The Picnic Basket Cafe

Best Known For

Beef burger with fried egg, bacon, cheese, tomato, pickle, greens and mayo, with a side of fries.

There are picnic baskets on the shelves and vibrant murals on the walls at locally loved The Picnic Basket Café on Channel Highway in Taroona. This quaint Hobart diner projects a cosy vibe of polished wood floors, shabby chic tables and colourful cushions, ideal for lingering over a brew and a bite to eat. Stop in for brunch and check out the goodies in the market store before delving into smashed avocado with Persian feta, poached egg, dukkah, pickled red onion and pomegranate, on grilled sourdough. Join a lively lunch crowd for plates like a Buddha bowl of brown rice, marinated tofu, mushroom, roasted pumpkin, zucchini and greens; or chow down on a housemade beetroot and sweet potato burger with cheese, tomato, avocado, pickle, greens and mayo, with a side of fries.
