At Old Wharf, we stand in the historical location of former jetties, piers, homes and taverns from where, since the 1800s colourful traders, merchandisers, exporters and explorers have shipped Tassie’s renowned produce across the globe.

Chef Simon Pockran and his team acknowledge this history by creating a menu that celebrates and explores Tasmania’s traditional family dishes. Reimagined and refined, this menu gives the nod to our past while championing our celebrated produce and boutique Tasmania growers.

We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the first they did was provide a complimentary glass of bubbles - that was a really nice touch. The meal was excellent and plenty of it. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

All I can say this is the best meal I have had in a longtime with amazing friendly staff, they will go out of their way to help you. The quality of the food was top class and its great to see the head chef Alvin Sim mingle with the people dining. This was our last night in Tasmania and I have already posted my thoughts to friends and family on social media and visiting The Old Wharf is a MUST do for anyone travelling to the apple aisle.
