Grape Food and Wine Bar

In the heart of Salamanca Place, Grape Food and Wine Bar brings together a broad food menu, Tasmanian wines, local spirits and cocktails in a setting that shifts with the time of day. It suits a long lunch, a casual drink after the Salamanca market, a relaxed dinner or an evening out in Hobart. The venue describes its atmosphere as warm and stylish, with a more energetic feel after dark when the lights dim, DJs play and the dancefloor comes into its own.

Food is designed for sharing and grazing, with options ranging from Tasmanian oysters and cheese boards to small plates, salads, burgers, pasta, steaks and pizza. The Tasmanian oysters can be served natural, Kilpatrick, with watermelon mignonette or ginger and soy. For the table, the Tasmanian cheese board combines blue, brie and cheddar with quince paste, fruit and crackers, while the chef selection board brings together several small plates including calamari, fried chicken, lamb ribs and crispy corn ribs.

There is plenty for diners wanting something more substantial, including seafood linguine, truffle mushroom pappardelle, grilled lamb backstrap and Black Angus scotch fillet. Pizza covers familiar choices such as Margherita and pepperoni alongside truffle mushroom, pulled lamb and pesto pumpkin. A children’s menu with a kids’ cheeseburger, chicken nuggets and pasta makes the venue an option for family meals, while function platters are available for pre-arranged group occasions and celebrations.

The drinks list focuses on Tasmanian wines, local spirits, classic cocktails and house creations. Signature cocktails include the Tropical Coco, Passion Fruit Martini, Grape York Sour, Blackberry Gin Sour, Clover Club and Passion Fruit Penicillin, offering a mix of fruity, sour, creamy and spirit-forward styles. With group bookings, celebration-friendly platters and a late-night program that includes DJs, Grape suits date nights, gatherings with friends, family meals and visitors looking to continue their Salamanca outing after dinner.
