A Canberra foodie's adventures
C Dine Bar recently changed its menu. Last week, it introduced its new ‘Fresh Catch Basket’, that’s half price on Tuesdays for $25 (usually $50). Each basket can be shared between two so that’s amazing value. Being a seafood lover, I thought this sounded like a great deal that I just couldn’t pass up. Between […] Read more…
A friend showed me a photo of this amazing looking dessert at C Dine Bar, so I headed there for a quick lunch and dessert one sunny day. I hadn’t had a proper meal at C Dine since September last year, with the exception of its Buck-a-shuck Fridays or $1 oysters (now replaced with 1kg […] Read more…
I’d heard about a new bar/lounge inside Hotel Hotel in New Acton that opened up late last year. On a Friday night, a few friends and I wandered over to check it out. Raw timber slats are the main feature in this hotel – on the stairs, along the walls and ceilings. Looks pretty impressive […] Read more…
After a great experience last year at Sage Dining Room’s ‘Taste and Test’ nights, I was so excited to learn they were doing it all again this Autumn! From 25 March to 30 April 2014, you can book in to Sage‘s 5 course tasting menu dinners for a discounted price of $75. Sage is one […] Read more…
The guys at Aubergine have entered into a new partnership, bringing us Temporada. I first heard about Temporada after reading a very informative HerCanberra article. It means ‘seasonal’ in Spanish and offers modern Australian fresh seasonal produce. It’s opening to the public was on Friday and I couldn’t wait to try it out for dinner. […] Read more…
Lunch was had with friends at Mood Food & Co on Lonsdale Street in Braddon. I quite enjoyed my first time there and was happy to go back. Lunch is different to the dinner menu which was exciting. Lots of yummy sounding things such as the crispy puffed duck, and the pulled pork belly calzone […] Read more…
My friends and I were keen to try Canberra’s #1 restaurant, Aubergine, rated by the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide. The restaurant’s simple website only provides address details and a sample menu. On the night, we were greeted warmly by a waiter and shown to our seats. I was immediately asked if I wanted […] Read more…
Pistachio Dining has been on my list of places to try for about 5 years now. Located in Torrens, it’s not really on the way to anything so I’ve never had a chance to stop by. I finally organised a dinner there one weeknight with friends. Pistachio nuts are provided on the table for diners […] Read more…
After having breakfast at Penny University, I was eager to try out their dinner menu. A group of friends and I were seated at a table inside looking out the open windows onto the street. I was a tad late and missed out on our waitress’s speech on the benefits of organic cola. Curious, I […] 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…
