Reliquaire

Top choice in Tasmania


After a fire destroyed its Gilbert St outlet, this marvellously eccentric shop and cafe relocated to a 19th-century mansion nearby. Customers travel here from Devonport and beyond to source a huge range of quality imported and Australian toys, homewares and knick-knacks, often staying to enjoy a naturopathic tea or an excellent coffee made with beans roasted by Villino in Hobart.
