IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR a date night restaurant where you can have a private conversation in a dark corner, move along. If, however, you're up for a shared table meal with eight strangers who might just become friends by the end of the night, then highly regarded chef Luke Burgess’s new diner, Scholé, is the place for you. Situated on the fringe of Hobart's CBD, this is a tiny jewel box of a restaurant where Burgess serves elegant, Japanese-inspired dishes for just 10 diners at a time. It’s intimate.
