We had a group dinner event here and all was fabulous! The presentation and flavors were delicious and everyone was happy with their selections. Highly recommend! read more

It is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. There were not enough waiters and it took forever to be served. I had been waiting for ages before he kept serving the throngs of people sitting next to me. The food is ok but for this price, it is not acceptable. "Bad" is not suitable to describe this restaurant, "awful" is a better word. This is a dreadful restaurant, don't know why it has four stars, terrible service and such awful food quality mean I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK. read more

Perfect food. That's the two words to describe Courgette. For entree, the most delicious fish in the world, fresh and exploding flavour but not overbearing. Perfectly balanced with a sweet but tangy sauce. For main the lamb chops were juicy and tender but didn't quite have the delicious flair that entree had. I would recommend a stronger wine based sauce and possibly some vegetables. Still, the best cooked lamb chops I have ever had. Dessert was very nice as well, leaning towards the sweeter side on the cheesecake spectrum but all together fabulous and a great way to finish the meal. The whipped butter with bread was absolutely gorgeous but with a slightly commercially ham taste incorporated with the butter. Superb meal with great service with friendly but not overbearing wait staff. Definitely returning. Expensive but completely worth it. read more

This was my third birthday dinner at Courgette in three years and I will keep coming back. The flavours and presentation are always first rate. There may have been a change of staff during the past year as the service seemed a bit disorganised this time. This time I let the new somelier pair wines with the courses and I think I will go back to single bottles in the future. Several of the wine offerings were not to my personal taste. My previous two visits I had a different somelier who actually remembered me between my yearly visits and he truly understood my tastes and always selected perfectly for me. read more

So overrated Food is not good. That's all I can say for it, not good. Bad sauce. Not a good menu. It's not so much the chefs fault, more the produce is bad. Wine list is also about $150 for a bottle that costs $14 at dan Murphys. Only reason it's not 2 stars is because it's nice decoration read more

Hi, We have been to Courgette a couple of times. Last week we went to Sage on Friday and then Courgette on Saturday (due to out of town guests). Wow, what a difference in the service. The service at Courgette was cold, impersonal and ineffective. At no point did the servers even ask if we enjoyed the meal. In comparison the service at Sage was just brilliant. They were personable, fun, engaging and described the meals when served. These are both well respected restaurants but the difference was staggering when it came to the service level. As for the food, Courgette was good but again, compared to the Sage, it fell short. Sage had their five course test menu but in fact, they provided about 8 dishes in total and they were all great. I can't say we will be going back to Courgette but will definitely be going back to Sage. read more

Near flawless. The food is divine, the venue is very nice, the staff are perfect. The best food I've eaten in Canberra, except maybe Chairman and Yip. read more

Absolutely stunning. Romantic setting with great food. Not too expensive either (except the drinks). Excellent wait staff. Highly recommended for that romantic evening, to impress visitors to Canberra and for anyone looking for an experience with their meal. read more

I have eaten at Courgette a couple of times in the past 6 months and the first time I couldn't fault it but the second time, regrettably, I was left a tad disappointed. I had the set four course menu on both occasions and I didn't leave hungry on either if those nights. However, if you had a big appetite I reckon you'd be swinging by Maccas on the way home, they are not huge portions. Where they lack in quantity they more than make up for in quality and this was particularly true during my first visit. The desert stands out in my mind as bring one if the most memorable dishes I've eaten but sadly this couldn't be said for my second visit. In fact, I was bitterly disappointed with my 'cheesecake' which was from the specials menu as it lacked the smooth creamy texture that you've come to expect from a cheesecake. I was also really disappointed with the wine menu, I felt it lacked choice and didn't offer some of the more commonly favoured wines like Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. They had an Australian Sav Blanc but in my humble opinion it paled by comparison. Now I love fine dining but not when there's style over substance and I feel this was the case with my second and most recent visit. I'm going to give them the benefit if the doubt and say they (or maybe I) were having an off night because the memories if my first visit are enough to get me back there again soon. read more

We have been dining here consistently for about 12 years. It is our go to fine dining restaurant in Canberra.

can't believe it took us so long to discover this place, (think it used to be home to fringe benefits back in the early nineties which is when i was there last!) The set menu provides fantastic value and everything was superb read more
