On our way to Sydney for the long weekend, my partner and I stopped at Grandma’s Little Bakery in Collector for brunch. It is about 40 minutes away from Canberra and located at the Fedra Olive Grove just off the Federal Highway. There is outdoor seating available, but as it was a windy Saturday, everyone […] Read more…
As mentioned in a previous post, there is a new restaurant in Kingston. Il Portico had its soft launch tonight. We were greeted very warmly by the friendly restaurant staff. The inside of the modern looking restaurant is decorated with the colours of Italy – red, green and white. There are softly padded white bench […] Read more…
I decided to head into Dickson to try out Good Brother for brunch. Besides with the locals, it isn’t a very well known cafe. It is kind of hidden around the corner towards the back near Barcode at the Dickson shops. I love the cute chalkboards that are hung up around the place. There are […] Read more…
The Beach Burrito Company has opened! I arrived to a massive queue that hardly moved during the 12.30 Friday lunch rush. The place was packed both indoors and outdoors. The whole place is decked out in bright splashes of colour with some funky decor, like their skull style chandelier. I like how they’ve incorporated a […] Read more…
I headed to Santa Lucia Trattoria in Swinger Hill for a weekday lunch with a work colleague. Entry is through the side where there is a rather large outdoor dining area. Tables are covered in red and white checked tablecloths. The only thing missing was some Italian music playing in the background. The menu is […] Read more…
My partner and I headed to Public in Manuka for dinner on Saturday night. With no reservation, we easily got a table outside under the heaters. Let’s go straight to my favourite part of any meal – DESSERT! A friend recommended I try out the peanut butter baklava ($12) for dessert, mentioning that it was […] Read more…
I hadn’t been back to Snag Stand in while, and on a cold windy Friday, I felt like something naughty. Snag Stand sells ‘haute dogs’ – artisanal and hand crafted sausages. The menu has changed slightly since my last meal here, and now they’ve added a new line – Haute Burgers. This time, I chose […] Read more…
Walking into work early this morning, I was greeted by a friendly man standing on the street who informed me that a new cafe/coffee shop just a few doors down had opened up, offering free coffees to everyone today. Who can pass up free coffee?! The cafe is called Quizine, located on Botany Street in […] Read more…
Waking up early on a Saturday morning, my partner and I decided to head into Griffith for brunch at Gryphons caffe and bar. I do like the Griffith shops. It has restaurants Aubergine and Rubicon located there, as well as an organic fruit and vegetable shop, Greek wholefoods store, a butcher and a massage centre. […] Read more…
I’ve been wanting to check out the other restaurants out at Gungahlin for while now and finally managed to try out Da Nunzio Caffe Bar Ristorante. The menu on their website looks good with a range of pasta dishes, seafood and steaks. I managed to book the last table for 2 on Friday night. They […] Read more…
