Mr. Good Guy Restaurant

In the heart of Devonport’s city centre, Mr. Good Guy Restaurant offers a relaxed, share-style take on the flavours of Southeast Asia. The menu is designed for choosing several dishes for the table, with smaller and larger plates spanning Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai, Singaporean, Vietnamese and Filipino influences. Guests can order à la carte or leave the selection to the kitchen with the banquet menu, which brings together a mix of the chef’s dishes for the whole table.

The menu includes familiar favourites alongside more regionally inspired plates. Beef rendang features slow-braised beef brisket in coconut-spiced gravy, while the green curry combines eggplant, tomato, coriander, green chilli paste and lime leaves, with a choice of chicken thigh or tofu. Other options include Vietnamese goi ga noodle salad, Malaysian satay ayam, Singaporean laksa soup and Indonesian nasi goreng. From the grill, the crying tiger steak is a Thai-style scotch fillet marinated with lemongrass and soy, and chicken inasal draws on Filipino flavours of calamansi, garlic and lemongrass. Vegetarian options are also identified on the menu, although the restaurant notes that its shared kitchen and serving environment means it cannot guarantee the complete absence of allergens.

The restaurant describes its setting as fun, playful and easy-going, with a focus on the lively flavours, aromas and energy associated with Southeast Asia. Drinks are part of the experience too, including Singapore Slings, Passionfruit Gin Fizz and Vietnamese Espresso Martinis made with local Tasmanian spirits and Asian aromatics. The offering suits a quick lunch, a longer dinner with friends or family, and groups wanting to share across the table. Mr. Good Guy also promotes intimate, modern and stylish spaces for functions, with enquiries directed to the venue’s events team.

Behind the kitchen is Chef Muhammad Momo Fadly, whose career began at The Regent Singapore after growing up around his mother’s traditional pastry stall. The restaurant says he brings more than 20 years of international culinary experience to Tasmania’s North-West, including work across five-star hotels and premium dining venues. That background informs a menu centred on Southeast Asian street food and classic preparations, while the front-of-house team places emphasis on a warm, friendly welcome. With its broad sharing format and choice of lighter salads, soups, substantial plates and grilled dishes, Mr. Good Guy is a practical option for both casual meals and larger gatherings in Devonport.
