I was recently contacted to try out the newly opened Grill’d at the Canberra Centre. Grill’d was born in Melbourne to provide healthy, fresh and tasty burgers. Local businesses are utilised to source fresh produce, cows and lambs are 100% grass-fed and hormone-free, and even the chickens and eggs are free range. Burgers are advertised […] Read more…
Sunday brunch with friends was had at 39 Steps in O’Connor. The café has charm with an eclectic mix of decor and a mish-mash of high and low tables, benches and chairs. There is artwork available for purchase on the walls. On a cold rainy day, it was lovely sitting inside this cosy homely cafe. […] Read more…
Along with most of Canberra, I headed to Jamie’s Italian when it opened to the general public on Wednesday night. We didn’t have a booking. The website claims that online bookings are being accepted but it’s either a really bad booking system or most tables had been allocated, as I couldn’t book for any night […] Read more…
The latest restaurant to open on the Kingston Foreshore is Chong Co Thai Restaurant and Bar providing some competition to contemporary Thai restaurant Morks just a few doors down. Chong Co Thai currently have two other restaurants in Belconnen and Gungahlin. We were warmly greeted by our waitress and picked a table by the window. […] Read more…
On Sunday night, I caught up with some friends for dinner and we decided to head south-side to Tuggeranong for some Turkish food at Little Istanbul. I love Turkish food! The last time we tried coming here was on a Friday night and it was completely packed out. It was pretty quiet on the Sunday. […] Read more…

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 finally got to try out one of Mork’s signature dishes on Saturday night. The Angel Prawns. I’d seen these back in their Florey location but they weren’t part of the tasting menu I was trying out, so I was eager to go back for them. At $24 for this entree of 6 prawns, it […] 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…
I headed to Santa Lucia Trattoria in Swinger Hill for a weekday lunch with a work colleague. Entry is through the side where there is a rather large outdoor dining area. Tables are covered in red and white checked tablecloths. The only thing missing was some Italian music playing in the background. The menu is […] Read more…
