Our bistro has been planned to give you the setting you want, from a quiet corner for two to a private area for up to 50 people for a birthday, a corporate event or a seasonal celebration.
Call us on 6223 5551 or email us to plan your event; choose from the main bistro menu or a fixed-price set menu.
We don’t charge for room hire. And we do a great birthday cake as well.
A cake adds the crowning moment to a birthday or anniversary celebration — and Shippies’ Bistro can now provide cakes with your own message. We’ll need a few days’ notice, of course, so let us know when you make your booking.
Our cakes are $70 each and serve 20 people. Choose from:
- Chocolate Mousse Torte (gluten free)
- Orange and Almond Cake (gluten free)
- Chocolate Espresso Cake
- Lemon Ricotta Cake
It’s OK too if you prefer to supply your own cake and we make a nominal charge of $2.50 per person to cover service.
Call us on 6223 5551 or email us to make arrangements.
In keeping with the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere of one of Hobart’s most famous hotels, we don’t believe in fast food.
That’s why our Bistro is the most popular in Hobart and why it is usually essential to book well in advance.
We pride ourselves on the quality and freshness of our food. We buy only the best produce from local suppliers and every dish on our menu is prepared to order — you can be sure your meal hasn’t been plucked out of a freezer and microwaved.
There are no modern, high-tech ways of producing good food and you can see our kitchen staff exercising their traditional skills in our open-plan kitchen.
Our stir-fried vegetables, for example, go into the wok only moments before your order is arranged on the plate. They haven’t been wilting for hours in a bain marie, losing their flavour and texture.
Our head chef, Mark Weston, and his capable kitchen team take great care with presentation because we believe that an attractive dish is more appetising and satisfying than one that has been simply shovelled on to the plate.
For these reasons, you may find that you will have a slightly longer wait than in some other establishments — but we are sure you will find that it is worth the extra few minutes. After all, every meal should be an occasion, not just a hurried eat-and-run.
Larger groups may find it convenient to phone or fax their orders in advance and you can find our menus on this page.
We welcome your comments on our food and our service; they help us to maintain our high standards.

A combination of fresh and cooked Tasmanian seafood: smoked salmon, oysters, trevalla, scallops, mussels, prawns and calamari with a mesclun salad and chips.
Satisfying for one hungry person or a light lunch for two in our sail-shaded beer garden.
We recommend Fishers Circle Classic Dry White to accompany the delicate flavours of Australia’s best seafood.
