A relative newcomer to the North Hobart food scene, Trophy Room may be tucked away on a residential corner with Venetian blinds blocking out its windows, but looks can be deceiving. Inside, it’s a bustling café-restaurant that got its start serving brunch before expanding into lunch and eventually as it became more popular, Friday and Saturday dinner.
Trophy Room’s emphasis is on house-made, and much of the menu’s baked goods are produced within its four walls. A favourite dish with diners is the mortadella cruller: house-made pastry filled with cheese and pepper, served with mortadella sliced fresh on the Trophy Room meat slicer. Bellissimo.
