Institut Polaire – wine bar and brasserie.

Tasmania’s coolest locale. This cold climate wine bar and brasserie embraces Tasmania’s long-held status as the gateway to Antarctica with a passion for everything coldhearted. Settle in the snowy interior of marble and plush grey leather at Institut Polaire.

A seafood forward, seasonal menu of fresh plates from quality local growers, fishers and farmers features pristine seafood from the Southern ocean, a changing repertoire of handmade pasta, local oysters and salumi from the berkel slicer. Alpine food traditions like pickling, fermenting, smoking and curing drives our spirit of exploration.

Twice awarded Australia’s best wine list (100 wines) in Australia’s wine list of the year awards. Dive into cold climate wine from some of the world’s most revered and challenging terroir. Savour aromatic gin, alpine amaro, artisan single malt and new wave Tasmanian pinot noir.

Founded by Louise Radman and winemaker Nav Singh, Institut Polaire is also the home of Süd Polaire spirits and Domaine Simha wine. The range is available for cellar door sales and tasting flights throughout the afternoon or walk in for wine, cocktails and dining of an evening.
