The main restaurant precincts are around the city center and in the trendy suburbs of Manuka and Kingston. However, many fine eateries are tucked away in such suburban centers as Griffith, Ainslie, Belconnen, and Woden. In Dickson, Canberra's Chinatown, a line of inexpensive, casual eateries along Woolley Street includes many little spots serving Vietnamese, Malaysian, Chinese, Turkish, and Italian cuisine.
This lively restaurant calls itself a modern version of the traditional Roman trattoria. It serves regional Italian cuisine using local produce, much of it from the owner's farm. Sit among the hanging salamis at tables covered in white paper and feast on antipasti such as chili and garlic prawns. Move on to one of the delicious pizzas (Sicilian anchovy, black olive, and baby caper are standouts), or one of the dishes of the day, like wood-roast suckling pig with apple and sage. Finish with Ligurian honey panna cotta, or one of the imported Italian cheeses. Buon appetito.
Everything about this cozy romantic restaurant speaks of attention to detail. Savor the melded flavors of prawns, clams, and crab chowder to start things off, then consider the duck confit and Toulouse sausage or pork belly cassoulet among the mains. Later you can linger over such delicious desserts as honey-rum panna cotta with baby figs and ginger ice cream. You can build your own degustation menu from the à la carte menu, choosing from four to seven courses. The four-course, for example, is A$60, or A$95 with paired wines.
At this swanky eatery tables are set with fine linens and crystal, and huge windows look out over the sparkling waters of Lake Burley Griffin. The menu cleverly blends French and Mod Oz influences with dishes such as duck breast and pressed leg confit with potatoes and rosemary gratin and sautéed sweet cabbage, and a luscious dessert of passion-fruit soufflé and coconut–and–kaffir lime sorbet. An impressive wine list has many by-the-glass vintages.
