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.
Creative food served in spacious, sedate surroundings is the specialty of this popular restaurant on the city's outer edge. The seasonal four-course menu (A$88) has such dreamy dishes as prosciutto-wrapped pan-seared scallops for starter, or, for a main, the crispy-skin snapper, fennel puree, and Balmain-bug-filled zucchini (also known as courgette) flower. Leave room for the decadent warm Belgian chocolate fondant with raspberries and vanilla bean ice cream. The restaurant also serves a three-course lunch menu for A$66, which is a bargain for a restaurant of this acclaim, and one with such an impressive wine list.
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.
