Time shouldn’t stand between you and a great meal.

Whether dining in or grabbing takeaway, we bring fresh, thoughtfully crafted food to the working crowd.
Julian Volkmer
Owner/Chef
Born and raised in Lippstadt, Germany, Julian Volkmer’s journey to the kitchen began with a push from his father and a chance newspaper ad. Trained in classic French cuisine, he honed his craft across Michelin-starred kitchens, cruise liners, and management roles before landing in Hobart in 2016.
After six years at MONA, followed by leading roles at Peacock and Jones and Cascade Brewery, Julian was drawn to an 1830s building in Hobart, inspiring WunderBar—a place where French culinary tradition meets Tasmania’s finest produce.
Beyond the kitchen, he’s a loving stepfather, devoted Dog Dad, car enthusiast, tech fanatic, and fashion lover. Whether behind the pass or the wheel, precision and passion drive everything he does.
