I’d read about this new health food shop based on the paleo diet (aka the caveman diet) selling fast healthy meals in the city. (See the Outincanberra article). Thr1ve in the Canberra Centre sells freshly made salads (including gluten free options), soups, juices, smoothies and coffee. There are also massive tubs of supplements that you […] Read more…

I had been eagerly awaiting the opening of this restaurant for months. The first to open on the Kingston Foreshore, C Dine Bar specialises in steak and seafood. We went for dinner during opening week. The restaurant is near the water and will be popular in summer when it opens up its foldable glass doors. […] Read more…
I’ve heard a lot of good things about My’s Vietnamese restaurant. Located at the Cooleman Court shops in Weston Creek. I was able to duck in for a weekday lunch to check it out with a work colleague. There were only a handful of diners during that weekday. We ordered the Chef’s Special Beef Hot […] Read more…
A group of friends and I dined at Belluci’s Manuka for a birthday dinner. The inside of Belluci’s Manuka is relatively new and fitted out quite nicely. Belluci’s serve nice Italian food but I’ve had so many bad experiences with the chain (there’s another Belluci’s restaurant in Phillip). I’ve found the wait time is ridiculous […] Read more…
Loading Zone in Civic recently opened its doors for Saturday brunch. And of course, I wanted to try it out 😛 I ordered the Baked Eggs with tomato sugo, fennel, chick peas and sausage.

This post is an amalgamation of the times I’ve visited the Flute Bakery and their tasty treats. I’d heard of Flute Bakery from several people, but as they’re opening times are Monday to Friday 9am-3pm, it’s almost impossible to visit. Earlier this year, on a day off, I decided to check this place out for […] Read more…
I organised a group dinner at Me & Mrs Jones in Kingston with some friends. When I rang up to make a booking, they informed me that there were only spare tables in the enclosed heated outdoor area. It was a cold Canberra’s Winter’s night but the staff member assured me it would be warm […] Read more…
A friend suggested I check out Bean and Grain for their awesome bagels. I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of bagels – they’re usually dry and dense. Bean and Grain bake their bagels and other breads fresh every day. Located at the Fyshwick fresh food markets, you need to get in early-ish (before […] Read more…
