    Briscola Italian

    Price: Expensive
    Italian
    4.8
    (546)
    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!

    (80)
    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!

    (153)
    Step into COMPA, here the servings are generous and
    the atmosphere is effortlessly sophisticated. It feels
    instantly familiar. Descending into the space is like giving
    an old friend a long overdue hug.
    For Matt Moran’s ACT debut - antipasto, pasta and charcoal
    dishes bring a touch of Tuscany to your table. As with all
    his establishments, at the heart of his menu is quality
    produce that is fresh, seasonal and locally sourced.
    COMPA is built on a simple, often forgotten pairing: good
    food and good company.
