Located in Grazier Lane in Belconnen, you can find Japanese restaurant Ikko. There are plenty of tables inside and QR codes on each table for easy ordering and payment. I try the curry yaki udon ($22) because 1) I love Japanese curry, and 2), it looks so different to others I’ve tried. The medium-sized low […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in, however all opinions are my own. We headed to Japanese fusion restaurant Chop Chop in Civic for a quick weekday lunch and seriously enjoyed all the dishes.

The team uses Italian coffee brand Illy – interesting fact, all Illy coffee is sealed in a patented can where it’s air-free, so when you open it, it’s as fresh as it was when first packed!
