    Briscola Italian

    Price: Expensive
    Italian
    4.8
    (560)
    Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant. Now with a newly refurbished venue, it offers an unpretentious yet stylish approach to an authentic Italian dining experience.
    At the forefront it’s about the food: simple, wholesome and traditional without being old fashioned. The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.
    What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy. Start with an aperitivo to open the palate, enjoy a local or Italian wine varietal and finish with a soothing digestive.
    Briscola is situated conveniently in the heart of the city near hotels and public transport.
    Sit inside or alfresco, Briscola seems to suit anyone… families, young couples, group functions and corporate luncheons. You can walk-in, but please book, it gets busy!

    Two Before Ten Greenway

    Price: Expensive
    Café
    4.6
    (583)
    Six-metre ceilings, wrapped in beautiful glass, facing north-east with views of the water.
    Serving all of our favourites, some of the best coffee in Canberra, and awesome vibes all year long. It’s our sunny site for the south side and we couldn’t be prouder.
    Come for breakfast, brunch or lunch, or grab a takeaway coffee, chai or hot chocolate before setting off towards Lake Tuggeranong.
    Greenway is a nod to everything we hold dear, not least of all, the fact that it’s a collaboration with friends. Tim and Tristan, who used to manage Aranda but spent 2016-2019 setting up their own successful store Atlas on Hibberson in Gungahlin, helped us make this (rather large!) slice of paradise a reality.

    Bar Beirut

    Price: Expensive
    Middle Eastern
    4.6
    (93)
    Named one of the nation's top cocktail bars by TimeOut and The Australian; Canberra's Favourite Middle Eastern Restaurant (2021, 22, 23 & 24); and winner of Best Cocktail Lounge and Small Bar (2022, 23 & 24), indulge in daring dishes, top-self cocktails, eclectic beats, and captivating belly dance and burlesque performances.
    Nine-to-fivers, local poppers-in, out-of-towners, clocked-off hospo workers, and anyone who knows a good cocktail and bite to eat is knocking on the door from 6pm ‘til late. The vibe is charged with electricity, laughter, and love; everyone is here for the fun.
    Whether you’re bringing the whole family to feast, a group to celebrate, a partner to spoil on a date night, or you just want to nibble, drink and ponder the world as you bop your head by yourself into the early hours, the welcome at Bar Beirut is as warm after midnight as it is just before sunset.
    Yalla habibi!

    Food was amazing and the place has a great modern vibe. The Nori tacos was the standout dish. We also loved the flavouring they put on their edamame beans. A great selection of cocktails and the ones listed on the actual food menu are cheaper than other restaurants.

    Fantastic restuarant, a must visit. Super friendly owner and helpful staff. Vegan feed me was incredible. Vibe was great, with good music playing and a mix of patrons eating or drinking at the bar

    The staff are friendly and efficient. The schnitzel pizza and burger were absolutely delicious. The sides weren’t as good. The veges were soggy and overly sweet. The chips were a bit under cooked and just not amazing, the mushroom gravy wasn’t great. It spoilt the delicious fresh crispy schnitzel. We will go back for the mains though, they were excellent. Hopefully they can change some practices with the sides to make them 5/5 as well. Good pub meal. Worth it.

    The steak, spatchcock and octopus was well cooked and beautifully flavoured and balanced with all the ingredients on the plate. To add to the delight was how well the vegetables were cooked and flavoured.
