A Canberra foodie's adventures
I’m a sucker for baked eggs. When I know an eatery makes great baked eggs, it’s difficult to order anything else. Hardware Societe is another eatery that I try to visit every time I’m in Melbourne. Mainly because of its ridiculously awesome baked eggs. Considering it’s a French-influenced eatery, it’s no wonder I like it. […] Read more…
Tipo 00 is one of the restaurants I will always visit whenever I’m in Melbourne. Located on Little Bourke Street smack bang in the CBD, and a short stroll away from Melbourne Central / Emporium, it’s really easy to get to. Tipo 00 is a type of flour used in making pasta, and the restaurant […] Read more…
During my annual visit to Perth, I discovered that there was a Guy Grossi restaurant and was keen to make a trip to the Perth CBD to try it out. Garum focuses on Roman-style cooking with handmade pasta and ancient Roman techniques. After we were seated, we were asked whether we wanted tap, still or […] Read more…
*I was invited to dine at A Bite to Eat in Chifley for dinner, however all opinions are my own. A Bite to Eat in Chifley has been a much loved suburban local gem for at least the past decade and more. With our invitation to try the new menu, we had originally asked to […] Read more…

The New Acton precinct around No Name Lane has sprouted several new eateries. One of which is Terra, focusing on seasonal fresh produce and a rotisserie cooking all sorts of proteins. The lunch menu is limited to about 5 dishes with a few sides. However, it’s the canteen style setting that’s the more popular option. […] Read more…
On a weekday, I went into Raku at the Canberra Centre to celebrate a friend’s birthday for lunch. The décor is a sleek and modern version of a Japanese restaurant with dim lighting inside to provide a sense of intimacy. There were 5 of us that ordered the $40 express set lunch while the other […] Read more…
Ever wanted the challenge of eating unlimited amounts of pizza? Bacaro Wine Bar in Braddon offer $20 all you can eat wood fired pizza. This deal is available Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 5pm-7pm only (no reservations). A big thanks to some friends of mine who made me aware of this deal! At 5pm […] Read more…
On a day off, I love to sit amongst the bustle of Silo Bakery. Either inside watching the endless stream of loyal customers stare at the cabinet full of baked goodies and clutch at their white paper bags filled with their purchases (you can’t stop at one), or outside at one of the three tables […] Read more…
During a recent visit to Melbourne, I impulsively booked a table at Vue de Monde (a Shannon Bennett two-hatted restaurant) as they had available tables on a Friday lunch. It worked well for us as we had no other plans that day. It was a 12 noon reservation and we got to the Rialto tower […] Read more…
