Last Bite

Last Bite is a takeaway café in South Hobart that has built a steady following among locals who appreciate honest, no-fuss food at solid value. The menu covers the classics you’d expect from a good fish and chip shop, including dim sims, potato cakes, chips, burgers, and fresh sandwiches, alongside some items that genuinely set the place apart from the usual strip.

The bubble crumbed grenadier is the signature dish, and it earns the attention it gets. The rice bubble coating gives the fish a distinct crunch, and the result is something regulars come back for specifically. Chips are a point of pride too, consistently well-salted and generous in serve, with the chicken salt option drawing plenty of fans. The range leans Aussie through and through, with pies, crab sticks, and soft drinks rounding out a menu that suits a quick lunch stop or a casual family meal.

Service is reliably friendly and the food comes out hot and fresh. The shop is family-friendly and wheelchair accessible, with free street parking nearby, though traffic heading towards the Southern Outlet can make the street busy at peak times. For anyone travelling south through Hobart, Last Bite sits conveniently before Kingston and draws favourable comparisons to what’s on offer further down the road.

Phone ahead during the lunch rush to keep waiting time short.
