About Restaurant Maria
Restaurant Maria sits at the far end of Brooke Street Pier on the Hobart waterfront, looking across the busy harbour with kunanyi/Mount Wellington rising behind the city. The cooking takes its cue from the Mediterranean coast, using Tasmanian and Australian produce. Inside, the room is a warm mix of plaster curves, arched niches, timber and soft sandy tones, styled to recall a Mediterranean summer from decades past. Tall windows line the dining room, so most tables look out over the water. For smaller celebrations there is a private dining room that suits groups of up to 20. Larger events can take over the entire restaurant, which holds up to 130 guests for a stand-up function or 62 for a seated dinner. Dinner is a single chef's menu rather than à la carte, priced at $140 per person, with an optional beverage match for a further $100 per person. Vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian versions are available with notice, and essential dietary needs should be shared when booking. The wine list favours small Mediterranean producers alongside local wines in a similar style, and the bar mixes house-made limoncello spritzes, with aperitifs and digestifs wheeled to the table on a trolley. The team hosts birthdays, anniversaries, staff parties and weddings, and provides function packages on request.
