We randomly stumbled across this place while we were looking for somewhere for lunch in Devonport and were very glad we did. Can highly recommend the share plates — we had the beef croquettes, sliders and agria potato skins and they were all outstanding, especially the potato skins. Impressive cocktail and drinks menu too.

Great find in the middle of Devonport’s main street. Bette’s is primarily a wine bar with a tapas style menu and eclectic décor with a Kiwiana vibe. Cosy rugs and heaters are on hand to beat off the winter chill. We ordered four share plates — slow braised beef ribs, a tower of red onion rings, roasted cauliflower and potato fries(which come in skinny or fat with roasted garlic aioli). Amazing flavours, each dish had thoughtful presentation and very generous portions. I really enjoyed the roasted cauliflower paired with capers and almonds, delicious. Service was prompt, the waiter knew his way away around the menu and could recommend his favourites. Pretty sure I’ll return to try more of the menu. And good value, $ 36 for our four plates.

Not long opened, Bette’s is my new favourite Devonport eatery. Hands down. The very fact that it has been packed since opening, suggests that I am not the only one who feels the same. Offering little tapas plates for sharing, the food that comes out of this kitchen is seriously something else. The prices are pretty reasonable for some of the scrummiest food you will find this side of the Harbour bridge. My last visit I went with my auntie who is a Devonport Local and has seen many eateries come and go in this area, and even she was impressed. In the actual restaurant It’s set up as a nod to as they put it ‘nana nostalgia’, a sort of 50’s Parisian chic, complete with golden syrup tins, antique plates and a little retro bicycle holding the door open. Be prepared to have this little eatery charm your socks off.
