With all the new café openings to keep up with, it’s nice to go back to an established café. Two for Joy has been in Kingston’s Green Square for years, and is still going strong. I recently rediscovered it when trying to find a place for weekend breakfast within walking distance. The weekly changing breakfast […] Read more…
Wildflour is located in the middle of Fyshwick (taking over from what was Remy’s Bakery), an artisan bakery and cafe. It looks exactly the same though the display cabinet is a lot more appealing with a big range of cakes and tarts as well as hot pies. But it’s Wildflour’s croissant and doughnut stand that […] Read more…
La Baguette by R and M is a French bakery located in the School of Arts building at the Australian National University. It recently opened on Saturdays which is great news for the rest of Canberra that do not work near the ANU. French pastries, baguettes and tarts are baked on site every day. The […] Read more…
I’m a sucker for baked eggs. When I know an eatery makes great baked eggs, it’s difficult to order anything else. Hardware Societe is another eatery that I try to visit every time I’m in Melbourne. Mainly because of its ridiculously awesome baked eggs. Considering it’s a French-influenced eatery, it’s no wonder I like it. […] Read more…
Kettle and Tin in Mawson offers an all day menu, cruffins, coffee, fresh juices and milkshakes. At brunch o’clock, the sun hits the windows and lights up the already bright cafe.

Located upstairs at the Fyshwick Fresh Food Markets, Winifred’s Place is a much more feminine (fluffy pink cushions, candles and rose gold decor) version of its sister restaurant Chez Frederic (CF). Winifred’s breaks away from the mostly pasta dishes of CF, bringing some quirkier dishes to diners. To be honest, Mr FPJ and I were […] Read more…
The New Acton precinct around No Name Lane has sprouted several new eateries. One of which is Terra, focusing on seasonal fresh produce and a rotisserie cooking all sorts of proteins. The lunch menu is limited to about 5 dishes with a few sides. However, it’s the canteen style setting that’s the more popular option. […] Read more…
I’m on the hunt for the best baked eggs in Canberra. My Top 8 are listed below. Double Shot The Moroccan baked eggs are a staple winter dish at Double Shot. I’ve had the pleasure of trying a few iterations over the years as this is my go-to place for baked eggs. The Sicilian tomato […] Read more…
On a day off, I love to sit amongst the bustle of Silo Bakery. Either inside watching the endless stream of loyal customers stare at the cabinet full of baked goodies and clutch at their white paper bags filled with their purchases (you can’t stop at one), or outside at one of the three tables […] Read more…
