A Canberra foodie's adventures
Cholo’s Peruvian Restaurant opened up in Dickson in July. It’s been on my list ever since and I finally got an opportunity to try it out last week. The restaurant is very colourful inside with bright red walls, Peruvian textiles, and pictures of Peru. The salsa and cha cha music playing inside immediately puts me […] Read more…
New French creperie, Breizh Cafe, opened its doors at the Ainslie shops yesterday. With specialties from the French region of Brittany, Breizh Cafe offers crepes, galettes (crepes made with buckwheat flour), croissants, pain au chocolat and other pastries along with a range of French cider and whisky. Located in the corner of the Ainslie Shops, […] 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…
My friend and I had been wanting to try yumcha at Spicy Ginger in Acton for a while, so we finally managed to go there on a Sunday. I’ve only ever been there once a few years ago, and living up to its name, most of the dishes we ordered were very spicy. Yumcha is […] Read more…
Sage is one of my favourite relaxed fine-dining restaurants in Canberra. For taking part in their ‘Taste and Test’, my friends and I were rewarded with another 5-course dinner for $60 to try out their new Spring 2013 tasting menu. This menu is a result of all the feedback they gathered from the Taste and […] Read more…
Pulp Kitchen are offering a 5-course French degustation for $90 each Tuesday night this month as part of Good Food Month. Each course is based on a different region in France. First out was the amuse bouche of escargots, parsley and garlic cream in a puff pastry. This was warm and yummy – the snails […] Read more…
As part of Canberra’s first Good Food Month, Eightysix are putting on a special lunch each Sunday of October for $55 per person. The Good Food Month website states, ‘Prepare to share some bright spring options including some bubbles to set the mood.’ There wasn’t any other information available such as how many courses or […] Read more…
I caught up with a friend for dinner at Delhi 6 in Acton one weeknight. I’ve walked past this place on numerous occasions so I was keen on trying it out. I ordered the deluxe non vegetarian thali ($23.90) because it provides a little bit of everything. What the menu doesn’t indicate is that you […] Read more…
I decided to head into Dickson to try out Good Brother for brunch. Besides with the locals, it isn’t a very well known cafe. It is kind of hidden around the corner towards the back near Barcode at the Dickson shops. I love the cute chalkboards that are hung up around the place. There are […] Read more…
After dining at A. Baker for dinner earlier this week, I was keen to try out brunch on the weekend with some friends. All the outdoor tables in the warm sunshine were taken, so we settled at a table in a little corner. This proved to be a blind spot as no one noticed us for the 20 […] Read more…
