Experience Tasmania's culinary highlights, just as nature intended.
At Rockwall Bar & Grill, we're passionate about showcasing the exceptional products of local farmers, fishermen, and artisans in Tasmania. Our story began in 2008, when our founders, Susan Catchpool and Garry Baker, recognized the need for a restaurant that would celebrate the best of Tasmanian cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Today, we're proud to continue this legacy, offering our guests an unforgettable dining experience that highlights the unique flavors and ingredients of our beautiful island state.
Our Story
Located in the heart of Hobart, our restaurant is housed in a stunning sandstone Georgian warehouse that dates back to the 1830s. This historic building has been beautifully restored, maintaining its original charm while providing a modern and comfortable setting for our guests. Our team, led by Chef Nicholas Garth, is dedicated to sourcing only the freshest and highest-quality ingredients, often from local suppliers, to craft dishes that are both innovative and respectful of Tasmania's rich culinary heritage.
Our Services
At Rockwall Bar & Grill, we offer a range of services to cater to your every need. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two, a corporate event, or a special celebration, we have the perfect solution. Our private dining room can accommodate up to 30 guests, and our experienced team will work with you to create a customized menu and atmosphere that exceeds your expectations. We also offer set menus, wine pairings, and bespoke catering services for special events.
Rockwall at the Market
In June 2023, we launched Rockwall at the Market, a new venture that brings our exceptional quality to Saturday's Salamanca Market. Here, you can indulge in our signature dishes, including our famous egg and bacon roll, made with paddock-raised, free-range Tasmanian oak-smoked bacon, local free-range eggs, and freshly baked brioche. We're thrilled to be a part of this vibrant market, where you can experience the same high standards and passion for local produce that we're known for at our restaurant.
