I narrowed down my favourite eats of 2024 to a Top 6! Rosemary by Eightytwenty An outstanding dinner degustation in 2024 was at Rosemary by Eightytwenty starting off strong with focaccia, whipped ricottaย andย parsley oil (it doesnโt sound special but it is such aย wow dish). Iโm not sure if they will re-introduce this degustation but I’m […] Read more…
I used to love getting my coffees at Gusโ Place in the city so Iโm really happy that sister cafรฉ Good Neighbour opened in Kingston. With Gusโ staple items on the menu and a few new additions, Good Neighbour is proving to be a very popular destination. Weโre talking 45min wait for coffees and food. […] Read more…
My friends and I try the $70 banquet from Lebanese restaurant Azima in Civic. There are plenty of tables inside and itโs quite spacious with a bar in the middle of the restaurant. Weโre told all the food is served simultaneously, so thereโs no staggering of dishes/courses. I start off with the Shia Zahra ($12) […] Read more…

We are invited to dine in and check it out. Thereโs champagne and cocktails floating around. I ask for something non-alcoholic and am happy when they have some […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in at Rosemary, however all opinions are my own. Rosemary by EightyTwenty opened up in Kingston and serves the EightyTwenty cafรฉ food by day. But did you know that at night, thereโs a separate completely different dinner menu? Iโm invited to try it out and choose a Friday night […] Read more…

Our server asks which type of high tea weโre after โ traditional, with sparkling, or the upgraded free-flowing sparkling option. We all […] Read more…
My friends and I booked into Beltana Farm, the newest restaurant open in Pialligo. No it doesnโtreplace the former Pialligo Estate, itโs at a completely different address. I donโt even remember whatwas here before this place. Iโm a bit worried about parking as I drive in as I know there areroadworks along Beltana Farm. Luckily, […] Read more…
Located in Grazier Lane in Belconnen, you can find Japanese restaurant Ikko. There are plenty of tables inside and QR codes on each table for easy ordering and payment. I try the curry yaki udon ($22) because 1) I love Japanese curry, and 2), it looks so different to others Iโve tried. The medium-sized low […] Read more…
Hailing from New Zealand, with restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne, Botswana Butchery has opened in Canberra (which I later find out was with a little nudge from our ACT Chief Minister). My friend and I try it out for lunch as part of birthday week. Pull on the chopping knife handles of the restaurant door […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in, however all opinions are my own. We headed to Japanese fusion restaurant Chop Chop in Civic for a quick weekday lunch and seriously enjoyed all the dishes. We start with the prawn rice toast. But this isnโt your traditional prawn toast โ think creamy prawn salad with cucumber, […] Read more…
