A Canberra foodie's adventures
A friend and I drove out to Lark Hill Winery (not that we drink) to try out the restaurant. We heard about this place after reading an article in the Good Food Guide and after seeing a photo of the poached rhubarb dessert, I knew I had to try it! Located in Bungendore, it’s about […] Read more…
Tanigar Meats at the Kingston Bus Depot Markets have a fridge full of meaty goods – like loin chops, lamb rack, kidney, shanks and an assortment of lamb pies. There are several types of lamb pies that I’ve come across – original lamb, peas and potato, butter lamb, smokey chilli, Moroccan, Afghani, and pumpkin and […] Read more…
I’ve been keeping a close eye on The Cupping Room – a project by Ona Coffee. Their aim is to ‘…involve, engage and educate coffee drinkers in the finer appreciation of coffee’. Located on London Circuit across the road from UniPub and the police station, the place looks impressive with the wooden paneling outside. I […] Read more…
Tuesdays is half-price mussel night at the Belgian Beer Cafe in Kingston. A whole kilo of mussels with Belgian frites and mayo (usually $30-32) for less than $16. The cafe is fitted out with dark chocolate wooden panels against the walls, and wooden tables and benches. It has a really laidback vibe with people enjoying […] Read more…
The highly anticipated Malaysian chain restaurant, PappaRich, opened up in Canberra on the weekend. Going through their menu online, I love the fact that all food and drink items have a picture against it. Two of my friends and I decided to dine there on Monday evening. We knew it was very busy on the […] Read more…
I’ve dined at Ellacure a few times for dinner and have always been impressed with the food and service. This was my first time trying out their brunch menu so I was curious to see what it was like. We were greeted by our smiling waiter and taken to our table. Looking at the juices […] Read more…
Warning: a long post and photo heavy! I was invited to dine and review Peppercress restaurant for the Terra Felix wine dinner held on Thursday. I must admit, I had never heard of Peppercress before (it opened up about 9 years ago), probably because it’s located inside the Canberra Southern Cross Club in Tuggeranong. Head […] Read more…
Iori Plus is the sister restaurant to both Iori and Coo in Civic. It opened up a while ago in Deakin (replacing the all-you-can-eat yumcha) and I’ve been told by a few people that the food there is better than the original Iori. Glancing at their website, I noticed they do a half-price banquet on […] Read more…
Dolce & Salato Pasticceria is an Italian patisserie, bakery and cafe that opened up in Civic today. I’ve been patiently waiting for this place to open and have been watching the shop (formerly Gelato Joe’s) transform into a glamorous looking cafe. Located on the corner of Bunda Street and Garema Place (near Koko Blacks), one […] Read more…
The latest cafe to open in Kingston, Penny University, had its official opening today. I’ve been eagerly waiting for it to open for some time now so I was very excited at trying it out. The front bi-fold windows are a great idea to open up the place especially during the warmer months. The cafe […] Read more…
