I headed to Chez Frederic in Braddon for dinner with a friend. This fairly new cafe on Lonsdale Street opened up earlier this year. Its website states it’s a gourmet take away, dine-in and catering cafe. I’d originally read a blog that gave a nice introduction to it. I like how the menu is split […] Read more…
Italian and Sons has been on my food bucket list for about three years now. I’ve been meaning to go but never got around to organising it. So my partner and I made a dinner reservation for Valentine’s Day. There are two sittings – 6.30pm and 8.30pm. We chose the 6.30pm slot as I’m usually […] Read more…
Lunch was had with friends at Mood Food & Co on Lonsdale Street in Braddon. I quite enjoyed my first time there and was happy to go back. Lunch is different to the dinner menu which was exciting. Lots of yummy sounding things such as the crispy puffed duck, and the pulled pork belly calzone […] Read more…
Autolyse, a popular bakery and cafe in Braddon, is a place I’ve been meaning to check out for nearly a year. I always hear great things about it but just never managed to get down there. I finally got some time to go early in the New Year. I had a look at the website […] Read more…
The Mandalay Bus is open for business again! Located at the end of Lonsdale Street, at Haig Park, the double decker yellow bus is selling hot take away food (similar to Brodburger in its early days). I’ve been reading up on this place and it had previously been serving food to a variety of people […] Read more…
The latest addition to Lonsdale Street in Braddon, Mood Food & Co, opened its doors yesterday. My friend and I arrived for dinner and were greeted warmly by our waiter and shown to a table. Tap water was immediately provided and poured into our glasses. The indoor area is smallish inside with a huge long […] 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…
As part of Canberra’s first Good Food Month, Eightysix are putting on a special lunch each Sunday of October for $55 per person. The Good Food Month website states, ‘Prepare to share some bright spring options including some bubbles to set the mood.’ There wasn’t any other information available such as how many courses or […] 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…
