A Canberra foodie's adventures
Sunday brunch with friends was had at 39 Steps in O’Connor. The cafรฉ has charm with an eclectic mix of decor and a mish-mash of high and low tables, benches and chairs. There is artwork available for purchase on the walls. On a cold rainy day, it was lovely sitting inside this cosy homely cafe. […] Read more…
The last few times I’ve been to Morks, I’ve never had the opportunity to try out the desserts. I was determined to try it out last Friday night. There were 2 desserts available that night – the sweet egg in hay and Grandma’s Garden. My partner and I chose both to share. The sweet egg […] Read more…
Along with most of Canberra, I headed to Jamie’s Italian when it opened to the general public on Wednesday night. We didn’t have a booking. The website claims that online bookings are being accepted but it’s either a really bad booking system or most tables had been allocated, as I couldn’t book for any night […] Read more…
Lookout Red Hill Cafe & Bar has been on my list of places to try out for years now, along with Onred Restaurant. As the name suggests, it is located at the top of Red Hill and has amazing views of Canberra. It was a sunny warm day and I thought it was the perfect […] Read more…
I’ve found a hidden gem in Canberra – that is Rodney’s Garden Cafe in Pialligo (near the airport). The cafe is located within a plant nursery, Rodney’s Plants Plus, so this isn’t exactly on everyone’s radar. The doors into the cafe are a bit run down, but I love the cute mosaic sign on top.

My friend and I had been wanting to try yumcha at Spicy Ginger in Acton for a while, so we finally managed to go there on a Sunday. I’ve only ever been there once a few years ago, and living up to its name, most of the dishes we ordered were very spicy. Yumcha is […] Read more…
On a Saturday morning at Loading Zone, it was only a short wait to get a table for 6 people (they don’t take bookings). The previous time I was here for brunch, I ordered the baked eggs which were divine. As much as I wanted to order it again, I thought I’d better try something […] Read more…
C Dine Bar on the Kingston Foreshore are offering Buck-a-Shuck on Friday afternoons. That’s $1 oysters between 4-6pm (OMG how cheap?!) It’s also happy hour with $5 tap beer, $5 ciders and $5 selected wine. On a beautiful warm Friday arvo, who could resist hanging out by the Foreshore and $1 oysters. It was 5.30pm […] Read more…
Sage is one of my favourite relaxed fine-dining restaurants in Canberra. For taking part in their ‘Taste and Test’, my friends and I were rewarded with another 5-course dinner for $60 to try out their new Spring 2013 tasting menu. This menu is a result of all the feedback they gathered from the Taste and […] Read more…
For my partnerโs birthday, I ordered a cake from the Flute Bakery. He chose the Grand Marnier cake โ white chocolate and grand marnier mousse with vanilla sponge and chocolate sponge. There are two sizes – 22cm cake for $40, or the 18cm for $30. Pretty reasonable prices. At least one dayโs notice is required […] Read more…
