Ganjees
Besides attending the launch party when Ganjees moved from Bruce to Braddon, I hadn’t had an opportunity to try out the restaurant.

SoupStone
Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Yearโs Eve at SoupStone. Located at the Australian National University near the bus station, it can be easy to walk past and miss it.

Miss Van’s
Since its shipping container days, the return of Miss Van’s has been highly anticipated. Now set up in Civic, the restaurant is difficult to get in to without a booking.
