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…
Les Bistronomes recently move from Braddon into the Campbell shops. There are secluded seating areas which can be made more private by drawing the curtains closed. The French bistro seems to fit in seamlessly into the space vacated by the Lanterne Rooms, simply requiring a few French paintings and decor. As there were 4 of […] 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…
As I walk in the front door, I immediately notice the freshly made pasta available for purchase displayed behind glass at the front counter. Not knowing what to expect, my mood picks up and my expectations are raised. I’m greeted by the waiter (who I recognise from somewhere – probably another Italian dining establishment in […] Read more…
I finally made it to Fun Guys at the Truffle Farm in Majura. A venture by the owner of Otis and the owner of the Truffle Farm, Fun Guys opened last year serving food out of a shipping container at the entrance of the Truffle Farm. I never made it out there last year, but […] Read more…
Have you heard of the Sunday Supper Club? It is held once a month at the Winning Appliances showroom in Kingston. Hosted by HerCanberra’s Amanda Whitley, a different eatery cooks up a multi-course supper for roughly 24 guests. I got to go on the night that Eightysix was cooking with fellow foodie friends. I step […] Read more…
Super Bao started off as a food stall around the Canberra markets scene, and have now opened its own shop in Dickson. My foodie friends and I went to check it out one night. We spotted a mocktail carafe on the drinks menu, and ordered the strawberry fauxito carafe. Tasty but with all the ice, […] Read more…
Located upstairs at the Hellenic Club in Woden, Ginseng offers yum cha every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The place is buzzing and busy by 11.30am (when yum cha commences) and I double check my watch to see how late I am. How are there so many people already eating? We are seated in the partitioned […] Read more…
I was booked into Gelato Messina’s Gelato Appreciation Class in May (as a Christmas gift) which started at 9.30am until 12.00 noon. I was looking forward to two and half hours of gelato-making and taste-testing. Some small tables had been set up inside and as I was there on my own, I was paired up […] Read more…
I booked four of us into Beef & Barley’s Burger High Tea a few weeks ago. There was a half-price deal available on Cudo (it might still be available) so I figured it was the perfect time to try it out. The burger high tea comes with one beer/wine/soft drink/milkshake per person. Two x three-tiered […] Read more…
