Book NowAbout Marla Singer
Bellerive’s Marla Singer delivers inventive, fine-dining-caliber food without the usual white-tablecloth formality. Hobart hospo regulars cross the river for the evening 'Let Us Feed You' menu—a chef-run lineup of dishes like Jerusalem artichokes with chickpea miso, nasturtium wrasse dumplings, and blackberry leaf ice cream. Come daytime, the kitchen pivots to savory muffalettas and house sourdough, while floor staff quietly land a bottle of sriracha beside a tuna melt before anyone needs to ask. Preservative-free wines and international taps round out a room that stays running straight through late afternoon.
- 'Let Us Feed You' Menu: Multi-course chef's choice lineup featuring unexpected pairings like nasturtium wrasse dumplings and chickpea miso Jerusalem artichokes.
- Elevated Daytime Fare: Daytime dining turns out savory muffalettas, housemade bread, and thoughtful table service.
- All-Day Kitchen Hours: Full food and drink service operates continuously from 3:00 to 5:00 PM when neighboring kitchens shut down.

Jordan M Continuous Kitchen Service During Awkward Hours
Unlike venues that enforce mid-afternoon split-shift kitchen closures, continuous service provides quality food and wine between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
We then stumbled across the fabulous Marla Singer with food and wine available 3:00 and 5:00 as well.
