Gill’s Patisserie is tucked away in Fyshwick, distributing its goodies made on site to other cafes around Canberra. But you can also sit down in their cafe if you want a bite to eat. On my first visit during lockdown, I wanted to try the kimchi twisters that I’ve seen advertised on Gill’s social media. […] Read more…
Wildflour is located in the middle of Fyshwick (taking over from what was Remy’s Bakery), an artisan bakery and cafe. It looks exactly the same though the display cabinet is a lot more appealing with a big range of cakes and tarts as well as hot pies. But it’s Wildflour’s croissant and doughnut stand that […] Read more…
Located upstairs at the Fyshwick Fresh Food Markets, Winifred’s Place is a much more feminine (fluffy pink cushions, candles and rose gold decor) version of its sister restaurant Chez Frederic (CF). Winifred’s breaks away from the mostly pasta dishes of CF, bringing some quirkier dishes to diners. To be honest, Mr FPJ and I were […] Read more…
I hadn’t been back to Zierholz in Fyshwich in years (since about 2014) but recently had lunch there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Zierholz is a German brewery selling pork knuckle, schnitzel, goulash, German sausages and other typical dishes we’ve come to appreciate. The last time I was there, I had one of the tasting […] Read more…
Update: May 2023 – It was about time I updated this list. Here are 5+ places for pancakes or hotcakes (putting them in the same category) around Canberra.

One of my readers told me to check out Two Hands Cafe in Fyshwick (thank you!). I’d never heard of this place and after finding its Facebook page, saw that it was only open Monday to Friday. On a day off, I headed to Two Hands to check it out myself. Plonked in the middle […] Read more…
Dream Cuisine in Fyshwick expanded (earlier this year?) taking over the shop that was next door. This means there is a lot more space to sit down and enjoy the wonderful macarons, tarts and coffee that Dream Cuisine produces. Brunch was on hiatus for a few months (their chef had a skiing accident!). However, Saturday […] Read more…
I went to a birthday dinner at Zierholz Premium Brewery in Fyshwick. Since I don’t drink, the brewery was never high on my list of places to visit until I had a closer look at the menu. Zierholz offers German foods such as pork knuckle, pork belly, sausages and schnitty with sides of sauerkraut and […] Read more…
During the Christmas shutdown period, I decided it was time to shop around for a new mattress. Halfway through browsing the many mattress shops in Fyshwick, I drove past Elaine’s Gourmet Pies (located at the bend of Wollongong Street) which was the only food shop open during that period. The sign claims these are award […] Read more…
Box Diner in Fyshwick is located on the outskirts of Fyshwick on Tennant Street, among some business centres. The place is easy to find and there is lots of parking available on the side of the road. The cafe is on the ground floor on the corner of a large building. With the sun shining […] Read more…
