A Canberra foodie's adventures
Walking into work early this morning, I was greeted by a friendly man standing on the street who informed me that a new cafe/coffee shop just a few doors down had opened up, offering free coffees to everyone today. Who can pass up free coffee?! The cafe is called Quizine, located on Botany Street in […] Read more…
A friend and I headed to Koochi Afghan Cafe in Gungahlin on a Sunday to try out their Afghani Bedouin breakfast (a Livingsocial deal I’d purchased). I had to wiki ‘Bedouin’ which translates in Arabic to mean nomad or wanderer. Not really knowing what Afghani food was like, I was very curious in trying this […] Read more…
Waking up early on a Saturday morning, my partner and I decided to head into Griffith for brunch at Gryphons caffe and bar. I do like the Griffith shops. It has restaurants Aubergine and Rubicon located there, as well as an organic fruit and vegetable shop, Greek wholefoods store, a butcher and a massage centre. […] Read more…
I headed back to C Dine Bar with some friends on a sunny Spring morning. I’d already tried out their $25 breakfast prefix menu a few weeks ago, but was keen to try it again. As it was such a beautiful day, we sat outside. The wooden benches were long and made comfortable with cushion […] Read more…
4th Seed is a great new-ish cafe in the Queanbeyan CBD serving breakfast and lunch. I’d read a review that the French Toast was pretty good but was only available on weekends. So on a free Saturday morning, I headed over. They have a display cabinet of yummy treats like macarons, tarts, muffins, cakes and […] Read more…
Mint Rd – A new coffee spot and cafe opened up in Narrabundah a few weeks ago. I tried it out for breakfast one Sunday morning. When walking inside the small cafe, I was greeted warmly by staff. The first thing I noticed was the magnificent green Italian coffee machine. I’d read that Mint Rd […] Read more…
There are eggs galore on Ricetta‘s weekend brunch menu. Ricetta is an Italian cafe/pizzeria that also do breakfast pizzas and calzone (folded over pizza). It is hidden away in Manuka, at the M Centre along Palmerston Lane. I only discovered this place after seeing it on Livingsocial with a voucher deal for 2 people. I […] Read more…
I’d been wanting to try this place out for ages and finally had an opportunity on a Sunday afternoon. Great thing about Mocan and Green Grout is that its open for brunch both Saturday and Sunday which is quite rare for cafés in Civic. The cute and quirky little café reminds me of the cafés […] Read more…
The breakfast prefix menu at C Dine Bar provides a 2 course menu where you can choose what you would like in each course. It also includes an amuse bouche as a starter. I think this is the only venue in Canberra to offer a breakfast prefix. Love the idea! The amuse bouche was a […] Read more…
Loading Zone in Civic recently opened its doors for Saturday brunch. And of course, I wanted to try it out 😛 I ordered the Baked Eggs with tomato sugo, fennel, chick peas and sausage. This was nice, warm and hearty. I felt like I was at nonna’s house having a home-made breakfast. The eggs were […] Read more…
