A Canberra foodie's adventures
La Scala is an Italian restaurant in civic that I find to be a bit hit and miss with their dishes. When you first walk in, it doesn’t look very big until you walk to the back and see another back room full of tables and another room sectioned off with a heavy curtain that […] Read more…
The Peppered Prawn in Woden offers a $35 early bird dinner. This includes 2 courses – an entrée and main, or main and dessert. (I’ve noticed they’ve changed this to just entrée and main now.)

I am really grateful to my partner (a non-foodie) who puts up with my innate cravings and […] Read more…

I left ordering the food in their capable hands as I wanted to be surprised. A pre-order was required for the group booking. […] Read more…
