A Canberra foodie's adventures
A friend’s wedding was held near Bowral NSW which provided an opportunity to check out Biota Dining. Some friends and I went there for lunch. Biota offers either a 5 course ($125) or 8 course ($175) tasting menu which is changed seasonally. We decided it was perfectly reasonable to indulge and chose the 8 course […] Read more…
My partner J and I decided to head out of Canberra and visit the Cork Street Cafe and Gallery in Gundaroo for pizza one weekend. I rang up beforehand to double check that they were open on a Sunday and made a booking while I was at it. Gundaroo is about a 35 minute drive […] Read more…
A few weeks ago, some friends and I headed to Berrima in NSW (1.5 hour drive north of Canberra) for birthday lunch #3. Eschalot Restaurant has won multiple awards as you can see once walking into the reception area including retaining one chef’s hat in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide. We were shown […] Read more…

On the drive home after our summer weekend in Thredbo, my partner introduced me to Sundance Bakehouse and Tea rooms in Nugget’s Crossing, Jindabyne. His family always buy up on the amazing meat pies and take them back to Canberra. This place has apparently won many awards for their pies so I was happy and […] Read more…
A group of us set out for Thredbo in the early morning for a weekend of summer activities. On the drive there, we stopped at the Wild Brumby Distillery for brunch. On that warm morning, the first thing I wanted was a cold drink, so I ordered freshly squeezed orange juice. It came out in […] Read more…
A friend and I drove out to Lark Hill Winery (not that we drink) to try out the restaurant. We heard about this place after reading an article in the Good Food Guide and after seeing a photo of the poached rhubarb dessert, I knew I had to try it! Located in Bungendore, it’s about […] Read more…
On our way to Sydney for the long weekend, my partner and I stopped at Grandma’s Little Bakery in Collector for brunch. It is about 40 minutes away from Canberra and located at the Fedra Olive Grove just off the Federal Highway. There is outdoor seating available, but as it was a windy Saturday, everyone […] Read more…
