A Canberra foodie's adventures
My friends and I booked into Beltana Farm, the newest restaurant open in Pialligo. No it doesn’treplace the former Pialligo Estate, it’s at a completely different address. I don’t even remember whatwas here before this place. I’m a bit worried about parking as I drive in as I know there areroadworks along Beltana Farm. Luckily, […] Read more…
Note: We were invited as guests to dine in and try the 4-course tasting menu at Poachers Pantry. However, all opinions are my own. I hadn’t been back to Poachers Pantry out in Hall in years, so when I received an email inviting us to come try the Spring tasting menu, it was a definite […] Read more…
While visiting Melbourne for the weekend, a friend and I wanted to try Japanese restaurant Kisume for lunch. I really wanted to try Kuro Kisume, the chef’s table upstairs (only 14 seats), but it had been booked out several weeks in advance so we settled on the ground floor sushi bar and restaurant. I chose […] Read more…
After my experience at the launch of the Pialligo Estate Garden Pavilions late last year, I was keen to go back to try out the newly introduced breakfast menu. Michelle of HerCanberra and I made a breakfast date last week to check it out. We walked past and peeked into Pialligo Estate’s second kitchen in […] Read more…
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…
With my fellow foodie friends Mr STTA and Dr L, we booked into Sage’s Taste and Test night, now in its fourth year. I’ve attended a few times in the past (see links to March 2014, October 2013, August 2013) and I always think this is such a worthwhile event. For $75, you get 5 […] Read more…
Sage is one of my favourite relaxed fine-dining restaurants in Canberra. For taking part in their ‘Taste and Test’, my friends and I were rewarded with another 5-course dinner for $60 to try out their new Spring 2013 tasting menu. This menu is a result of all the feedback they gathered from the Taste and […] Read more…
I received a text message from Sage Dining introducing the ‘Taste and Test’ 5-course tasting menu ($60) available for diners to provide feedback on their new menu. This is a heavily discounted deal running Tuesday to Thursday nights until September 26. Great opportunity to test out their new concepts. Sage is one of my favourite […] Read more…
As the big news at the moment is that Mork’s is shutting down its Florey restaurant and moving to the Kingston Foreshore (opening mid-September 2013), and may be changing up the menu and most likely its prices too, a few friends and I decided to try out their tasting menu. Mork’s is located in a […] Read more…
Being a mad foodie visiting the big apple, New York City, I just had to try a Michelin three star restaurant. Daniel was one of the restaurants with availability for the time we were there. I made a 6pm booking for my partner and I. Upon entering through the rotating sliding doors, you enter into […] Read more…
