New frozen yogurt store Yoli opened up at Westfield Woden a few months ago, opposite Price Attack and Hero Sushi. That’s the 5th froyo brand to open up in Canberra (that I know about anyway). Of course, I had to give it a go. I love my fruit flavours so I chose lychee, watermelon and […] 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 Iโve 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…
One of my work colleagues walked into work with a coffee cup that I didn’t recognise. I asked where he got his coffee from and he told me it’s the best place in Woden for coffee – Urban Bean Espresso Bar, located in the Department of Health building. He loves it because Urban Bean uses […] Read more…
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…
