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…
I’ve heard lots of good things about this little shop in Garran called Mamak Corner. It looks like your typical Chinese/Malaysian suburban take away shop and restaurant with formica-like tables and chairs, plain cheapie white napkins and a bit of clutter behind the counter. I used to work in a Chinese restaurant just like it. […] Read more…

Local businesses are utilised to source fresh produce, cows and lambs are 100% grass-fed and hormone-free, and even the chickens and eggs are free range. Burgers are advertised […] Read more…

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…

I felt like sushi and have gone to Hero Sushi at Westfield Woden on a few occasions. It is located in an odd spot – next door to Price Attack near Coles. The shop has a nice open seating area and you can see the sushi chef slicing up fresh raw salmon on the kitchen […] Read more…
A friend and I headed to Jimmy’s Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant in the city on Friday night. It replaces Oishi inside the Garema Centre. I had the stir fried beef vermicelli with mixed salad and fish sauce ($14). The beef was delicious and cooked in a yummy slighty spicy sauce. Kind of like Thai beef salad […] Read more…
