The Waggon

The Waggon is a pub, restaurant and bistro on Argyle Street in North Hobart, with a menu centred on Tasmanian produce. Its kitchen describes the approach as paddock-to-plate, using local ingredients in dishes that give familiar classics a modern twist. The emphasis is on seasonal flavour, sustainability and careful preparation rather than an overly complicated dining style.

Breakfast is a substantial part of the offering, with options ranging from Eggs Your Way and the Big Waggon Breakfast to Tasmanian Salmon Benedict and a Breakfast Burger with fried egg, bacon and provolone. There are also locally roasted coffee and freshly squeezed juice, making it suited to a relaxed morning meal in North Hobart. The breakfast menu includes gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options, although guests with allergies are asked to discuss their requirements with the team because common allergens are used on the premises.

At lunch, the menu moves between pub favourites and more considered plates. Named examples include Roast Porchetta with mash and gravy, Duck Lasagna, Eggplant Fritters, Salt and Pepper Squid, Smoked Rainbow Trout, Waggon Wagyu Wellington and the Waggon Cheesesteak. There are also burgers, steak, salads, chips and other sides, giving groups a choice between a quick midday meal and something more leisurely. The broader menu description suggests a balance of comforting food and contemporary reinterpretations, with local Tasmanian ingredients kept at the centre.

The venue offers more than a place to eat, with a beer garden, dedicated restaurant and bistro spaces, functions, and accommodation. The website presents the atmosphere as warm and comfortable, while its rooms are designed with a more polished, restful feel. That combination makes The Waggon relevant for breakfast or lunch diners, groups arranging a function, and visitors looking to stay in North Hobart. It is also described as an award-winning venue, though the site does not provide details of the award. The address is 327 Argyle Street, North Hobart, and bookings are available through the venue.
