Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Canberra. The crazy thing is that Bar Rochford and the last place I reviewed Corella don't have enough recognition in Canberra. I'm literally sitting at the table writing this review and I must say, the food is nothing short of spectacular. I have no hesitation in recommending that everyone dine here. In fact, I insist that you do. I'll let the photos finish off the review. For the record, we ordered 2 servings of the galette and beef tongue skewers!!! Thanks Nick for the great service!!!
Went here before dinner. Love the wine list and they stocked quite a lot of unique wines. Staff are very professional and knowledgeable. They know every bottle so well. Definitely one of the highlight of my trip here.
Again, Canberra showing the rest of the country how nuanced and elegant their dining scene is. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, the restaurant is very cool, a little eclectic and very Canberra, which we love. The food was delicious, lots of great starters to accompany your main, the menu was diverse yet small which keeps the experience interesting but not overwhelming. The drinks menu was great, a mix of local and imported options allows your taste buds to do the travelling you have no doubt been starved of during COVID! I recommend ordering a bottle over individual glasses as like most restaurants this keeps the dinner a little less expensive. If you’re visiting/living in Canberra and hence are reading this review to decide if you want to go or not, I definitely think you should! Just make sure you book in advance!
One of my favourite restaurants in Canberra and comes highly recommended! The duck and pork were delicious and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to visit again .
Almost a ‘speak easy’ unmarked entrance through a glass door next to Lemon Grass upstairs to a very cosy venue with the square island bar a central feature. The staff were welcoming and pleasant and it was lovely and warm on a rather cool evening. The style of food presentation is ‘nouvelle cuisine’ with shared tasting plates recommended by the staff. Each dish was delicate and tasty and very small - on the way home my husband asked ‘what’s for dinner?’ Not the place to go if you are after a hearty meal - unless you are prepared to spend a little more than usual and double up on dishes. The one thing I found a little strange was the plate of two thin, half slices of deliciously fried sour dough bread served with the the fish when there were three of us at the table. I think if I go again I would order one of the protein main dishes for myself no sharing and 2-3 of the starter or side dishes and again, no sharing. All the dishes we tried were a culinary delight so if that’s what you are after - you won’t be disappointed.
Food and service was great. The place is a bit dark and slightly loud though still easy enough to have a conversation with your friend/partner.
A lovely experience which was well worth the wait on a crowded Saturday night. The food was one of the best I've tasted in Canberra, with many ingredients sourced carefully and prepared very well. The dishes are simple, with not too may ingredients, very elegant. The waitstaff were pleasant and explained the dishes succinctly. Although the serving sizes are small, it was very satiating. The bar itself is very cosy and chill. Just a tip - book ahead because those cushy seats are way better than the bar stools we were seated on. Food breakdown: * Stracciatella with a mix of raisins and walnuts. Served on a side plate with a milk bun from some fancy bakery. The idea was that you gave the cheese strands, the toppings, the balsamic glaze and oil a bit of a stir, then used a bit of the torn up milk bun to scoop up the mix. It's a very unique dish. Some may say the golden raisins and milkiness reminds them of a breakfast dish, I thought it reminiscent of caprese salad without the tomatoes. Well whatever it was, it was inventive and it worked and I really loved it. * Lamb ribs. These were the most tender lamb ribs I've ever tasted. They were perfectly cooked with just a light dusting of salt, pepper and cumin and served with a mustard mayo. The waitress explained they are special lamb ribs supplied for restaurants, so not readily available to the public. This dish was so yum we ordered it a second time. * Duck breast with a persimmon slice. These were slices of tender duck breast, paired with pumpkin puree which was laced with coffee! I did not pick up on the secret ingredient, I thought it might again have a bit of cumin through it which gave it a distinctly brown colour. * Sticky date pudding with butterscotch and mascarpone. This was a very delicious dessert and a great way to end the meal. Just wow! Edit: Food pics from my second visit there.
A gorgeous hidden upstairs bar in the middle of Canberra. Cocktails were divine, the food was full of flavour, and so freshly cooked. We had some unusual dishes here, such as the fried mash potato balls with miso sauce, and the wagyu beef tongue. Service was grand!
A very nice place, with great atmosphere, very laid-back. A great place to go to have a few quiet drinks with friends. We were here on a Friday night, and there was no loud music or raucous behaviour from the patrons. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The menus contained some interesting choices you'll have trouble finding anywhere else. I had an "orange" moscato wine which wasn't sweet at all, and we tasted a nice stracciatella dish. Two things I've never tried before. It was a great experience. I would like to come back and try some other items on the menu.
Quite amazing dining experience for a casual setting - surrounding a bar, high quality tasting menu with fine dining dishes. Would recommend. Yours truly @fooderarri
