A Canberra foodie's adventures
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…
I met up with some friends at new Gungahlin burger joint, Oscy’s Burgers, a few weekends ago. 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…
Some friends and I headed to Knuckles restaurant in the Harmonie German Club for some German food for dinner. There was a bit of a wait at the door to sign people in / sign up for membership, but we had luckily booked a table so there were no problems there. Orders are paid for […] Read more…

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…
Hidden away inside Manuka Village is a small oasis surrounded by plants that is the Secret Garden cafe. I stumbled across it while getting our wedding rings ordered at Village Jewellers (who I highly recommend btw). Secret Garden has an all day menu plus a specials menu – I noticed mainly Western brunches (bacon and […] Read more…
A group of friends and I headed to Byron Bay for an extra long weekend to celebrate a friend’s 40th birthday. It was the first weekend of Spring and the weather was fantastic. We walked to the Byron Bay Lighthouse and the most eastern point of the Australian mainland. We hit up the beach, some […] Read more…
Stanley’s is a relatively new family friendly pub located in Bruce (replacing what was Ellacure) with beers on tap and regularly changing specials. My friends and I headed there for Saturday lunch (with no reservation). About 70% of the tables were reserved however there were a few small tables available. The space inside is quite […] Read more…
I’ve dined at Pho Phu Quoc in Dickson a couple of times now. It’s a great place for fast Vietnamese food with an extensive menu. House specialties include camp fire beef, roast duck, chilli mussels, Vietnamese sour soup and steam boat. On a Friday night, the place is absolutely packed. There are always people coming […] Read more…
