A Canberra foodie's adventures
Walking through Braddon to grab some take away dinner, I noticed an ‘Opening Soon’ sign for Eighty/Twenty Food. Doing a little bit of research into the place, the focus is 80% on healthy good food and 20% on indulgence. Officially opening earlier this week, sister duo and owners of Eighty/Twenty, Klarisa and Tihana have brought […] Read more…
After my first visit to Black Fire for lunch last weekend, a group of friends and I went back to try out the breakfast menu. It’s been updated slightly since last weekend so here’s another shot of the breakfast menu below. Our lovely waitress also mentioned the breakfast special of the day, an intriguing snapper […] Read more…
Tucked away on Dundas Court in Phillip is Eat Me Drink Me – a small cafe serving Nerissimo coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, pies and surprisingly dumplings! The inside of the cafe is as playful as it’s name. Bright blue floor tiles, fuchsia painted walls on one side and lime green walls on the other. There are […] Read more…
Some friends and I went for an early morning bike ride around the lake and decided to stop in for brunch in Yarralumla. I’d been to Beess & Co at the Yarralumla shops a few years ago and found it a charming spot, so I suggested trying it out again. There are a few cakes […] Read more…
I’d seen photos of a matcha parfait on reviews about Chanoma Cafe in Sydney and put this on my list of places to try on my next visit to Sydney. Located at Regents Place on George Street, there are quite a few other restaurants and cafes in the complex. I had a look at the […] Read more…
A few weeks ago, Canberra burger institution Brodburger opened up its second venture, BrodDogs, in its distinctive red van in Belconnen. Selling gourmet hotdogs, BrodDogs made an appearance back in February at the Canberra National Multicultural Festival and it must’ve taken off from there! BrodDogs is located on the top floor carpark of Westfield Belconnen […] Read more…
A few weeks ago, I went to a birthday dinner at Chong Co Thai along the Kingston Foreshore. My first visit there didn’t impress me but I have heard good things about the massamun curries and other dishes from friends. We were seated outside under the warmth of the outdoor heaters where we were protected […] Read more…
Get ready for some major sweet dessert porn. The Italian Continental Bakery & Cafe in Mawson has been on my list of eateries to visit for years. I hear good things from work colleagues who make the short drive from the Woden town centre for a quick lunch, and other friends who’ve had some of […] Read more…
On one of those spur of the moment Saturday brunches, a friend and I decided to head north-side and try brunch at Little Oink in Cook. There are a few tables outside covered in brightly coloured tablecloths. As I stepped inside, the beautiful colours and images painted on the feature wall are the first things […] Read more…
Another new Thai restaurant, Coconine, has opened up at the Kingston Foreshore in addition to Morks and Chong Co Thai. By far the smallest restaurant of the lot, Coconine offers some nice culinary surprises. I understand that the Head Chef’s name is Nine (not sure about the Coco part). The fit out is comfortable and […] Read more…
