I visited Fico with my parents, who were visiting Australia for the first time. Before coming, I was a little worried that their “Chinese palate” might not be used to Western food — but Fico completely changed that.
The food here is all about the purity of ingredients rather than showy techniques or forced innovation, and I think that’s exactly why Fico is so well loved.
The menu was beautifully balanced. The snacks were playful and engaging, making us taste and search for ingredients as we ate. My parents absolutely loved the pasta fritta — the crunchy texture and cheesy umami were so good. The chawanmushi was incredibly light and delicate, melting in the mouth, paired perfectly with tender calamari.
The sourdough deserves a special mention: not sour at all, with a crisp crust, elastic crumb, and served warm — simply the best. The risotto, though unfamiliar to my parents, was very approachable with its creamy texture, bite, and the comforting aromas of porcini and truffle. The venison was outstanding for a meat lover like me.
Desserts were memorable too — one fresh and delicate with buffalo milk, and the final hazelnut and chocolate dessert surprised us with the addition of buckwheat(before this, I had only tasted buckwheat in my grandma’s multigrain congee), adding a nutty, grainy texture that was interesting.
Overall, Fico is a must-visit when in Tasmania. We went on a Sunday after visiting Farm Gate Market and enjoyed the long lunch — a truly beautiful way to experience Hobart.

The 9 courses were truly amazing and we were delighted they use local produce that is elevated and delicately considered. You will be delightful by the flavors of each dish and the portions are perfect – your belly will be full and content. I highly recommend Fico if you want a fine dining experience that is from the heart and matched with great service and ambience.

This place is truly wonderful! Absolutely loved it! The food is incredibly delicious, the service is unequivocal and the atmosphere is warm, casual and fine dining all at once.
The dishes evoke gastronomic curiosity and delight.
The only dish we weren’t keen on was the asparagus, macadamia nuts thing (egg custard dashi) because it strangely wasn’t well seasoned and the texture of the meal could have been better.
The highs were the dessert, the tortellini (OMG that celeriac broth was sensational), the bread, the mussels soup with the paprika pasta…
The wine was pretty good but far too expensive.
Thank you for amazing service and an amazing experience !!

Had an amazing dinner here tonight. We sadly had to rush off early because we had a bit of a family emergency at our Airbnb. And also we had overindulged at Mona during the day so we decided to skip the cheese, but truly sensational on all fronts, amazing food, great service from Talia.
Thank you, will visit again next time in Hobart!
Truly superb!

As interstate visitors, we were eagerly looking forward to dining at Fico, renowned for its fine cuisine and exceptional atmosphere. Overall, our experience was quite enjoyable, with standout dishes and a lively ambiance, though there were a few hiccups along the way.
The Food:
The culinary offerings truly impressed us. The bread, served as part of the course, was a highlight—soft, with a deep sourdough flavor and a beautifully crunchy crust. We wish we could have had more! (Is this really a course though?)
Among the dishes, the popping mushroom capelli was our favorite—bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The brown sorbet dessert was also a delightful finale, offering a unique and memorable taste. However, towards the end of our meal, the crème caramel felt a bit dull and repetitive, especially after the similarly textured savory chawanmushi course, which slightly dulled our dessert experience.
Ambience & Atmosphere:
The restaurant’s ambiance was somewhat acceptable, but I found it to be a bit loud and chaotic for a fine dining setting. It lacked the quiet elegance typically associated with such establishments, which was a bit surprising. We did appreciate the overall vibe, but it could benefit from a more refined atmosphere.
Service & Experience:
Initially, we encountered some inconvenience with our booking—an error in the system led to us being seated at a bar table instead of our reserved spot. The bar stool was somewhat uncomfortable, but luckily, we were moved to a proper table for our mains, which improved our comfort.
The service was a bit below the expectations for a fine diner; we expected a higher level of attention to detail. That said, the bartender/sommelier did an excellent job, and we were pleasantly surprised when the chefs came out to serve and explain the dishes—adding a personal touch that we appreciated.
Final Thoughts:
While there were some minor setbacks and the overall atmosphere could be more refined, the quality of the food and the moments of genuine hospitality made for a decent experience.

Delicious, Delicious, Delicious!!! What an absolute treat. Wasn’t planning on this trip but managed to book in and get a seat, it was at a raised bar level section a big beautiful lump of wood with lovely inlays (Other standard seated tables are available). The front of house were super relaxed and knowledgeable. It’s a lovely setting with views into the open kitchen and pass, we had great fun guessing if what was being plated was our next dish.
The food was outstanding, varied regional cuisine all beautifully presented and served with a guide on where it was all sourced, what to expect and how best to eat it.
We shared a wine pairing as we’re not big drinkers but like to see how they work out and I was gob smacked at how good it was. I usually get the idea but rarely find wine delicious for me, this was something else tasting the wines before the course and after I was very pleased and amazed at how well they work
I’m unsure if or when we may return to Tasi but this will definitely be on the list again.
Thanks you very much Fico

The 9-course tasting experience was truly interesting and enjoyable. Each dish was full of flavor and well-prepared. The variety of tastes offered something unique and exciting with every course. Definitely worth giving a try!

We went to Fico for lunch on Sunday. I’d easily describe the food and service as the best I’ve ever experienced. The flavour combinations, textures and fragrances were expertly considered and the explanations of wine pairings were excellent. I was rendered speechless with the quality and taste of every dish in disbelief that food can be this incredible!! I 100% would recommend! You are missing out if you haven’t dined at Fico

The food is nothing short of amazing, with creative and balanced recipes that make every dish a delight. The service is super good, and the ambience is perfect for both group dining and solo visits. Whether you’re enjoying a meal with friends or savoring a quiet dinner alone, Fico offers an exceptional dining experience.

The menu offered multiple courses of good quality produce. The sourdough was excellent. The oysters were fresh and the wine list was vast and well considered.
The starters were pleasant and the beetroot spaghetti with venison ragu was the standout dish of the night. However several dishes fell short on execution. The risotto was undercooked. It was not al dente and had a raw, chalky texture. The rabbit main was small for a course intended to share.
The strawberry sorbet was refreshing, though it felt somewhat out of place within the progression of the menu. The dessert course also included choux pastry with a pronounced egg flavour that overpowered the filling which in isolation was delicious.
