Something French
French restaurant
👍👍 What a great discovery, Something French, says it all, authentic, real French groovers, as far away as Lillie, Paris et al. Baked yummies on site from their own bakery, situated opposite the State Library Building on Hay Street close to the Mall. I realise it's a new Cafe/Bakery but boy oh boy we lo...

👍👍 Greatly enjoyed the visit to this French bistro which signalled a return of one of my favourite restaurants in a new guise and new location. We opted for the 3 course option and savoured every one of them. To start, there was a complementary serve of escargot. The entrees were both excellent (the...

Midnight Starling
Bistro
👍👍 French bistro with prix fixe menu and solid selection of local wines by glass plus some French classics for good measure. Servings are a little small at first glance but the sauces are very rich and with sufficient side dishes you won't go hungry.

👍 Food was yummy, but I think the stake was a bit hard to cut bcz I tried cutting it and it nearly flew off the table. But I love the guy with the moustache he is funny and nice 👍 Atmosphere was spectacular, located in a great location. I got to watch the sunset as we ate near the docks. First time...

Cafe
👍 The food here was beyond excellent, it was very good, but the staff have to work on a few things. Firstly, cooking speed. I understand the fact there is only one chef and one hot plate, but the time taken to cook is rather slow. Waited about 30 mins for a single crepe. However, the crepe was excelle...

😐 We had been very much looking forward to Herve's as many people had mentioned how much they enjoyed it. My review may come off as overly harsh, but at the price point I believe everything should be close to perfect The service was very friendly, but also a little clunky. Waitstaff seemed to come at...

Bakery
👍 The bakery is located inside the Design School which makes it a bit tricky to find for first timers. Croissants and pains au chocolat (chocolate croissants) are amongst the best I could find in Canberra. Croissants are not too big and weigh around 78g. The many many layers masterly baked produce a...
