“A great find”
4 of 5 stars | Reviewed 24 March 2015
Recommended by motel receptionist, how fortunate we were.
Just a 5 minute stroll from Motel 429 Sandy Bay and a few minutes more from the Casino. The restaurant is next to a closed 1950s servo, sounds strange BUT it is rather quirky and the water view is spectacular.
“Locals eat here!”
4 of 5 stars | Reviewed 17 January 2015
A very unassuming eatery, in the old Jet service station on Sandy Bay Road. No frills, and a small menu of seafood and about a dozen choices of wood fired pizzas.
We ate there twice during our 5 week stay in Hobart. Both times the seafood and the flounder baked in the wood fired oven were delicious.
The service is friendly, and there seems to be a steady take away trade of locals calling in on their way home from work. Pizzas and seafood are inexpensive, and you can get a glass of wine to enjoy with your meal. This is a Sandy Bay suburban gem!
“Best Tasmanian scallop”
4 of 5 stars | Reviewed 6 December 2014
We went to manning reef cafe for lunch. We were told by the owner that he had fresh scallop just came that morning. Wow it was good. It is a casual cafe, minimum service but wine (in clean skin) are cheap.
