I came across this lunch and dinner specials sign as I walked past the Woden Bus Interchange. An $8 rice and curry sounded like a good deal. The cafe was empty when I arrived (around 12 noon) and there was no one to be seen. I could hear someone out the back and called out […] Read more…

Located in the corner of the food court, Savoury Kitchen offers Vietnamese food such as rice paper rolls, pho and other noodle dishes, as well as your typical Western favourite Asian foods – honey chicken, salt and pepper squid and […] Read more…
Tucked away on Dundas Court in Phillip is Eat Me Drink Me – a small cafe serving Nerissimo coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, pies and surprisingly dumplings!

I finally organised a dinner there one weeknight with friends. Pistachio nuts are provided on the table for diners […] Read more…
One of my work colleagues walked into work with a coffee cup that I didn’t recognise. I asked where he got his coffee from and he told me it’s the best place in Woden for coffee – Urban Bean Espresso Bar, located in the Department of Health building. He loves it because Urban Bean uses […] Read more…
Croissant D’or in Woden have an all-day breakfast menu and I’ve been wanting to try their smoked salmon bagel with scrambled eggs ($12.90). I headed there with a work colleague one weekday and ordered just that! Sadly, I was disappointed with it. The scrambled eggs were nothing special, just plain and not very flavoursome. I […] Read more…
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop is opening up soon at Hoyts Woden. I wonder if they do sundaes? Read more…
