If you hadn’t heard, Cajun-style seafood in a bag is available at the Kickin Inn in Woden. We went to visit (some months ago) for a weekday lunch. Kickin Inn is spacious with several small booths and tables, as well as being able to fit the larger groups. We are seated at a small table […] Read more…
Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Year’s Eve at SoupStone. Located at the Australian National University near the bus station, it can be easy to walk past and miss it. When we arrive, the table is set up and ready with two high chairs, plastic cutlery, plates and cups […] Read more…
There was much excitement when Eightysix announced a south-side restaurant. From what I’ve read, Eightysix South has more of an Italian cuisine focus, which suits me just fine. I had lunch on opening day with my friend (Tales of a Confectionist) a few months ago. The fit out looks pretty much the same as the […] Read more…
Since its shipping container days, the return of Miss Van’s has been highly anticipated. Now set up in Civic, the restaurant is difficult to get in to without a booking. I thought it was a good opportunity to book lunch here for my birthday earlier in the year. I like that the online booking form […] Read more…
Another high tea / afternoon tea option in Canberra is at the little tea salon, Blissiimo, in Braddon. Set inside the Ori building (previously vacated by the beloved Frugii), Blissiimo offers tea brands such as France’s Mariage Frères (established in 1854 and the store’s specialty) and Monista from Melbourne. The counter at the front has […] Read more…
Myanmar Corner at the Casey shops is a little gem of a restaurant. I’ve dined here only about 3 times as it’s located quite far from me – I wish it was closer! Let’s start with an entree. I love anything duck. So when I see shredded duck and onion puffs ($9 for three pieces) […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to try Super Bao in Woden, however all opinions are my own. My last blog post on Super Bao was nearly 3 years ago when they opened their Dickson restaurant. Since then, Super Bao have expanded into Verity Lane in the city, and now with a shipping container in Woden. The […] Read more…
I thought I’d put together a list of small home bakeries around Canberra that I’ve ordered from or come across the last few months. There are certainly a lot that have popped up! In no particular order: Doughnut Girls I initially posted a bit about Doughnut Girls in my Lockdown Discoveries blog post. I’ve tried […] Read more…
As we navigate the new normal living with COVID, I’ve been trying to find eateries that aren’t packed with people inside. I’m happy to find that Sonamu Korean has plenty of dining spaces inside and out. Standing outside, it doesn’t look like a big space. However there are tables out the front, a front indoor […] Read more…
The newest eatery to open at the Kingston shops, is Onzieme, headed by Louis Couttoupes who had a pop-up a few doors down. I dined there with a friend for dinner and the earliest that they could fit us in was a Wednesday evening. Weekends were solidly booked out for the next few weeks. It’s […] Read more…
