A Canberra foodie's adventures
Sometime last year, I bought a Groupon voucher for 6 cannoli from Ciao Cafe & Cakes. I can’t quite remember how much it was but I think it was under the $10 mark (these are usually $4.50 each). Ciao Cafe & Cakes is located in Queanbeyan on Crawford Street. I have noticed and driven past […] Read more…
The guys at Aubergine have entered into a new partnership, bringing us Temporada. I first heard about Temporada after reading a very informative HerCanberra article. It means ‘seasonal’ in Spanish and offers modern Australian fresh seasonal produce. It’s opening to the public was on Friday and I couldn’t wait to try it out for dinner. […] Read more…
Max Brenner opened up at the Kingston Foreshore a few months ago. The only other Max Brenner location is in Belconnen, quite far from me, so I don’t often get a chance to drop in. The other weekend, I decided to have something chocolatey and popped into the new store. It was early morning so […] Read more…
The first time I went to Dolce & Salato, I noticed the large wood-fired oven in the corner but it wasn’t in action just yet. Just before Christmas, they fired up the oven and I got to try it out earlier this month. Some friends and I shared two pizzas between the three of us. […] Read more…
Heading into Canberra Centre, I noticed that Moochi frozen yogurt had opened up opposite Big W. This is the fourth froyo shop to open up in Canberra (that I know of) after Yogurtland, Noggi and Nominom. Prices seem a little cheaper than Yogurtland (I spent nearly $10) where yogurt is charged by weight. At Moochi, […] Read more…
The latest addition to Lonsdale Street in Braddon, Mood Food & Co, opened its doors yesterday. My friend and I arrived for dinner and were greeted warmly by our waiter and shown to a table. Tap water was immediately provided and poured into our glasses. The indoor area is smallish inside with a huge long […] Read more…
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop is opening up soon at Hoyts Woden. I wonder if they do sundaes? Read more…
Dolce & Salato Pasticceria is an Italian patisserie, bakery and cafe that opened up in Civic today. I’ve been patiently waiting for this place to open and have been watching the shop (formerly Gelato Joe’s) transform into a glamorous looking cafe. Located on the corner of Bunda Street and Garema Place (near Koko Blacks), one […] 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…
The last few times I’ve been to Morks, I’ve never had the opportunity to try out the desserts. I was determined to try it out last Friday night. There were 2 desserts available that night – the sweet egg in hay and Grandma’s Garden. My partner and I chose both to share. The sweet egg […] Read more…
