This review is for Liv-Eat Sandwich Bars, Hobart TAS

verified email - 24 Oct 2009

Liv-Eat has two sandwich bars in the CBD area (Collins St and one in the Elizabeth St mall).
They offer a number of tasty soups each day, and also have salads and premade paninis you can get toasted, or you can get a salad roll made up to your taste.
They also do coffees, which I'm told are good. They have a special on coffees - I think they are $2 before 11am.

This review is for Amigo's Mexican Restaurant, North Hobart TAS

verified email - 24 Oct 2009

This is 1 of only 2 Mexican restaurants in Hobart, and it has the best atmosphere out of the two (the other restaurant is much louder). Amigos is located on the North Hobart restaurant strip so parking can sometimes be difficult.

I recommend the spicy tomato soup (although sometime's it's not very spicy), and the New York fajitas.

They do takeaway or dine-in.

This review is for Jackman & McRoss Bakery, Battery Point TAS

Great little bakery with 3 locations around Hobart (Battery Point, City and Newtown). The bread is always fresh, crusty and tasty.
They also have delicious dishes to eat in at a reasonable price. Service is always prompt and polite. Couldn't ask for better.

This review is for Nut King, Hobart TAS

Although they do cost more than buying at the supermarket, it's a great place to go if you're looking for a healthier snack while you're in the city.
They have a large selection of nuts and soya chips etc. yum!

This review is for Inside Home & Gifts, Hobart TAS

Cute little store in the centre of Hobart which offers a good range of gifts. They stock a little of everything from children's books, notepads, cushions, jewellery through to L'occitane skin products.
Some things are cheaper than you find in other stores, but most items are double what they are in large department stores.
They do have a lot of unique products you can't buy at other places in Hobart, which makes it great if you're looking for something a little different.

This review is for Savoy Day Spa, Hobart TAS

verified email - 21 Oct 2009

I regularly get massages at Savoy and the staff are generally very good (although some are not all that good at remedial massage and don't seem to listen to what you say).
I have tried eyebrow waxing a few times but I'm always disappointed. The last time I got my eyebrows waxed there I actually had people noticed and tell me the shape was wrong!
The float, bubble and steam is generally good, although the last few times I've been (over a 12 month period), there always seems to be one spa out of action which is annoying given it costs $26.
Very disappointing that they no longer have the exfoliating scrub in the steam room.

This review is for Chloe's Complete Flower Shop, Hobart TAS

verified email - 21 Oct 2009

This shop has recently moved so it is now inside KTs cafe. They always do beautiful professional flower arrangements at a reasonable (not cheap) price.
Generally the quality is good, but there have been a few occasions when I don't think the flowers used were all that fresh.

This review is for Flynn's Pet Shop, Hobart TAS

verified email - 21 Oct 2009

I usually buy items for my tropical fish tank here, such as fish food and filters etc.
Their tropical fish food is more expensive than many other places (such as Animal Tuckerbox or Pets Domain).
It's a small store and can get a bit crowded but they do stock a reasonable range of items for a small store.

This review is for Richmond Bakery, Hobart TAS

verified email - 21 Oct 2009

Great quality bakery, located in Richmond as well as a store in the city.
My favourite item from there is their cheese sticks (which I think are also available at The Wursthouse in Salamanca).
Great breads as well.
It's convenient to be able to get the old fashioned quality you expect from the Richmond Bakery in the convenient location of the city.

This review is for La Cuisine Trafalgar, Hobart TAS

I often buy family sized quiches from La Cuisine as they are good value and tasty. They also offer a great range of fresh salad and breads, as well as nice cakes and dessert items.
You can eat in or take away.
