Franklin Restaurant
It was a Ford showroom in the 1920s then home to The Mercury newspaper. Now you’ll find a pared-back, concrete and blond-wood space where a wood-fired scotch oven takes centre stage. If you love the essence of simple dishes cooked with passion, this is the diner for you. You can come for eggs, great coffee or Pigeon Whole bakery pastries during the daytime; in the evening enjoy chef David Moyle’s deceptive simplicity – be it wood-roasted octopus or Bruny Island wallaby with coffee brown butter. Franklin also boasts a delightful selection of natural wines on its concise, well-considered list.
