On a day off, I venture towards Campbell to try out Peonee. Itโs a small intimate restaurant and I am interested in trying the 3-course lunch ($77 pp). There is an alcohol-free section of the drinks menu with house made kombucha, Lyreโs, Heaps Normal, Strange Love, and Non. Iโve noticed that this is happening more […] Read more…
I sneaked away from work on two occasions to head to lunch at Such and Such by the Canberra Theatre – it was quick solo dining. Iโm really happy to see a โNot Alcoholโ menu. On the two occasions, I try the Such and Such Shandy with peach, earl grey, lime and Heaps Normal XPA, […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at Gami, however all opinions are my own. Gami Chicken and Beer is tucked away at the Canberra Centre along Bunda Street. I haven’t actually been back since my last review in 2019, so when the team asked me to come by again to try some of the new […] Read more…
We checked out the new Louis Bar in Barton on a Saturday night with friends (secured a babysitter woot woot). Headed up by chef Ben Willis (of Aubergine fame) I can’t help but have high expectations. Happy to say it does not disappoint. I’m glad to see more and more places having a dedicated non-alcoholic […] Read more…

Indian Dining Club is located in Belconnen, right on the waterโs edge with outdoor tables on the deck so I can imagine nice summery evenings with delicious food. Thereโs an elegance to the dรฉcor with plush carpet, comfy […] Read more…
After lots of hype on social media and word of mouth, I finally managed to go to lunch at Cartel Tacos in Queanbeyan with a friend. It is a Friday lunch time so it isnโt too busy. I hear it gets packed on the weekends and at dinner time with a queue out the door. […] Read more…

Savouries: Three types of sandwiches and two types of savoury quiche tarts. The sandwiches did start to dry out towards the end there but are large […] Read more…
A friend and I caught up for lunch in the city and tried the Inka express lunch for $50 consisting of four courses. Our water preference is noted and brought out, and soy sauce dishes filled. Course 1 and 2 are the chef’s selection of sashimi (three pieces) and a maki roll to share. We […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in as a guest at Naadam, however all opinions are my own. I was invited to the grand opening of Canberra’s first Mongolian restaurant, Naadam in Phillip. After a light Mongolian BBQ (horhog) of lamb brisket roasted in tallow, served with potato and carrot, there’s some traditional music (using […] Read more…
