A Canberra foodie's adventures
I finally got to try out one of Mork’s signature dishes on Saturday night. The Angel Prawns. I’d seen these back in their Florey location but they weren’t part of the tasting menu I was trying out, so I was eager to go back for them. At $24 for this entree of 6 prawns, it […] Read more…
As mentioned in a previous post, there is a new restaurant in Kingston. Il Portico had its soft launch tonight. We were greeted very warmly by the friendly restaurant staff. The inside of the modern looking restaurant is decorated with the colours of Italy – red, green and white. There are softly padded white bench […] Read more…
Walking around the bus depot markets in Kingston with half of Canberra, I did a lap of the mini food court. The crepe stall (forget what they’re called) had some samples of something cake-like on the counter. Not knowing what it was, I sampled a tiny sliver. I fell in love with this instantly and […] Read more…
My partner and I headed to Public in Manuka for dinner on Saturday night. With no reservation, we easily got a table outside under the heaters. Let’s go straight to my favourite part of any meal – DESSERT! A friend recommended I try out the peanut butter baklava ($12) for dessert, mentioning that it was […] Read more…
Morks has opened its doors at the Kingston Foreshore. Luckily it looks like a much bigger space than their previous Florey spot. Located next door to C Dine Bar, there is outdoor dining available too. There are four items on their weekend brunch menu such as congee, and poached eggs with a Thai twist. Brunch […] Read more…
Waking up early on a Saturday morning, my partner and I decided to head into Griffith for brunch at Gryphons caffe and bar. I do like the Griffith shops. It has restaurants Aubergine and Rubicon located there, as well as an organic fruit and vegetable shop, Greek wholefoods store, a butcher and a massage centre. […] Read more…
The Artisan in Narrabundah is a restaurant I’ve been meaning to try out for quite some time. A friend organised dinner here on Friday night so I was very excited to finally try it out. I was warmly greeted upon entering the restaurant and shown to our table. The waiter provided the drinks list, kindly […] Read more…
I headed back to C Dine Bar with some friends on a sunny Spring morning. I’d already tried out their $25 breakfast prefix menu a few weeks ago, but was keen to try it again. As it was such a beautiful day, we sat outside. The wooden benches were long and made comfortable with cushion […] Read more…
Mint Rd – A new coffee spot and cafe opened up in Narrabundah a few weeks ago. I tried it out for breakfast one Sunday morning. When walking inside the small cafe, I was greeted warmly by staff. The first thing I noticed was the magnificent green Italian coffee machine. I’d read that Mint Rd […] Read more…
Konoba at Hotel Realm in Barton looks pretty schmick. The photos are a bit dark (iphone cameras are not great with dim settings) but the inside of the restaurant had nice sleek and sophisticated furnishings as it should for a 5 star restaurant. I was pretty pleased that our group of 10 were able to […] Read more…
