Amazing in every aspect! Wouldn't dream of usually eating this sort of food but Aloft has surpassed all expectations! We had the dégustation menu and the food is an experience like no other and the service is faultless. The ambiance was great too! I can't recommend this place enough! Wow wow wow!
I have never been so impressed by an overall experience at a restaurant. Aløft goes over and above!
The food was incredible; I went in not knowing to expect and was forced into trying food I usually wouldn't choose. My taste buds are absolutely overjoyed with all the new flavours and foods
The staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgable about their menu; providing us with the advice with what the eat.
Service was fast, easy and efficient. Every time I looked up there was a new plate of food in front of me.
I suggest that everyone should go to Aløft and give your palate the night of its life!
From the amazing food to the amazing views and outstanding service there is literally only one thing that i would suggest this place needs to improve on and that is the cocktails. Every single dish from start to finish was amazing. 110% I would recommend this place and go back in a heartbeat 😊 Excellent experience!!!
The ambience in this venue is amazing. Great location on the water. The food is really yummy especially the parfait! The waitress was super friendly. Always able to accommodate walk ins as well.
Every dish was beautifully balanced. I mostly loved that every menu item was interesting - the ingredients and flavours making a choice very difficult. this is the main reason that I have this venue 5 stars. Friendly and helpful staff.
Food service was fast and food were beautiful! Service was ok, the waitress did not seem particularly knowledgeable on the food details, so would help if they explained the dishes better
We got the pork ears, duck, beef tartare and scallops for entrees. Definitely recommend the pork ears - they were crispy, juicy and tender and was the highlight of the night. I didn’t particular like the scallops, they were a tad over cooked. The duck was amazing and tender and balanced out with the pickled cucumber, and the tartare was refreshing
Mains I tried the Sichuan fish fillet and the steak, both were amazingly cooked!
Stunning food, inspired interesting and different combinations, perfect service. One note: a couple of the dishes were just too seasoned - a little less salt please.
The fish curry was the stand out ! Delicious ! Beef was nice but the mussels were awesome ! Pig ear and whitebait ok but I really I really enjoyed this place. Fish curry was worth going back for
Aloft Oh My...
If you had told me I would go to dinner and have an amazing meal consisting of Turnips, Brussels Sprouts, Pigs Ear with a Pinot from Flower Pot south of Hobart, I wouldn’t of believed you.
That’s what happened.
This restaurant quite simply changes your opinion of foods you previously disliked or shunned.
Well done all!
If your in town, go here simple as that!!

A getaway trip can’t be complete if there isn’t dinner plans at a hatted restaurant and of course, trusty Mr D had made a reservation at Aloft for our anniversary dinner and I’m glad he did because it did get quite busy. Stepping inside, it was beautiful. Set in a glassed restaurant that sits over the water, it was totes romantic. The staff gladly showed us to our table by the window and we chose to do the $80 set menu. The good thing about Aloft is there’s set menus for people that eat everything, vegetarian, vegans and pescatarian so there’s something for everyone.
One of my favourite from my trip in Hobart. The foods are excellent! Pig ears is my favourite, they are great and moorish. We were seated on the corner overlooking the harbour and what a great view! Service is also great and attentive.
I’m surprised this place doesn’t have a higher rating! Great location, great staff, great ambience and, most importantly, great food.
We went with the banquet option because we couldn’t decide what we wanted - too many options! A very succinct overview of the banquet is that it included pigs’ ears, oysters with kimchi, prawns, chicken wings, yellow fish curry, Koji beef, and condensed milk ice cream. Favourite dish was the yellow fish curry - so delicious I could have had another serve. Least favourite would have been the pigs ears but still found them tasty - just too salty. The only downside we had was it took a very long time for our drinks to come out - about three dishes in.
Highly recommend if you are going to Hobart.
A really enjoyable fine dinning experience.
The restaurant is located at the central of Hobart CBD. Service is attentive and friendly. Presentation is second to none. Quite Asian fused modern Australian cuisine.
Overall the taste is a bit too salty for my personal taste. However, the highlight of the night is the desert. Mandarin is the key note of this dish. Laying is the key to its success. From the buttermilk foam outside, sugar glazed mandarin in the middle, and then the ice cream in the middle. Airy, tangy, creamy. Such a wonderful piece of art, not only a desert. Credit to the chef.
I’d be here all day if I wrote down everything good about this restaurant. An amazing experience and so happy we went. The service and the food was such a pleasant, genuine experience. It’s my number one recommendation for anyone I know visiting Hobart. They have an amazing diverse vegan menu also which is not something you see very often.
Beautiful and creative food! Flavours were amazing with some Asian influence, and the team used it appropriately to show off Tasmania produce. All dishes were perfectly cooked as well; never had a pork this tender before!
It's a great value for money for the quality you get, and ambience is hip and classy. One minor suggestion is that it would be great if more Tassie wines could be ordered by glass :)
Last night's meal @aloftrestaurant_ was one of the best dining experiences I have had. From the minute I walked in the door, I felt welcome. The staff were amazing, the chefs were amazing, sitting at the kitchen bar was amazing and the food was amazing. I'll definitely be back!

Tasmania trip (last minute as usual due to ever changing covid restrictions 🤦🤣). Christmas Eve dinner at @aloftrestaurant_ - absolutely fantastic dining experience! The chef's menu (100$ pp) was perfectly executed, and had an Asian influence. Every course was yummy, and had something surprising and interesting. The drinks selection was excellent, and the service was amazing and friendly, even though they were fairly busy. Well done 🙂🙂.
.
Oyster, nasturtium flower mignonette: we aren't normally big fans of raw oysters, but these ones were really good! They were big and juicy, and the sauce was super tangy and delicious.
.
Sashimi, ponzu, cucumber, sesame: super fresh kingfish sashimi, which was complemented by multiple yummy ingredients 🤤.
.
Wallaby tartare, Sichuan pepper, tapioca: I've never had wallaby before, but I guess it tastes like kangaroo 😅. At first I didn't know if I'd like the Sichuan pepper flavour, but these were very yummy - if you eat the tartare with the cracker in one bite, the flavours are like a party in your mouth 😍😍.
.
Chinese Masterstock Crispy Pigs Ears (+12$): we opted to add this optional course because who can resist crispy stuff 😂😂? They were very savoury and crispy - absolutely delicious! We finished it in record time 😅😅.
.
Crispy eggplant, fermented chilli: this was so good! The inside is nice and soft, and the outside was lightly crisped, and coated with this sticky sweet sauce that had a hint of chilli. Nicely done!
.
Stanley Bay scallops, nasturtium nam jim jaew: tangy sauce on the scallops, which were super tender and done perfectly!
.
Market fish (blue eyed trevalla), fennel, zucchini, goats curd: this dish had a beautiful presentation, in particular with the foam. The fish itself had a firm texture, and the skin was crispy. The fish flesh also had lots of flavour in it 🤤🤤.
.
Pork, macadamia shavings, miso, charred broccolini: the pork is one of the most tender pork I've ever had! It was super super easy to cut and pull apart with your cutlery 😍😍. The flavours were amazing too! Loved the macadamia shavings, which added a nice additional layer of flavour to the dish. Excellent!
.
Meyer lemon, caramelised white chocolate, buttermilk foam, honeycomb sprinkle: this dessert definitely deserves its own post. It was very delicate, and had the perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavours. The different layers were so nicely done 🤤🤤😍😍. So good!!

WOW! 5/5! What at fabulous experience. Visiting from Melbourne, this restaurant ticked all boxes and exceeded expectations. Starting with a fabulous view over the River Derwent, the food was incredible and although we were trying to recover our bellies from a full 6 course degustation menu at MONA, we HAD to finish each and every morsel on our plates. The food is unique, balanced and so flavoursome! My daughter is vegetarian and so fussy and just LOVED every dish. The desert was AMAZING (sorry no photos)! Our waitress Bronte was exceptional...attentive and knowledgeable. In fact all staff really demonstrated their knowledge of intricate flavours and showed passion with each course they delivered. This extended to the wine menu too. The music created a great ambience...there was a great energy and buzz. I thanked Head Chef and owner Christian who was soooo delightful! We wished we could go back the next night but it will have to be on our next visit to Hobart! Thanks for such a memorable & enjoyable night! x
