The Astor Grill
The Astor Grill is an award-winning Hobart establishment which first opened its doors back in 1982. Little has changed since its opening, retaining classic formal decor and the great nine-strong steak menu offering variety. The Astor Grill team take pride in the locally sourced, fresh ingredients used. If you’re stuck on what to order, we recommend The Steak Astor which is a 200g grass-fed eye fillet served with blue cheese sauce and gorgonzola dolce crumbs. Plus, don’t forget to also check out their constantly changing wine menu too.
