A Canberra foodie's adventures
After the recent launch of Joe’s Bar at the East Hotel in Kingston, Muse has opened up nearby. Part book store, part wine bar and part cafe, Muse offers a sleek new hangout all day and night. There was no signage out the front of the East Hotel (yet) so J and I walked in […] Read more…
* I dined as a guest of Joe’s Bar, however all opinions are my own. I was kindly invited to try out the newly opened Joe’s Bar located at the East Hotel in Kingston, where Ox Eatery is also situated. Owned by brother and sister duo, Dan and Dion Bisa, who also run East Hotel, […] Read more…
My partner J and I had dinner close to home at Me and Mrs Jones in Kingston when we both didn’t feel like cooking that night. I hadn’t dined there in a long time (I’ve previously found it to be very hit and miss) so it was interesting to see the updated menu. There were […] Read more…
A new Latino American restaurant is in town. Mazorca offers Central American, Salvadoran and Mexican style food in Kingston’s green square (replacing Bodega de Pintxos). The fit out inside hasn’t really changed but I could see a new mural on the back wall. The mural of farmers picking corn fits the name of the restaurant […] Read more…
As part of Good Food Month, Silo Bakery in Kingston is holding a 3-course set lunch menu for $38. This offer is available Tuesday to Saturday lunch during the month of October. I was greeted at the door and shown to a table. The set lunch menu was explained to me and includes either a […] Read more…
Saigon Foodies opened up about 3 weeks ago in Kingston’s Green Square. The signage outside implies the place is all about Vietnamese street food. I was excited to see a picture of a banh mi! The inside is very small (I actually don’t remember what used to be here?) with only 5 small tables in […] Read more…
Today was Highgate Lane’s official opening. Located inside the Cusack Centre (entrance next to Bittersweet) in Kingston’s Green Square, Highgate Lane is the latest coffee roasters and cafe to open in Canberra. An impressive looking motorbike is on display by the front ready to be admired by motorcycling enthusiasts (e.g my partner). The warehouse look […] 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…
I follow Penny University’s facebook page and noticed they recently introduced cronuts to their weekend menu. I’m informed that their bakers get in at 2am so the earlier you go in, the better chance you have of buying one. These maple and thyme glazed cronuts are displayed at the front counter near the cash register […] Read more…
I’ve walked through Green Square in Kingston the last couple of months wondering what would open up in the building being renovated there. I think quite a bit of work went into the building’s facade. After reading Canberra Time article, I was excited to read that Little Brooklyn would be a New York inspired bar […] Read more…
