Why it's worth checking out
The Little Poet sits on Victoria Street in Battery Point, the charming, historic harbourside neighbourhood of Hobart. A well-regarded restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its accomplished, flavour-packed cooking — a clear sign of a place delivering both genuinely good food and a great experience in one of the Tasmanian capital's loveliest areas.
The appeal is that combination of skilled cooking, a considered drinks offering and a relaxed yet refined setting in charming Battery Point, ideal for a special dinner, a relaxed evening or a meal that showcases the best of Tasmania's renowned produce. The historic neighbourhood's character pairs perfectly with a quality restaurant, and The Little Poet has clearly become a genuine favourite.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Battery Point restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a special night out in Hobart.
