On a day off, I venture towards Campbell to try out Peonee. Itโs a small intimate restaurant and I am interested in trying the 3-course lunch ($77 pp). There is an alcohol-free section of the drinks menu with house made kombucha, Lyreโs, Heaps Normal, Strange Love, and Non. Iโve noticed that this is happening more […] Read more…
We checked out the new Louis Bar in Barton on a Saturday night with friends (secured a babysitter woot woot). Headed up by chef Ben Willis (of Aubergine fame) I can’t help but have high expectations. Happy to say it does not disappoint. I’m glad to see more and more places having a dedicated non-alcoholic […] Read more…
Iโve been meaning to go to Corella Bar in Braddon for what feels like ages. Opening hours donโt seem to fit my schedule with work and a toddler in tow. So I am very excited when my friend has her birthday dinner there and I have the night off. Corella Bar’s indoor space is small, […] Read more…
After lots of hype on social media and word of mouth, I finally managed to go to lunch at Cartel Tacos in Queanbeyan with a friend. It is a Friday lunch time so it isnโt too busy. I hear it gets packed on the weekends and at dinner time with a queue out the door. […] Read more…
A friend and I caught up for lunch in the city and tried the Inka express lunch for $50 consisting of four courses. Our water preference is noted and brought out, and soy sauce dishes filled. Course 1 and 2 are the chef’s selection of sashimi (three pieces) and a maki roll to share. We […] Read more…

I love tiramisu. So here’s a list of thoughts on Canberra’s tiramisu scene. I know there’s heaps more places to try, I’ll get to them eventually. Disclaimer: The standards of tiramisu may be different depending on the day and depending on who makes them. My opinions may change if I were to go back and […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at The Marion, however all opinions are my own. Iโve dined at Walter Cafรฉ at the new establishment at Regatta Point, but had not been to or seen The Marion (next door) until this invitation arose. Thereโs a reception desk outside the main dining room, where a gentleman in […] Read more…
Besides attending the launch party when Ganjees moved from Bruce to Braddon, I hadn’t had an opportunity to try out the restaurant. I finally make it there for lunch on my day off, and choose to sit outside as it is a sunny day. There are mocktails, lassis and soft drinks listed under ‘Rickshaw Refreshers’. […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at Alcove, however all opinions are my own. Have you heard about Alcove? Itโs a cosy little bar in Braddon and it has introduced a new concept of 5 canapรฉs matched with cocktails. I am invited to experience Alcoveโs new season menu and take a friend along. Thereโs no […] Read more…
