There’s a new pop up restaurant in town. Located at Kingston’s Green Square (corner of Eyre and Jardine Streets), Kiosk is headed up by ex-Bar Rochford’s chef Louis Couttoupes. The menu is written up with chalk on two blackboards – one outside and one inside. I’m solo for the evening, and get my pick of […] Read more…
My friends and I caught up for lunch at Lamshedโs in Yarralumla late last year. Itโs a restaurant that Iโve heard good things about with a focus on fresh ingredients. The entrance is through a long corridor next to Farmerโs Daughter. Thereโs lots of natural light coming through in the spacious dining area during the […] Read more…
With all the new cafรฉ openings to keep up with, itโs nice to go back to an established cafรฉ. Two for Joy has been in Kingstonโs Green Square for years, and is still going strong.

Have you heard of the Sunday Supper Club? It is held once a month at the Winning Appliances showroom in Kingston. Hosted by HerCanberraโs Amanda Whitley, a different eatery cooks up a multi-course supper for roughly 24 guests. I got to go on the night that Eightysix was cooking with fellow foodie friends. I step […] Read more…
I booked four of us into Beef & Barleyโs Burger High Tea a few weeks ago.

The burger high tea comes with one beer/wine/soft drink/milkshake per person. Two x three-tiered […] Read more…
After my first visit to Cinnabar on the Kingston Foreshore back in 2016, it took me 2.5 years to go back (purely because there are always too many new eateries to visit). But I dined in twice within a fortnight and plan to go back more often. There are three types of sang choi bao […] 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…
Some friends and I headed to Knuckles restaurant in the Harmonie German Club for some German food for dinner.ย There was a bit of a wait at the door to sign people in / sign up for membership, but we had luckily booked a table so there were no problems there. Orders are paid for […] Read more…
La Cantina at the Narrabundah shops offer a 2-course lunch set menu for $19 Tuesday-Fridays. During my holiday break, I headed in to try it out. The polished wooden floorboards, white linen table cloths, a brick facade and European paintings add a lovely touch of elegance. There was a choice of 3 starters and 9 […] Read more…
Hidden away inside Manuka Village is a small oasis surrounded by plants that is the Secret Garden cafe. I stumbled across it while getting our wedding rings ordered at Village Jewellers (who I highly recommend btw). Secret Garden has an all day menu plus a specials menu – I noticed mainly Western brunches (bacon and […] Read more…
