Canberra is a vibrant city that has much to offer for those who love to explore. From the mountains to the lakes, the history and the architecture, thousands of visitors flood the capital each month seeking adventure. One of the best things about exploring Canberra remains that of discovering the city’s locality by rediscovering one’s palette.
While the foodie scene in Canberra is still quite fresh, it is nonetheless ever-growing with so much on offer for the culinary enthusiast. From quirky brunch bars in Braddon to high-scale dining spaces in Manuka, Canberra provides variety and selection that is never-ending.
But for those who are new to the city and still figuring their way about town, finding a place to eat (and eat well) can be somewhat challenging. Luckily, a number of Canberra natives have taken to Instagram to makes things that much easier for us ‘newbies’.
