Iโve been meaning to go to Corella Bar in Braddon for what feels like ages. Opening hours donโt seem to fit my schedule with work and a toddler in tow. So I am very excited when my friend has her birthday dinner there and I have the night off. Corella Bar’s indoor space is small, […] Read more…

Degustation @ Pilot
What better occasion than a birthday to dine in at Pilot? The 7-course degustation menu is $140 per person, and we all opt for the non-alcoholic drink pairing, an additional $55 each. Seating just 30 people, the restaurant is laid back and casual with an open kitchen and bar. We start off with a cold-brewed […] Read more…
Kodiak

High tea @ The Marion
Note: I was invited to dine at The Marion, however all opinions are my own.

Eightysix South
There was much excitement when Eightysix announced a south-side restaurant. From what Iโve read, Eightysix South has more of an Italian cuisine focus, which suits me just fine. I had lunch on opening day with my friend (Tales of a Confectionist) a few months ago. The fit out looks pretty much the same as the […] Read more…

The newest eatery to open at the Kingston shops, is Onzieme, headed by Louis Couttoupes who had a pop-up a few doors down. I dined there with a friend for dinner and the earliest that they could fit us in was a Wednesday evening. Weekends were solidly booked out for the next few weeks. It’s […] Read more…
Dine at home with Otis
Lockdown in Canberra has seen many local eateries pivot towards offering dine at home packages where all you have to do is finish off the cooking process and assemble your food at home. Otis is one eatery offering a different set menu each week. I was booked in for a truffle dinner at Otis but […] Read more…
Lunch @ Berkelouw Book Barn (Berrima)
On a weekend getaway to Bowral, we stopped by the Bendooley Estate winery in Berrima NSW to have lunch inside the Berkelouw Book Barn. It’s been on my want-to-visit list for some time, so I made sure to reserve a table in advance. Berkelouw Book Barn is busy and almost full when we get there […] Read more…
