Canberra is renowned for many things - roundabouts, cold winters and all the political drama inside Parliament House - but there is more to Canberra than meets the eye. For the people that live here, it is also about a thriving foodie scene with new cafes and restaurants popping up all the time along
Lonsdale Street , the
Kingston Foreshore and along
Bunda Street in the city centre. If you are a foodie, you will enjoy trying Asian fusion at
Lazy-Su and
Akiba , food and beer matching at
Bentspoke Brewing Co , vegan delights at
Sweet Bones Café , dessert illusions at
Frugii Dessert Laboratory and cocktails at
Kokomo's . If you are short on time and want to experience the best that the city has to offer, then you can also book a foodie walking tour with
Eat Canberra - where stretchy waistbands are definitely required!
As well as these venues and ideas, there are also plenty more places to check out if you want to have a few memorable foodie experiences in Canberra. These are some of my personal favourites, however if you have more to add, please leave a comment at the top of this article and share your favourite Canberra delicacy - you can never have too many!
Cakes are a temptation for every sweet tooth, so if you want to succumb to the lure of sugar then you can't go past the colourful and surprising cakes and desserts at
Ricardo's in Macquarie and
Space Kitchen in Woden - which are both owned by dessert artist Ricardo De Marco. Crack open a dessert and be surprised by what is inside! If you are in the city centre, then
Dobinson's is the place to go for cream-filled buns and huge slices and pies.
Foodie Events are held in every season throughout the year, with each of them attracting thousands of locals and visitors with empty stomachs waiting to be filled! Some of the most popular include the
National Multicultural Festival , where the whole city centre is lined with multicultural food stalls cooking up a storm - the smells are incredible! There is also the
Night Noodle Markets during the Enlighten Festival which are a week-long outdoor foodie market with tantalising food options from all around Asia. Also don't miss out on
The Commons Street Feast ,
The Forage foodie night market and the
Canberra Truffle Festival , over the winter months.
Farmers Markets are dotted around the region each weekend, however the two most popular are the
Capital Region Farmers Markets each Saturday on the north side of Canberra and the
Southside Farmers Markets on Sundays. Both of these large markets showcase local, fresh produce straight from the grower - get there early for the best buys! Also don't forget the
Old Bus Depot Markets each Sunday for local gourmet products, the
Fyshwick Fresh Food Markets and the
Belconnen Fresh Food Markets , for the freshest of fresh produce.
Beer and Burgers are an unbeatable combination and the best place to experience both is at the
Capital Brewing Co in Fyshwick, where you can walk into a working brewery and try some beers at the bar and order a Brodburger from the red food truck inside the building. You won't want to leave!
Coffee is a "must" in Canberra, with thousands of Canberrans deserting their desks every day to pop out for a takeaway coffee fix. Because of this popularity, many cafes produce their own coffee and the enticing smells have people lining out the doors. Some of the most popular takeaway outlets and coffee houses in Canberra include the
Cupping Room ,
Ona Coffee ,
Espresso Room ,
GreenHouse Coffee and Co ,
Lonsdale Street Roasters ,
Remedy ,
Red Brick Espresso and
Hideout - to name a few!
Wine is produced in the Canberra Wine District, just half an hour north of the city centre. For a complete day of food and wine experiences, hop on a
winery tour or self-drive with a designated driver and stop in a wide range of Cellar Doors - with
over 30 to choose from! If you want to break up the wine tasting with chocolate, stop in at
Robyn Rowe Chocolates and if you want to warm up with a wood-fired pizza for lunch, then you can't go past
Four Winds Vineyard .
