    Briscola Italian

    Price: Expensive
    Italian
    4.8
    (565)
    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
    (585)
    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
    4.7
    (96)
    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!

    From the moment we stepped into Chop Chop, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere was vibrant yet intimate, striking the perfect balance between modern flair and cozy charm. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was a masterclass in flavour, presentation and authenticity. From the first bite to the last, it was clear that the kitchen takes immense pride in its craft. Each ingredient tasted fresh and thoughtfully paired, with seasoning and textures executed to perfection. The menu offered a delightful variety and every recommendation from the staff was spot-on! Speaking of staff! The service at Chop Chop was truly unmatched. Friendly, attentive and genuinely passionate about what they do, the team went above and beyond to ensure our evening was seamless. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to cater to our preferences made the experience feel personal and relaxed. It’s rare to find a place that delivers so consistently on all fronts, food, service and atmosphere, but Chop Chop absolutely nailed it. It wasn’t just a dinner; it was a spectacular night that left us already planning our next visit. Five stars, without hesitation.
