A Canberra foodie's adventures
I was in Sydney one weekend for a friend’s hens night. We were on our way to high tea at The Cortile in the Intercontinental Hotel Sydney. High tea is $60 per person and includes a glass of champagne (or juice if you don’t drink). The hotel is built around the historic Treasury Building of […] Read more…
Penny University in Kingston is one of my favourite spots for brunch so I decided to write a compilation of my brunches since the beginning of the year. Let’s start with the blueberry and ricotta hotcakes ($16). This was impressive – more like one hotcake but it was one massive THICK hotcake. I was really […] Read more…
One of my workmates introduced me to cheap pho at Savoury Kitchen in Westfield Woden. Located in the corner of the food court, Savoury Kitchen offers Vietnamese food such as rice paper rolls, pho and other noodle dishes, as well as your typical Western favourite Asian foods – honey chicken, salt and pepper squid and […] Read more…
Walt and Burley recently introduced its weekend breakfast menu. There was talk about it opening for breakfast after it had settled in to the Kingston Foreshore so I was super excited to try it out. Love the idea of brunch by the lakeside in Spring. The one page menu has enough to satisfy most people […] Read more…
Walking through Braddon to grab some take away dinner, I noticed an ‘Opening Soon’ sign for Eighty/Twenty Food. Doing a little bit of research into the place, the focus is 80% on healthy good food and 20% on indulgence. Officially opening earlier this week, sister duo and owners of Eighty/Twenty, Klarisa and Tihana have brought […] Read more…
After my first visit to Black Fire for lunch last weekend, a group of friends and I went back to try out the breakfast menu. It’s been updated slightly since last weekend so here’s another shot of the breakfast menu below. Our lovely waitress also mentioned the breakfast special of the day, an intriguing snapper […] Read more…
Tucked away on Dundas Court in Phillip is Eat Me Drink Me – a small cafe serving Nerissimo coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, pies and surprisingly dumplings! The inside of the cafe is as playful as it’s name. Bright blue floor tiles, fuchsia painted walls on one side and lime green walls on the other. There are […] Read more…
Some friends and I went for an early morning bike ride around the lake and decided to stop in for brunch in Yarralumla. I’d been to Beess & Co at the Yarralumla shops a few years ago and found it a charming spot, so I suggested trying it out again. There are a few cakes […] Read more…
I first dined at Mr Shabu Shabu in New Acton about 3 years ago and remembered it was a good cheap meal. I went back with some friends for a pre-show dinner and knew I’d want another shabu shabu as it was a freezing night. Shabu shabu is a dish of thinly sliced meat and […] Read more…
I’d been eagerly waiting for Black Fire Restaurant in Braddon to open its doors. Specialising in authentic Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, the dinner and dessert menu was up on the website before the restaurant was even open causing me some serious hunger pangs. Located on Mort Street in the Habitat apartment complex (next to the […] Read more…
