A Canberra foodie's adventures
On a cold grey morning, some friends and I decided to brunch at the recently opened Tranquilo Espresso, which replaces Four Buds cafe. Located on the ground floor of the Mode 3 building on Lonsdale Street, the small cafe faces Autolyse and Lonsdale Street Roasters 23. The cafe is in a small nook with just […] Read more…
The latest venture by Autolyse in Braddon is new juice bar Autolyse Pressed Juice. Located just a couple of doors down from its bakery cafe, a wide window opens up with staff behind it to greet customers. A fridge sits outside filled with the various juices available. The juice menu is written up above the […] Read more…
After my having lunch at Local Press Cafe, I headed back the next day with friends for brunch. The one page menu makes it easier to decide on what to order. Cups and a water jug are provided after sitting down. The menu does not include drinks so I didn’t know how much my soy […] Read more…
A few weeks ago, a friend and I were looking for a light dinner before heading out dancing one night, and wandered over to Lonsdale Street in Braddon. We decided on The Elk & Pea and got a table outdoors on a rare night that it wasn’t raining. We were greeted warmly by our waiter […] Read more…
A few friends and I stopped in at Common Grounds Cafe in Gowrie for brunch one Saturday morning. I’d never heard of this cafe until reading a Canberra Weekly article about the place. Located at the Gowrie shops in Tuggeranong, the cafe is easy to find. Just follow the signs to the shops. At 10am, […] Read more…
Top Taste Chinese Restaurant in Woden replaced Noble Palace some time last year. I don’t even know what happened to Noble Palace or why it shut down. Lots of new red signage was displayed outside for the new Top Taste. A work colleague and I headed there to try out some yumcha for lunch. After […] Read more…
I used to grab take-away lunch in Woden from a cafe called Pure Oxygen. They made some fantastic toasted sandwiches. To my dismay, they closed down the Woden shop to move to Deakin under new management and a new name – Doubleshot. That was late last year. I finally made it there over the Anzac […] Read more…
I was in the Braddon area on a Sunday and decided to stop by Autolyse to get a late take away lunch. At 2.30 in the afternoon, the place was packed with every single outdoor table taken and a few people sitting inside. There was also a long queue to order. The last time I […] Read more…
Some friends and I wanted to try out Chatterbox in Belconnen and made it there one Saturday morning. There are bright yellow banners displayed outside so you can’t miss it. When I got there, all outdoor tables were taken. Must be a popular spot with the locals. I love the wall of potted plants inside […] Read more…
I’ve been keeping an eye out on Local Press Cafe at the Kingston Foreshore ever since I spotted its sign back in January. The sign immediately conveyed a natural and raw vibe. It finally opened its doors last weekend but I didn’t get a chance to try it out until today. Excited that something was […] Read more…
