A fantastic range of greeting cards which only cost $1-$2, and reasonably priced, and sometimes matching wrapping paper. A lot of the card designs are just so much better than more expensive cards you'd buy at a newsagents (like Hallmark etc.)

I started off regularly buying my cards from this shop, as the cards are at the door of the shop, but I didn't stop to look at the other products. But now I venture into the shop. This is an Aladdin's cave of gifts, there are so things to look at! You need to have time to have a good look around.

I particularly like the earrings they stock, they are made locally.
They also have some lovely photo frames.

The nicest shop within Eastlands.

Love Fish Frenzy on the Hobart wharf, so seeing that Fish Frenzy has built and opened a new place on the Eastern Shore we went in expecting a good feed. What a disappointment!

We got take away fish and chips, and it was so inedible that we went back to return the food and get a refund. Another customer was just returning their meal when we came in!

Fish was completely dried out, squid rings were exceptionally rubbery, even the chips weren't very nice, tasting unfresh. The worst meals of fish and chips I have ever had!

The poor young girl at the cash register dealt with the complaints well and immediately offered a refund, but her supervisor was completely disinterested in what was going on.

I won't be returning, and don't recommend it.

Excellent takeaway curries! The aroma when you enter is fantastic. This place is small, not really a restaurant but there is seating available. I always get takeaway - for $12 I can get a choice of 2 curries with rice, and it is a generous serve!
I'm making my way through the choice of curries with each visit, preferring the mild to medium. The mango chicken is a favourite. And don't forget to get some naan bread which sells out quickly.
Please note that this place is cash only.

Approximate cost: $12 (takeaway)

This place was a real surprise for me on my first visit last year. Don't let outside appearances deter you. Looks like it has been renovated inside in recent years and has a nice welcoming atmosphere - inside dining area, outside under cover seated area and a lovely little gallery called the stable gallery with works by local artists regularly displayed.
I've been back 3 times since then, and have enjoyed a good meal every time - tandoori chicken, pork bbq ribs (tasty but messy!) and sumac crispy squid. The lamb dish I had on my first visit was exceptional, but sadly is not on the menu now.
Friends who I dined with who ordered steak have appreciated the steak being cooked exactly to their liking.
Service has always being pleasant and efficient.
Prices are on the high side for a counter meal but servings are generous and food tasty - you get what you pay for!

Approximate cost: $24-34

Visiting Sydney for a few days and staying in the CBD, it was a challenge to find somewhere for dinner that didn't cost the earth!
Luckily we found La Bora Pizzeria. Set downstairs from the street, it was warm, cosy and had a nice atmosphere. Lots of locals dining but not too crowded. The waitress at our table was polite and pleasant.
I ordered the lasagne. An enormous piece of lasagne appeared, tasty homecooked style, very good value. My friend ordered pizza, another great choice, it was tasty and was good value.
We were tempted by the desserts, and intended to have dessert, but were too full from our main courses! Next time we promised ourselves!
The soft drinks and beers we ordered were reasonable priced compared to other eating places in Sydney.
Next time I am in Sydney, I will head straight to La Bora for dinner.

Lovely little cafe in CBD. The staff are really friendly and customer focused. I love to drop by when I am having a bad day at work!
Great coffee and hot chocolate. They have delicious sweets to go with the coffee. The raspberry friands are lovely, but personally I now can't resist their triple choc brownies, very yummy and the perfect size.
They also do lunch - today I had their lentil and ham hock soup which came with lovely bread, really satisfying and good value (a generous serve).
There are about 4 tables for 2, and a number of stools at benches, so not a huge area, but very light and welcoming atmosphere.
You are are fool if you don't try this cafe!

Place has a great atmopshere, very popular, particularly on a mild night when people can sit outside.
Salt and pepper squid very nice, large serve and reasonably priced. Drinks reasonably priced too.
Service last night was polite but very, very slow. Had to attract attention of waiting staff to get a menu, and again to get our order in. Then waited a long time for our food- acknowledge it was a busy night, but others who ordered after us got their food first. Hopefully this was just a quirk, not the normal service.
Will go again.

Lovely private cabins, excellent location in National Park. No tv, or internet, lovely little balcony to sit out on and look up at the Hazards, perfect to get away from the rat race.
Not far from the Wineglass Bay walk - well worth the effort to see one of the best beaches in the world!
Friendly staff, wildlife outside the door, beaches in walk distance.
Highly recommend.

Popped in here for coffee last weekend. From the outside it doesn't look that flash, but there was a steady stream of people coming in and out on Sunday morning. Plus no where else nearby to buy coffee, so we thought we'd try it out.
We went in and ordered coffee - fantastic coffee, friendly service, weekend papers to browse, no pressure to drink up and move on.
Menu had brunch, lunch and dinner items - will go back to try another time.
Pleased to find lovely little places like this in rural Tassie.

This used to be the Cupping Room cafe/restaurant, and before that a garage that rented cars. I visited yesterday for the first time for lunch with friends.
The acoustics of this building have been improved - the ceiling has wooden sheeting on it, so conversation does not echo as noisly as previously.
Decor and atmosphere were pleasant, plenty of tables and casual seating.
Great coffee and chai latte.
Beetroot, goat's cheese and lamb salad was very good; caesar salad was good but not outstanding, not a lot of bacon but at least it was chunky tasty bacon.
Prices of meals on the more expensive side.
Service was polite but standard. We had to go and get a waitress to give us menus and take our order.
Overall it was a pleasant lunch, and I would be prepared to go back and try it again. Apparently they are open for dinner 5 nights a week so may try them for dinner soon.
