Dier Makr

Our favourite dining experience in Hobart. All team members were friendly and made it fun. Food was divine, showcasing local Tassie produce in a very modern and restrained way. (If you’re from Sydney and are into cosy wine bars like Bar Copains, Jane and Ante, this is the one for you!)

10/10 on all fronts. We like to treat ourselves to a nice dinner when we travel and Dier Makr fit the bill for this quick getaway. We opted for the additional wine pairing and it did NOT disappoint. Excellent service from both Dier Makr and next door’s Lucinda from the moment we arrived (too early); beautiful decor and the food. My goodness, the food!!! Starting with a series of ‘snacks’, our degustational journey took us on a trip through Tasmania and every course exceeded the one prior. We booked seats at the kitchen bench and were able to watch the chefs prepare everything in front of us, which was immensely satisfying and interesting to watch. The staff were knowledgeable and engaging, and the kitchen space was so clean, tidy and organised, my type A brain enjoyed every second of the experience. Highly recommend a visit if you’re in town, such a special place and one we will be returning to on our next visit. Thank you!!!

Bookmarked this place and had very high expectations due to the excellent reviews. However, the food was overrated and not worth the price. Some of the dishes were plain weird, like the mussels with baby corn. It did not match at all. Alot of the dishes were also very salty. Portions are small as well. This was also the only restaurant during our whole trip to show us the tipping screen (on the credit card machine), making me feel obliged to tip them on top of the already expensive (for the food quality and amount) meal. Just to be clear, this is not our first fine dining meal. But it certainly is one of the rare few times we walk away feeling scammed by the good reviews.

My wife and I live 300kms away and try to get down a couple of times a year to experience a meal at Dier Makr. On every level they are masters at the culinary endeavour. Kobi and his team are off the charts in their creativity as they search and play with flavour matchings and Food that messes with your mind. Ingredients in season or they dont go there! They want you to experience fresh, amazing flavours at the height of their presenting. So good! The Service from the moment you hit the door is being greeted with a smile; Welcome Arty & Joy, can I take your jackets, despite it being months in between attending. So personal! Remembering little things like, I've got that you both dont like coriander! Atmosphere is warm, inviting, a buzz, feels like being in their home, music is well-paced, fun, and familiar. This time we had a large table, which was perfect with two to a table spread apart. No bistro jammings here where you cant move around or can hear the conversations around you. Intimate and so comfortable. Previously we have been on the kitchen pass stools, watching the food being prepared and delicately placed to head off on its journey. Wherever you sit you feel part of the occasion. As "foodies with only one hobby" we have been fortunate to eat at many of the finest restaurants in Australia and in Europe. We would put Dier Makr in the Michelin space, but I suspect Kobi and his team just want to know that when anyone Dines with them, everyone walks away with a smile on their face, satisfied and wanting more. We certainly do and cant wait to plan our next experience with them.

Second time I have had the pleasure of eating here. The service and food was impeccable. The wine pairing was spot on and we couldn’t have been happier. A night with great food, awesome service, fantastic organic wine and the best music on vinyl. We will be back.

The service was very friendly, professional and nice! Didn't bombard for tips at the end. The food - some was delicious some was quite salty, but I guess it's because of the sauce. My partner liked the food, I didn't enjoy them as much. They do have quite an extensive wine and beverage list though.

The people here are lovely, and the place has a cool vibe. They serve well-prepared organic food and wine, with clear skill and effort behind each dish. While we appreciated the quality, the overall experience didn’t fully resonate with us. Since the New Year, the prices have increased, and aside from the organic aspect, we found it hard to justify the value. We understand the challenges in the hospitality industry, and ultimately, we’re all seeking a great night out with enjoyable food – which this place does provide. I’d recommend it to others who appreciate this style, but for us, it feels more like a one-time experience. The atmosphere leans a bit too hipster for the price point. Still, credit where it’s due – the effort and passion behind the food are undeniable.

First night in Hobart and did not disappoint. The menu started with a delicious tasting plate and only got better with each dish. All dishes were 5 star, the highlight was the beef tartare with mushroom, and the strawberry pepper dessert. Love the paddock to plate organic philosophy. The staff and chefs were all so hospitable and knowledgeable with the menu and products sourced. We went without matching wines and their by the glass selection is fantastic.

Tonight I experienced an eight course masterpiece at Dier Makr, truly are artists crafting the food. Eight course meal each course totally different truly a work of art. Thank you for the amazing time tonight

Dier Makr has all the ingredients to make me fall in love with it (restaurant style, not marriage style), and yet... I walked away underwhelmed. Or, not really... maybe just whelmed (are we in France?). Here's the thing--recounting individual dishes after my dinner date, I was pretty excited about each (though the main flavour of the night was "salty"), but my response for the entire dinner was "it was ok". I think it felt like it was missing a main meat course, or something, like the big shebang wasn't there? I'm confused and upset. The thing about Dier Makr, though, is that the menu is seasonal and changes month to month and sometimes (often?) week to week, so I only need to give it a few weeks and it'll be different, and I'll give it another chance, and perhaps then I'll be blown away. Watch out for the update, I guess. Side note: if I was rating this on drinks alone, it would get five stars. The first time I visited was just for drinks (and a couple of bar snacks), and after a round or two of menu item cocktails (all delicious) my friends and I challenged the bar with a couple of rounds of specific orders, which they totally knocked out of the park. We left that night a little bit in love with the place. Before the cocktails, we shared a bottle of wine, which came with a little handwritten note of staff opinion about the wine. Every single wine in the cellar had one. I wanted to read through that cellar like it was a library. Honestly, five stars.

Dier Makr=The Tits. I love this place. Booked, arrived early, no worries, walked in the wine room to take a pick of the selection and hold ya breath Shia Lebouf walks in and recommends a delicious red he said he could sell that wine to anyone and i straight believe that!! Shia's beautiful partner was running the floor like a ballerina floating throughout the restaurant whilst also training a new staff member A+. The food was full of flavour and moreish as fuc!! and my favourite part was the chat from everyone on staff was upbeat and fun if i could have added anything i would have put a carb under the oxtail to slop up the sauce but im a little piggy . Now the cocktails stand alone were balanced and delicious the best cocktails in Hobart and would contest the best cocktails in Australia/world this guy should be entering competition's representing Dier Makr and Tasmania. Great work ill see yo next time
