Last Service at Piccalilly




Last month saw the last service at Piccalilly in Battery Point and the fabulously talented Iain Todd treated a full house of loyal followers to a selection of his best dishes created over the life of the restaurant. Piccalilly has now become the Battery Point Steakhouse and Iain's latest offering, Ethos at 100 Elizabeth Street in Hobart opens next Tuesday. The end of an era and the beginning of an Ethos.
