A Canberra foodie's adventures
Baked on Mort Street in Braddon is Les Bistronomes’ sister eatery in the same neighbourhood. Best known for its trade marked bragel – a hybrid of brioche and bagel, served for breakfast and lunch, Baked recently opened its doors for dinner. When I heard about their 8 course dinner for $40, I gathered some friends […] Read more…
Ming’s Pantry at No Name Lane in Acton opened up earlier in the year serving Malaysian street food. A friend and I went to check it out for lunch one weekday. There weren’t many tables which filled up quickly with the lunch time rush. There is a self serve water and cutlery station available. I […] Read more…
On a day off, I love to sit amongst the bustle of Silo Bakery. Either inside watching the endless stream of loyal customers stare at the cabinet full of baked goodies and clutch at their white paper bags filled with their purchases (you can’t stop at one), or outside at one of the three tables […] Read more…
A friend and I headed to Selli’s in Garema Place in Canberra city for lunch. I had walked past a few weeks earlier and was impressed with the reasonable prices. Selli’s offers burgers, sandwiches, toasties, hot dogs and milkshakes as well as a breakfast menu with various bagels. The desserts include pecan pie, key lime […] Read more…
Sanya Bar is situated on Lonsdale Street in Braddon sandwiched between Binny’s Kathitto and Tipsy Bull. You’ll notice the bright red Chinese lanterns strung up outside. Have you sat under our lanterns? It’s always Chinese New Year at Sanya Bar #cyaatsanya #nuskool A post shared by SanyaBarCBR (@sanyabarcbr) on Mar 6, 2018 at 3:03am PST […] Read more…
I’ve revisited Teddy Picker’s in Campbell a few times now for brunch since a previous post on the café. However, it was my first time ordering their famous French toast which changes according to the season. The summer version incorporated fresh mango, mango sorbet, lime curd and milk crumb ($18). Oh my goodness – it […] Read more…

The menu consists of eight burgers including beef, chicken, lamb, salmon and veggie as well as the recent addition of buffalo wings. There are also extras you can add to your burger such as bacon, hash brown, avocado […] Read more…
Ona coffee’s latest venture, Highroad, opened its doors in Dickson late last year. Reservations are not accepted on weekends, and only tables of 8 or more can be reserved on weekdays. On a Saturday morning, it was about a 20 minute wait for a table of four. The cafe is very spacious holding a long […] Read more…
* I was invited as a guest of Daana, however all opinions are my own. If you remember the shipping container village Westside in Acton, you might have come across Daana specialising in South Indian cuisine. As Westside is no more, the team at Daana, Sunita and Sanjay, moved their business to Curtin to start […] Read more…
La Cantina at the Narrabundah shops offer a 2-course lunch set menu for $19 Tuesday-Fridays. During my holiday break, I headed in to try it out. The polished wooden floorboards, white linen table cloths, a brick facade and European paintings add a lovely touch of elegance. There was a choice of 3 starters and 9 […] Read more…
