Oirthir

Contemporary$$

Tasmania’s regional dining scene took a hit when well-regarded fine diner Van Bone closed in late 2024. But the idyllic site near Marion Bay, about 45 minutes from Hobart, lives on as Oirthir (pronounced “oor-heid”).

It’s all about Scottish food, Tasmanian produce and fine-dining flourishes, helmed by Scottish chef couple Bob Piechniczek and Jillian McInnes. House-made haggis accompanies Bangor lamb, sourced nearby, and there’s whisky-spiked honey ice-cream with rhubarb and oatmeal.
