Restaurants
Lazy Su
Restaurant
Lazy Su is one of Canberra’s buzziest venues for a reason. Splashed in neon, this fast-paced Asian diner serves Wagyu cheeseburger spring rolls, DIY bao plates and an upbeat soundtrack full of ’80s and ’90s bangers.
Corella
Restaurant
Native Australian ingredients are prevalent on restaurant menus nowadays. But this sophisticated restaurant and bar from the team behind Assembly is fiercely committed to the stuff, serving exacting plates with larrikin spirit.
Italian & Sons
Restaurant
A relaxed, no-tablecloths trattoria serving house-cut pasta, woodfired focaccia and antipasti from the family behind Canberra favourite Mezzalira.
Eightysix
Restaurant
Set plum in the city centre, it’s no surprise this lively spot packs out nearly every night of the week. Despite this, it somehow manages to still feel like a relaxed neighbourhood bistro, with an energetic soundtrack and quality food to match.
Cafes
Gather
Cafe
This laid-back cafe takes a wholesome, seasonal approach to cafe dining – with a few international twists along the way. House-made kombucha, good coffee and gluten-free treats from Sydney's Munja Bakehouse round out the offering.
Barrio Collective Coffee
Cafe
House-roasted coffee, plus house-made nut milk, chai, pickles and more, underscore the care this 15-seat cafe puts into doing simple things as well as possible.
Bars
Wine Room
Bar
They say good things come in small packages, and this tiny laneway bar in stylish Braddon proves it. Taking cues from the pintxos bars of Spain, it's equally suited to casual drinks or something bigger, with a menu that's seasonally-driven and stacked with global influences.
Bentspoke Brewing Co
Bar
Canberra’s most celebrated craft brewery. It’s the best spot to try one of Bentspoke’s award-winning brews (there’s a decent food menu too), whether you’re an out-of-towner or just after an after work bev.
