But I did manage to find a few gems in Canberra and the Duck at Benchmark was one of them. But before that we started with the bread and warm olives. It was the first time I've had warm olives and I loved them, so smart! http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/ovh3XEFo_pzTnlUIyudv9w?select=RdvuuTOPG-kGDVm_JYDEkA We also had some iberico ham and calamari; both were massive portions and ended up being too much food for two people as apps. But the ham was okay, not the best iberico I've had but okay. The calamari could have been crispier, but I liked the flavor. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/ovh3XEFo_pzTnlUIyudv9w?select=GqUmZltSwBC4NPXmfwPC8w The duck really was the star though. It was cooked as well as duck can be cooked. Flaky meat, crisp skin, deep flavor, perfectly seasoned. It was all there. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/ovh3XEFo_pzTnlUIyudv9w?select=JSxmnMWf5i07kIz8nH_vtg For dessert we had to try the syrup soaked cocoa and walnut doughnuts with Persian "fairy floss". Yes that's exactly how it was described on the menu and it sounded too weird to miss. Regrettably, the dessert wasn't that good. The "floss" was basically cotton candy and the doughnuts were very very heavy and rich. Though the menu did state they'd be syrup soaked, my fault for ordering that. I'm not a fan of middle eastern or Indian desserts which can be super sugary. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/ovh3XEFo_pzTnlUIyudv9w?select=LnRuaVl7aia249Zof-A3Kg Overall, it was a better than okay meal.

I was lucky enough to chat with a brunette who was extremely knowledgeable on beer. Now how's that for luck; a brunette as well as a beer boffin. The atmosphere at 5pm is a little slow but for me it suited the beer ambience as I was waiting for the 6pm bus home. The wine bar started filled quickly and by that time I had been to Belgium, South Australia, Germany and the Czech Republic. A great hour spent before dashing off to make bus. The range of beers of course cannot match the wine collection offered. I don't drink wine which may be to my detriment, yet there are certainly more than enough beers to accommodate the most grumpy non wine drinker. Food, tapas snacks are available at a reasonable price considering that beers costing between $9 and $13 manage to invigorate your afternoon. The brunette behind the bar is worth the price of admission.

Was a nice place to eat outside, as it was quiet and pleasant, and wasn't too hot. Service was a bit slow as I think they were understaffed.
