Scholé
“The Greek word for leisure (scholé) is the origin of Latin scola, the name for the institutions of education and learning mean ‘leisure’. To the ancient mind, scholé was about pursuing creativity and losing oneself in the process.”
Scholé is a restaurant and wine bar in Ivy Preddis' original confectionery shop at 227 Liverpool Street, Hobart.
It is a place for leisure, connection and community, where harmony, humanity and curiosity sit at the heart of everything we craft.

Walk-ins only, no booking required
Food
Our cooking has a reverence for seasonal rhythms, biodynamic process and local produce. Ingredients come from friends, neighbours and our most thoughtful growers, and every act of careful cultivation is celebrated in this kitchen.
Because our menus change often, following the seasons and the market, we're unable to cater to to Vegan, FODMAP or dairy free dietary requirements.
Drinks
Behind the bar, our list reads like an inventory of old friends. We treasure our relationships with winemakers who follow principles of organic farming and spontaneous fermentation. Our sake is similarly nurtured and sourced by Matt Young and the team at Black Market Sake. Two considered cocktails and their spirited counterparts complete the offering.
Acknowledgement
Scholé acknowledges that it stands on the unceded sovereign lands of the Muwinina and Palawa people of Nipaluna. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future, and to the spirit of reciprocity that underpins Indigenous land management and community care.
