During the Christmas shutdown period, I decided it was time to shop around for a new mattress. Halfway through browsing the many mattress shops in Fyshwick, I drove past Elaine’s Gourmet Pies (located at the bend of Wollongong Street) which was the only food shop open during that period. The sign claims these are award winning pies so I thought I’d stop and have a quick lunch.
Quite a few pies were already gone when I got there around 1pm. The different types of pies include chilli con carne, beef stroganoff, pepper chicken, curry steak, chunky pepper steak and more. Prices range from $4.90 to $5.90 each.
I decided on the steak, onion, tomato and potato pie ($5.90). This was awesome – the steak was chunky and tasted great, the gravy was delicious, and the potato (hidden underneath the cheese) was fluffy and light – I loved how there was lots of it. I wanted more!
One of the best pies I’ve had in Canberra. Yum!
