A Canberra foodie's adventures
I missed out on trying brunch at Eightysix during Good Food Month so I was really happy when I found out Eightysix brunch is here to stay! Brunch only available Sunday’s. I headed in early in the morning and got a seat at the kitchen counter (best seats in the house). I’d seen a sample […] Read more…
I took a few days of leave and, of course, planned my days around where I would eat. I decided to finally try out Lonsdale Street Roasters 7 after its expansion onto the second floor of the building. I went in for an early morning breakfast and it was already busy with people hanging around […] Read more…

New French restaurant Les Bistronomes has opened up where Delissio’s used to be in Braddon.

Penny University in Kingston is one of my favourite spots for brunch so I decided to write a compilation of my brunches since the beginning of the year. Let’s start with the blueberry and ricotta hotcakes ($16). This was impressive – more like one hotcake but it was one massive THICK hotcake. I was really […] Read more…
Walt and Burley recently introduced its weekend breakfast menu. There was talk about it opening for breakfast after it had settled in to the Kingston Foreshore so I was super excited to try it out. Love the idea of brunch by the lakeside in Spring. The one page menu has enough to satisfy most people […] Read more…

It’s been updated slightly since last weekend so here’s another shot of the breakfast menu below. Our lovely waitress also mentioned the breakfast special of the day, an intriguing snapper […] Read more…
