Summer menu @ Local Press Cafe

Local Press Cafe is my local breakfast spot and being an early morning person, I usually go for a walk or bike ride around the lake before stopping in for breakfast. The cafe offers completely wholefood and healthy options for both breakfast and lunch. I can never pass on a cold pressed juice ($7) from […] Read more…

Latino American tapas @ Mazorca

A new Latino American restaurant is in town. Mazorca offers Central American, Salvadoran and Mexican style food in Kingston’s green square (replacing Bodega de Pintxos). The fit out inside hasn’t really changed but I could see a new mural on the back wall. The mural of farmers picking corn fits the name of the restaurant […] Read more…

Brunch @ Ona on the Lawns

Happy New Year all! I hope everyone had a peaceful and relaxing Christmas and New Year’s break. Thankfully, there were a few cafes and restaurants still open during the Christmas break in Canberra. I headed to Ona on the Lawns in Manuka for brunch with my friend Mr STTA. I’d been to Ona before its […] Read more…

Brunch @ Fox & Bow and GIVEAWAY!

Tucked away on the corner of the Farrer Shops is Fox & Bow, a cafe that recently opened up. I got there early on a Sunday morning, around 9.45am, to find a few people enjoying the sunshine outside. You can’t help noticing the large colourful mural along the wall outside which has additional seating. One […] Read more…

Saturday brunch @ Dream Cuisine

Dream Cuisine in Fyshwick expanded (earlier this year?) taking over the shop that was next door. This means there is a lot more space to sit down and enjoy the wonderful macarons, tarts and coffee that Dream Cuisine produces. Brunch was on hiatus for a few months (their chef had a skiing accident!). However, Saturday […] Read more…

Brunch @ Eightysix

I missed out on trying brunch at Eightysix during Good Food Month so I was really happy when I found out Eightysix brunch is here to stay! Brunch only available Sunday’s. I headed in early in the morning and got a seat at the kitchen counter (best seats in the house). I’d seen a sample […] Read more…

Breakfast @ Lonsdale Street Roasters 7

I took a few days of leave and, of course, planned my days around where I would eat. I decided to finally try out Lonsdale Street Roasters 7 after its expansion onto the second floor of the building. I went in for an early morning breakfast and it was already busy with people hanging around […] Read more…

The popular Smoque BBQ restaurant has quietly opened in Woden and introduced breakfast at this new flagship. For the last few weeks, loyal followers have been teased with photos of various types of waffles on Facebook and eagerly anticipating the opening. That day is today with Smoque Woden’s Facebook post announcing a soft opening today […] Read more…

French dining @ Les Bistronomes (Braddon)

New French restaurant Les Bistronomes has opened up where Delissio’s used to be in Braddon. Head Chef Clement Chauvin started out working in two-Michelin Star restaurants in France, moved to London to work in one of Gordon Ramsey’s restaurants and made the move to Canberra to work at Sage, Waters Edge and a short consultancy […] Read more…

Breakfast @ Superfine Cafe

Tucked away on the corner of Mort and Bunda Street in the city, is newly opened Superfine Cafe serving coffee, breakfast and lunch. Some signage out the front gives you an indication of the types of goodies sold here. Did you know that both owners are Olympians? Zuzana, who competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics […] Read more…
