A Canberra foodie's adventures
Following on from Eating in Spain – Barcelona – Part 1… Forn de Sant Jaume After a blissful morning discovering Casa Batllo (highly recommend booking the 8am private tour before it opens to the general public), we sauntered down to Forn de Sant Jaume (about a 2 minute walk from Casa Batllo) for breakfast. I […] Read more…
Les Bistronomes recently move from Braddon into the Campbell shops. There are secluded seating areas which can be made more private by drawing the curtains closed. The French bistro seems to fit in seamlessly into the space vacated by the Lanterne Rooms, simply requiring a few French paintings and decor. As there were 4 of […] Read more…
Wildflour is located in the middle of Fyshwick (taking over from what was Remy’s Bakery), an artisan bakery and cafe. It looks exactly the same though the display cabinet is a lot more appealing with a big range of cakes and tarts as well as hot pies. But it’s Wildflour’s croissant and doughnut stand that […] Read more…
In August 2019, Mr FPJ and I headed to Europe for an epic 6 week holiday. Barcelona was our first stop in Europe. I couldn’t wait for tapas and all the jamon. Our flight landed at 9.00pm so by the time we caught the metro to our hotel (in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona), […] Read more…

Orana serves a 22-course degustation for $350 per person. I was surprised that I was able to get a […] Read more…
In case you didn’t know, I’m overseas in Europe for the next few weeks. But check out my insta-stories on Instagram to see where I’m eating! Read more…

Kung’s Cafe Lao We made a stop at Kungโs Cafรฉ Lao for lunch which isnโt along the main road, but down a small alley nestled between two buildings. The hanging gourd […] Read more…
I finally made it to Fun Guys at the Truffle Farm in Majura. A venture by the owner of Otis and the owner of the Truffle Farm, Fun Guys opened last year serving food out of a shipping container at the entrance of the Truffle Farm. I never made it out there last year, but […] Read more…
