Dinner, Lunch and Snacks

Our menu changes as produce available to us changes. 

 

Expect to taste the seasons, see the best possible produce on your plate, the most interesting local drinks in your glass, and taste a menu that truly isn’t like anywhere else. 

 

With smaller, larger, and snack-sized plates we’ve got you covered no matter your age, or hunger level. In fact all our plates are served for two – we won’t force you to share, but it does make it a little more fun when you do.

A BIT FUSSY?

A bit fussy?

Oh well, we can’t all be perfect! Our menu is designed to work for a wide variety of palates and as they’re plates designed to be shared we encourage you to be a little adventurous and try something new…if you dare. 

We embrace diversity and accommodate various tastes and dietary needs, with portions suitable for all ages and appetites.

Drinks

Want to pop in for a drink? We would love to have you! 


Our drinks menu is a proud celebration of Tasmanian distillers, vineyards, and makers, and the incredible array of spirits, wines and non-alcoholic drinks they produce. 

In the interest of fairness we will occasionally let the exceptional non-Tassie drop make it onto our drinks menu – if you see them, you know they must be good to sit amongst a Tasmanian tipple. 

Extra Special Specials

Our team is part Mad Scientist – experimenting in the kitchen or at the bar to put our spin on a classic, or to create a Franken-Food that you’re sure to love. You can find our latest experiments on our Specials board.

 

We update our Facebook and Instagram with our latest specials

We’re proud to welcome you to our patch of paradise in South Hobart. 

 

Our mission is simple: to offer a genuinely satisfying dining experience without any airs and graces that celebrates the abundance of local delights right here in Tasmania.

 

We aim to bring you incredible dishes in a cosy, warm and welcoming atmosphere. South Wine Bar, lovingly called South, is proudly located in South Hobart, under the gaze of kunanyi / Mount Wellington and run by Kathie and Jeremy (Jezz) Waterhouse. 

 

Fueled by over two decades of shared passion for great food, drinks, and unforgettable moments, Jezz and Kathie simply wanted to open a place that had excellent, soul-satisfying food but felt like home (unlike home, pants are not optional).
