I’ve been wanting to check out the other restaurants out at Gungahlin for while now and finally managed to try out Da Nunzio Caffe Bar Ristorante. The menu on their website looks good with a range of pasta dishes, seafood and steaks. I managed to book the last table for 2 on Friday night. They […] Read more…
Brunch @ C Dine Bar
I headed back to C Dine Bar with some friends on a sunny Spring morning. I’d already tried out their $25 breakfast prefix menu a few weeks ago, but was keen to try it again. As it was such a beautiful day, we sat outside. The wooden benches were long and made comfortable with cushion […] Read more…
Lunch @ Thai Spice
Thai Spice in Woden serves amazing curry puffs and decent Thai food. I come here quite regularly being so close to work. The pad thai chicken and prawns is my usual order. My work colleagues tell me it has changed ownership over the years and isn’t as good as it used to be. It still […] Read more…

Brunch @ 4th Seed
