Best of Canberra - Meat Pie

Not a rumour…Chifley and Spence grocers stock Hayden’s Pies which, I gotta agree, are pretty good.

This makes me very happy. I was only told about a week ago I could get them here…! I hadn’t been able to confirm for myself yet. 🙂

I used to have a job that had me visit almost every shopping centre or local shopping complex in Canberra, now we have some pretty good pies out there. My top rated ones would be Griffith Butcher, Red Hill Butcher and Oriental Bakery in Hawker.

+1 for Hayden’s at Friendly Grocer in Spence & Chifley. For me, they are a reminder of how a good meat pie used to be….

Hayden’s Pies at Chifley Shops are awesome … haven’t had a plain one from there yet, but their lamb korma pie is to die for!

Elaines gourmet pies Dickson , Bacon and Cheese is always a winner.

Rumour has it that Hayden’s Pies are stocked at both the Spence Supermarket and Chifley Shops.

By far the best pies I have ever eaten ! Well worth a detour up to Ulladulla if you’re on the South Coast.

Don’t expect too many plain pies either – Butter Chicken, Peking Duck, Steak Dianne, Chicken & Leek, Roast dinners, etc etc.

My favourite is the Mexican pie from Dobinson’s in the city. The hit of sour cream in the middle sets it apart from others.

Pretty much any pie from Flute bakery.

And at the lower end, the pies from Elaine’s in Fyshwick are usually pretty good too.

Oh I do love a good meat pie. I rate the ones at Dream Cuisine very highly (I’m eating one right now!)
