We arrived at 12.40 before the lunchtime rush. The sign hanging at the bar said 'order at the bar'. We were sent back 3 times to our table because apparently there was table service. Despite being almost first in the restaurant- the lunch time rush happened and then every single table had their order taken before us. We had to accost a waitress not once but 4 times before someone came to take our order. And then the excuse was- we are super busy. So despite arriving BEFORE the lunch time rush- we were one of the last tables to have our order taken and thus the last to be served food. We left just after 4. Not because we had a great experience but because the service was so badly organised. Next time- take the order of the tables who arrive first- just an small piece of advice.

This place was a pleasant surprise. We pulled up to the United to buy some fuel on the way back…read morefrom the snowy mountains and saw those 3 welcome words - Braised Pork Café. Hello you. There was an adequately sized menu of tasty lunch and dinner options such as salads, rolls, sandwiches and "New Orleans Pulled pork rolls !" Wonderful news for a fan of tasty New Orleans Cuisine and an unexpected addition to the menu. Thankfully there were only 3 to choose from. I wouldn't have liked too much choice as I would have wondered what I was missing out on and seriously could not try ALL 3 ! Hands down the easiest choice was the 'Eaglehawk' : braised pulled pork, diced bacon, grilled onion and gravy served with cajun coleslaw - YUM ! Not too easy to eat in the car from your lap but if you have time to have a rest stop there were chairs and tables for a civilised meal. The service was pleasant, efficient and the meal was very reasonably priced ($9.90) considering how filling, tasty and unique it was. The best roadhouse food that I have ever had and I hope that they do very well. Clean and simple cafe but a nice touch was the mural on the wall to illustrate where you were in relation to New Orleans. The menu is on this FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Braised-Pork-Cafe/470496696368509

Grazing did not dissappoint. We had the Pork and Salmon as entrees, the Duck, Beef Cheeks and a side of Greens for the main course and the Quince Tarte Tartine to finish off. All was well presented and full of flavour. An added bonus was the P.J. Reid Pale Ale on tap, brewed for Grazing by a Canberra brewer. All in all, highly recommended.

If you go in the summer, they have a special menu, which makes it cheaper than most posh places in Canberra (and it's better than all with the exception of the 2617 group's offerings. On the summer menu, don't miss the Ox Cheek and if you can tell me what the unexpected flavor is, please PM me. Great wine selection. Worth the trip. Recommend staying our there, too.

We dropped in on our way into Canberra earlier this month and fell in love! The interior was…read moregorgeous, full of reclaimed wood and plant abundant, the coffee was delicious and beautifully presented, and the food was some of the best we've had anywhere. I had the "baked eggs, chickpeas, tomato, chèvre & sourdough" listed under the Favorites section - the dish, which was absolutely bursting with flavor, was comforting, hearty, and filling without being too heavy. I also had a side some smoked salmon, the edges of which were rolled in some kind of dill mixture - fabulous! My boyfriend had the corned beef sandwich and loved it as well. The manager who greeted us and took our order could not have been nicer. I wish we had a spot like this at home!

I ordered the bircher and coffee from the friendly server and settled down in a cosy corner. My food order appeared after a reasonable amount of time, but I have to say it was not enjoyable.

Order one (duck bun) or two (another duck bun) starters and watch young chefs show off their skills. Eyeball their creations and let that help you decide what to order next. At a glance the menu could be Italian - scratched onto a dark wall in white chalk - but when you read (el loco hot dogs, ceviche taco) its more City of Angels (Ghetto Beef) meets mod Euro (sangria ragu parpadelle). My one dish recommendation is the Lemon Ricotta gnocchi with asparagus. *Drool* . I just need to get over the prices! Is all Canberra this way?? EightySix feels like a passion project of the new school cool. Dude chefs. Dude food. Dude music. Dude, it's good.
