berta - Hobart, Tasmania

Joel L.

I happened to swing into this place on a whim. Firstly, this has to be the best coffee in Hobart. They somehow aerated it and did some sort of special magic to make my long black taste like a Thursday lunchtime cocktail. So much so that my partner and I had to pause and cheers. I was more annoyed that it was my last coffee of the day—otherwise, I would have had two.

I had the tuna salad, and to say that it matched the weather would be an understatement—it was a taste of summer. The tuna was seared perfectly, and the dressing was light without being too oily. The arrangement of the potatoes, radish, and semi-sun-dried tomatoes was just divine. I'd love to give a review on the pasta, but my partner inhaled it. Between mouthfuls, mumbling delicious.

The wait staff were friendly and informed me that the menu changes with the seasons. I think this is rare in restaurants, and I’m already looking forward to winter.

Another added benefit is that the meals are priced within the same range, making decisions either easier or more challenging—I haven't decided yet
Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our breakfast at Bertha. Good service and the food came out quickly. Great coffee, actually, the best one I have had in a long time.

One of the best coffees I’ve ever had! And the poached eggs with Polish sausage and homemade chili oil - must have! My partner had Turkish eggs, also very yummy.
Sadly, no more photos were taken, food was simply too good 🔥

This is my new favourite spot for breakfast and lunch when visiting Hobart!
Staff members are friendly and accommodating at all times.
Food is amazing, we came during the weekend and had two of the specials: steak and waffles and also tried the fish toast. Everything was well-served, cooked and seasoned to perfection and absolutely delicious!
We came again during the week
to enjoy some of the lunch options as well: chicken burger, fries, salad sandwich and gnocchi and they didn’t disappoint!
Coffee was great too, specially the salted caramel honeycomb latte.

10/10, will be definitely coming back!

Loved our experience at Berta! Little gem in the heart of Hobart! The food variety and flavour was incredible and service was great! Coffee was also very good! The place was a little hard to find due to the lack of signage!

BERTA SWEET BERTA...

We ordered the special fritters and the eggs Benedict on muffin bread, both very good, but that is the most expensive breakfast we ever had. One muffin bread in half with two eggs on top, added two slices of ocean trout topped up with the hollandaise suace, the food cost of this dish is literally around $5 and selling it for x6 times more it feels like a robbery. The long black was the smallest I ever received, especially for that price! Hot water and one shot of coffee, how much would that cost?

The weirdest thing I ever seen is that to go to the bathroom you literally have to walk through to the kitchen while the chef are cooking, plating and preparing dishes for the costumers, the hospitality and higene law in Tasmania must be unique and different then rest of Australia!

What happens if you sneeze or you cough while walking through the kitchen while the staff is cooking or preparing any food Or you have dog poo under your shoes, or really can be anything!!! Any bacteria from the toilets goes under your shoes and infect any area that you walk...

Surprised that the chef are accepting to work in this condition and not complaining about it. Moving and turning around with knife...

From a restaurant owner that is a BIG NO COMMENT! And is that even legal?

This place is an absolute gem. Super cute little Cafe with a beautiful setting, very welcoming and cosy. Our waitress was a bit under the pump but she handle herself well and we understood the rush of getting in our order before menu change. So many incredible options, it was hard for us to decide. We were hungry too so naturally we over ordered. We ordered the Kimchi friend rice to share. This was hands down one of the best fried rices ever. 🤤 we also order 2 brekky mains as well, which was definitely too much but so worth it. We had the Mediterranean and the Turkish breakfast. Very very generous portions but the flavours were spot on. I'm not a huge fan of falafel but I was even impressed by those. The beautiful rich sauces and the accompaniments with each dish was incredible. Will definitely be back and highly recommend! 5 🌟
