But, oh, on the OTHER HAND....the herby and fat golden chips they serve are phenomenal and out of this world. Downright addictive - they're my favorite chips in Canberra, and that perfectly seasoned sea salt and rosemary blend they use is a work of art. A neat, tidy, and well run place where you get what you pay for and you get it quickly and efficiently. I would give this five stars if I thought that the vegan burgers were as much of a knockout as the chips are, but sadly most of the time I'm left wishing I could trade in my burger for chips and pay less than half as much.

Eighty/Twenty is a great spot for a very delicious breakfast in Canberra…read more I ordered the "Avo + Tomato" with a side of garlic thyme mushrooms for $21.50 and it was delightful to say the least. My companion ordered the "Free Range Eggs" with a side of warmed tomatoes for $16 and enjoyed it thoroughly. The portions reflect the price as they are heaped and plentiful, suitable for a large appetite. I applaud the restaurant's message, providing food that is clean, natural and unprocessed, as it reflects the standards many people wish to uphold to maintain a healthy lifestyle. They cater for a wide variety of dietary requirements which I believe is very important when managing a cafe. The atmosphere inside the cafe was suitable family get together, aswell as individual work as there are many different table options, eg. individual tables and communal benches. Overall, I would highly recommend Eighty/Twenty cafe to anyone wanting a healthy breakfast with friends and family.

They had a large assortment of board games and the girls had a hard time choosing which ones to play. Luckily, one of the waiters seemed to know something about each of the games and could give us some recommendations. The food was acceptable. I had the chicken schnitzel and also ordered a side salad. I didn't read carefully and only later realized that the chicken came with its on salad. It would've been nice for the waiter to confirm that I wanted 2 salads.... The schnitzel was a bit dry and overcooked, so I wouldn't recommend it either. The salads were fine, but nothing to seek out. My daughter ordered the kid's pizza. She didn't like it much and just took only a few bites. I tried it and realized that the pizza was mostly crust. It was too lite on sauce and cheese. The service was not uniform. On the one had, the staff were nice and knowledgeable about the games. On the other hand, the waiter kept changing the time he wanted us out. We arrived at 4 pm and planned to be there for a few hours. Initially, he said we could stay until 7:30 which was totally fine. A half hour later, he said 7:15, then at 6:30 he said he was needing the table in the next 15 minutes. There was no recognition that he kept shifting the times, so I can only surmise that he was just misremembering what he had told us. He also forgot one of our orders too. And no, it wasn't too crowded, so I can't even give him an out for being busy. So, come for the games, but don't expect exceptional food or service.

Hi, I am emailing today asking for help! There is a staff…read moremember here in Canberra ACT that is abusing and refusing to serve customers. Today at 10th January 2026 1:30pm Woden/Phillip Westfield Dibinsons. 3 staff members 2 female 1 male(short bad tempered manager) decides chatting amongst themselves was a better thing to do rather than serve my wife while she was in a rush on lunch break wanting something to eat. The male(which claims to be the manager) looked straight at my wife made eye contact while she was on the phone to me(her husband) and decided to ignore her attempts to purchase a couple of pies for lunch while she was the only person standing at the counter. She waited about 10 minutes hoping one of the lady's working would help but they to looked at her and ignored her. My wife felt unwelcome and ostracised by his behaviour and left to go back to work after having not eating anything for lunch. This short male staff member has done this multiple times to my wife and due to his behaviour last year my wife stopped attending dobinsons altogether. I have made multiple reports in store regarding, his behaviour, him swearing at me, refused service, called names while walking by dobinsons while he is on shift and even being threatened and told to meet him after work for a physical altercation. Still after all my attempts to report this unethical unfriendly aggressive behaviour nothing seems to have been done and he is still refusing to serve my wife and yelling out to me over the counter while i walk past the dobinsons at Belconnen. I was informed by the tall manager last year at belconnen dobinsons that he had been spoken to. So my wife and i were able to make purchases at Robinson's again. But after today it is apparent that the short aggressive male(manager) doesn't care about the reports made last year nor does he care about upholding a professional manner while attending/working at dobinsons. If possible to have the Short male manager even moved to Tuggeranong so neither my wife nor I have to be subjected to this kind of treatment it would be really appreciated. Not sure how someone acting like this treating customers like this is allowed to remain employed. But I think at the very least he should not be allowed to attend the Woden/Phillip nor the Belconnen Dobinsons from now on. When I find a way to take this report higher or directly to someone I will send another email/message. Thankyoy for your time. Kind regards,
