One of my work Christmas partyโs was held at Delissio restaurant and bar in Curtin.ย Iโd been here on a few occasions previously (my partner adores their spicy fetta stuffed fried olives) and thought it was a relatively nice restaurant. A previous yearโs Christmas party was also held there and a banquet was chosen as […] Read more…
Croissant D’or in Woden have an all-day breakfast menu and I’ve been wanting to try their smoked salmon bagel with scrambled eggs ($12.90). I headed there with a work colleague one weekday and ordered just that! Sadly, I was disappointed with it. The scrambled eggs were nothing special, just plain and not very flavoursome. I […] Read more…
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop is opening up soon at Hoyts Woden. I wonder if they do sundaes? Read more…
The Soul Bar in Woden is close to my work and I’ve been here a few times for after-work drinks or other work functions. The food was never particularly good. I went back for a farewell lunch organised by some work colleagues who mentioned the food had gotten much better. The Soul Bar has the […] Read more…
I’ve heard lots of good things about this little shop in Garran called Mamak Corner. It looks like your typical Chinese/Malaysian suburban take away shop and restaurant with formica-like tables and chairs, plain cheapie white napkins and a bit of clutter behind the counter. I used to work in a Chinese restaurant just like it. […] Read more…
For lunch, a few work colleagues and I caught up at the Asian Noodle House in Woden. They do good laksa deals here which is what I had previously. It was a warm day so I didn’t particularly feel like a hot laksa. I’m yet to find a place in Canberra that can do a […] Read more…
Caffe Cherry Beans is located in Westfield Woden near JB Hifi. It can easily be missed since it’s not anywhere near the food court or other dining places. I dropped in for an early breakfast before work. The layout of the cafe is open with plenty of tables and chairs. They have a decent menu […] Read more…
For a work colleague’s birthday morning tea, I suggested we try a cake from Croissant D’or in Woden which has recently opened up. The Opera Cake ($25) immediately caught my eye due to its triangular shape. I could also see the layers and layers of goodness. *drool The cake was so moist and absolutely DELICIOUS! […] Read more…
I felt like sushi and have gone to Hero Sushi at Westfield Woden on a few occasions. It is located in an odd spot – next door to Price Attack near Coles. The shop has a nice open seating area and you can see the sushi chef slicing up fresh raw salmon on the kitchen […] Read more…
Croissant D’or finally opened today at Westfield Woden. I’ve been walking past anticipating its opening for the last few weeks as it was meant to open in September. I love the feature wall they have of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. Itโs quite a small space and only fits a few tables and chairs. There […] Read more…
