Sush Track is among the Hobart eateries reopening to diners

Tasmanian restaurants are ready to reopen their doors to dine-in customers as the state begins stage one of easing coronavirus restrictions.

ONE Hobart waterfront venue is already booked out for lunch and dinner as Tasmanians jump at the chance to eat out again.

Sush Track on Franklin Wharf is one of a selection of Tasmanian eateries to reopen for limited table service on Monday under stage one of the easing of coronavirus restrictions.

Sush Track director David Painter said the 10-person rule suited the outlet with its small floor space.

“It allows us to keep our full contingent of staff,” Mr Painter said.

There was no shortage of customers keen to dine in, with all of Tuesday’s lunch and dinner bookings snapped up.

Sush Track will continue to take bookings only as long as social distancing rules of one person per four square metres apply.

Like food businesses across the state, Sush Track has been forced to transform itself more than once to meet the changing parameters of the coronavirus-era.

The popular sushi train venue has gone from a no bookings, walk-in model to a full takeaway and delivery model to a booking-only model.

“We’ve had a lot of new customers because we were running deliveries from Sandford to Brighton,” Mr Painter said. “The local support has been huge.”

Highlighting the challenges faced by larger venues, Sush Track’s next door neighbour, Frank Restaurant and Bar, remains closed.

The celebrated restaurant has been closed indefinitely since late March.

In a social media post last week the venue’s operators said exciting things were happening behind the scenes and they hoped to be back in action in July.
