A Canberra foodie's adventures
Iori Plus is the sister restaurant to both Iori and Coo in Civic. It opened up a while ago in Deakin (replacing the all-you-can-eat yumcha) and I’ve been told by a few people that the food there is better than the original Iori. Glancing at their website, I noticed they do a half-price banquet on […] Read more…
The latest cafe to open in Kingston, Penny University, had its official opening today. I’ve been eagerly waiting for it to open for some time now so I was very excited at trying it out. The front bi-fold windows are a great idea to open up the place especially during the warmer months. The cafe […] Read more…
The Soul Bar in Woden is close to my work and I’ve been here a few times for after-work drinks or other work functions. The food was never particularly good. I went back for a farewell lunch organised by some work colleagues who mentioned the food had gotten much better. The Soul Bar has the […] Read more…
The Mill House Cafe in Queanbeyan is located in the historic mill house built in 1883. The actual cafe is located towards the back. Seating is on the back deck or yard with one small table indoors. It looks a little run down, but I would be too if I was 130 years old. The […] Read more…
My partner and I headed to Kusina in Weston Creek for brunch. I love their dinner menu so was keen to try out a Filipino brunch. On the Filipino Favourites menu there is dried marinated beef, sweet cured pork, garlic sausage or a chicken omelette all served with garlic rice and a fried egg ($14.50). […] Read more…
Box Diner in Fyshwick is located on the outskirts of Fyshwick on Tennant Street, among some business centres. The place is easy to find and there is lots of parking available on the side of the road. The cafe is on the ground floor on the corner of a large building. With the sun shining […] Read more…
For lunch, a few work colleagues and I caught up at the Asian Noodle House in Woden. They do good laksa deals here which is what I had previously. It was a warm day so I didn’t particularly feel like a hot laksa. I’m yet to find a place in Canberra that can do a […] Read more…
Caffe Cherry Beans is located in Westfield Woden near JB Hifi. It can easily be missed since it’s not anywhere near the food court or other dining places. I dropped in for an early breakfast before work. The layout of the cafe is open with plenty of tables and chairs. They have a decent menu […] Read more…
The Iron Knob Street Bakery and Delicatessan has been open for 3 months now. It isn’t exactly in the best location – located opposite DFO Fyshwick, near Chemist Warehouse and other stores in a small business centre area. It is a rather large place. Menus have been blown up and placed up on the windows […] Read more…
Sunday brunch with friends was had at 39 Steps in O’Connor. The café has charm with an eclectic mix of decor and a mish-mash of high and low tables, benches and chairs. There is artwork available for purchase on the walls. On a cold rainy day, it was lovely sitting inside this cosy homely cafe. […] Read more…
