Street Eats @ Franko
An offshoot of Farm Gate, these night markets (streeteatsfranko. com.au) inhabit Hobart’s historic Franklin Square on Fridays during Tassie’s more hospitable months (December until the end of March). Again, the focus is strictly local but this is all about bringing a picnic blanket and eating on the lawn while watching local performers. About 20 stalls line the square under twinkling lights; favourites include Harissa Hobart’s vegan burritos and the charcoal-grilled Taiwanese-style squid from Formosa Bites. Don’t skip the bevvies: Captain Bligh’s ales and spirits, plus Endangered Distilling Co’s Bread Vodka.
