A Canberra foodie's adventures
On my NYC foodie list was a pastrami sandwich at the famous Carnegie Delicatessen. This restaurant is huge with plenty of seating in the back rooms. When we walked in, it was almost packed so we were lucky to get a table. The first thing you notice are all the celebrity photos in frames (most […] Read more…
Two Before Ten Cafe and Roasters is located in Canberra House in the city (opposite Muddle Bar). It’s a cute little cafe that provides an all day menu and its own roasted coffee beans. They provide courses in brewing and drinking coffee on Saturday mornings, titled ‘The Ultimate Coffee Experience’. The inside is very open, […] Read more…
I caught up with some friends for brunch at the Elk & Pea in Braddon. It was busy when we got there, with people queuing up outside the door. Luckily we’d booked a table. We were shown inside to our table. First thing I noticed was the huge bird cage like sculpture/ornament with a table […] Read more…
I booked in for dinner at Eightysix during its opening weekend. So excited to try out the newest restaurant in Braddon! Eightysix There are no menus. Instead, the dishes of the night are written in chalk on the blackboards across the length of the restaurant. Once a dish is exhausted, it is ‘eightysixed’ and crossed […] Read more…

The kitchen part is in quite a tiny space in the wall. There is limited seating available – a few stools inside with a small table lining the wall, […] Read more…

The Peppered Prawn in Woden offers a $35 early bird dinner. This includes 2 courses – an entrée and main, or main and dessert. (I’ve noticed they’ve changed this to just entrée and main now.) Being a massive dessert fan, I went with the main and dessert combo. I’d already picked out what I wanted […] Read more…
I had never had Filipino food before. When Kusina opened up, a few of my Filipino friends and I decided to head over to Weston Creek and try it out for dinner. I left ordering the food in their capable hands as I wanted to be surprised. A pre-order was required for the group booking. […] Read more…
