best duck dish, I have ever ate or will eat, maybe. The dish came with a yoghurt type of sauce on the side with thinly sliced persimmons, which would at first sound odd but it worked perfectly well.
Service was tentative and great, waiter checked up on us with every course and asked how it was. I was so happy we did not give up on this place. It was a 10/10 for me and I would fly back to Hobart just to eat here again.
What a cosy little restraunt right by the pier. With the seating within an area with a fire and a multiple heaters it was so fab. We enjoyed the duck and pork mains coupled with impeccable service and great Tassie wines it was a fab night. Highly recommend.
Beautiful restaurant. Loved the ambience, the friendly service and the high quality yet not overly pretentious meals. My main was cooked to perfection and my desert was delicious. Highly recommend this wonderful experience.
Wonderful dinner!
Starter was the Lonzo charcuterie. Beautiful cured pork and the sour dough bread was great, large irregular holes, nice thick crust with soft chewy middle. Mains -Roasted duck on charcoal. Medium rare which was just right. Full of flavour. Three Rivers Lamb was probably the best I had ever had. Great charred flavour not over powering. Cooked medium rare again was just right. Accomplishment with farro was also great.!
Service was very nice. Only thing strange to me was when I ordered my beers and ask for it to be in a glass, they would only bring out the beer already poured in the glass. I would have thought they would bring beer and glass out and pour in in front of you.??
We had an event at the hotel last night which was housed in the foyer area and catered by the restaurant. We had some seriously amazing food with the cured ocean trout entree being a standout but the house made goats cheese spread over some sourdough was also spectacular.
For main I had 24 hour braised lamb shoulder, frankly I found it very salty. I enjoyed the accompanying potato and mint. For dessert there were three tarts all with a perfectly crisp and crumbly shell, a delicious lemon one, a tasty chocolate one and an underwhelming cheesecake one. Overall a very pleasant evening
Ambience—I love the rustic theme!
Staff—very friendly and accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu hence they can give ideas and recommendations based on your preference.
Price—reasonable for fine dining experience
Food—superb!
Great spot on the water -service staff super friendly and helpful in the pizza 🍕 selection. Guy playing the guitar in the background was a winner. Worth a visit
Visited Peacock and Jones as part of a weekend away in my home town with the missus, After checking in at the new Macq01 and a short stroll across the road we settled in to what turned out to be a great dining experience at P & J
We started with Champagne whilst we perused a smallish menu then opted for the Calamari for me and Nduja for the missus, I said at the time the Calamari was the second best I had had and in reflection that still stands true. The Calamari (entree size ) was chosen by the missus for main whereas I felt the need for some red meat and ordered the Cape Grim Sirloin (medium rare)again both meals were delicious. We matched our meals with some very nice Tassie wines
All in all a very good night out aided by knowledgeable and friendly wait staff and quite reasonable prices, will return
Food was excellent. I did the wine matching and all the wines were great, but they poured every wine as part of the wine matching after the course had arrived. I found it extremely odd. In a couple of instances I was waiting for the wine quite a few minutes after the course arrived.
.
Food and service was excellent. They were very accommodating of all of my partner’s dietary requirements. A nice cozy spot, all the food was interesting and very tasty. The cauliflower gnocchi was amazing. Definitely worth a visit.
Incredible cuisine that's everything the best of Tasmania. Seasonal, fresh and of world class. The outstanding service is above and beyond exceptional, an incredible team that takes passion and pride in their work and food. A Michelin star should be highly considered. An absolute must.
Service was a bit basic but the food and wine was pretty good. A really nice setting and vibe. Not too crowded or noisy.

One of the most popular Masterchef Australia contestants nearly a decade ago and guest chefs since Ben Milbourne lends his talents and curates the menu at Peacock and Jones a lovely cozy restaurant set in the heritage listed Henry Jones IXL Jam Factory.
The blue fin tuna tataki is an explosion of flavour with sweet sour sweet all blending its way to create a masterful balanced dish with hidden gems like crab apple and tapioca or sago.
The main course gnocci which was delicious with layers of cauliflower that rounds the dish. This dish whilst delicious is very rich so some may find it too much. The venison on the other hand was delicious and extremely balanced with some amazing bits of beetroot and other hidden gems.
Dessert of apple and chocolate cremeux was absolutely delicious laced with a cashew nut base with probably one of the best apple sorbets I've had especially made with Granny Smith's.
The service at the restaurant is among some of the best with Anne not just giving us extremely good service but also gave us a quick history of the magnificent building the restaurant was in. With pricing reasonable for the upmarket nature of the restaurant, two people can have a feed for under $200 for one entree, two mains, a side, two drinks and sparkling water. Overall this restaurant is fantastic and excellent value for money.
The restaurant has a completely different menu for vegetarians and has some halal meat options with the venison being halal on the night of our visit. It is best to check with them as the suppliers are subject to change.
Absolutely lives up to the hype and worth every cent. Ordered the Wallaby Tartare ($27), Dry Aged Pork Chop ($42), Venison ($42) and Cremeaux ($17). As someone who hates game meat, the tartare was a pleasant surprise, and I couldn't stop eating it. The meat was flavorful, creamy and delicious. However, my favourite has to be the dry aged pork - hands down the best pork I've tasted. The Cremeaux was also a great way to end the meal. if you're visiting Hobart, this is a must try, would absolutely fly here to eat at Peacock and Jones again!
