We arrived in Hobart late afternoon in the rain. By the time we had found some accommodation it was dark, cold and damp. The last thing I wanted was to tramp around looking for a restaurant. Fortunately, just 500 metres from our hotel, we found this restaurant and tried their special. Two meat choices and rice for A$7 sounded like good value, and it was. The serving was genuine and the food was good. It was no surprise that we had trouble finding a table.

During our stay in Hobart we walked past this restaurant on several occasions. Almost every time, from early in the morning till mid-evening it was crowded with people. The operators had perfected the volume throughput principle but had managed to preserve an attractive atmosphere. We returned again on our final day in Hobart. This time we looked past the special and selected dishes from the menu. There were most of the favourites. We decided on noodles and soup. I had a laksa which was excellent. My wife had something that she enjoyed. We paid about A$20 including a drink. We would have happily gone back again had we been staying longer.
