Where to find deep-fried Mars Bars in Canberra?

Apart from making your own, does anyone know any cafe/restaurant/caravan that sells them?

The G-Spot no longer exists (the only place I knew that did sell them).

OK, Just tried the ones at the Fish Shack…

AMAZING!!!

Best Deep Fried Mars Bar I’ve had yet!

Well, when I read this i quickly suited up and ducked around to the G-spot, I had not had a deep fried mars bar for quite a few years, and was glad to know they are here (and quite close to my place, dear god I’m gonna get fat, aren’t I?)

Anyway, quite happy with the ones from the G-Spot, a little heavy with the pastry at the seam, but still great (though for anyone who has previously only had the ‘bite sized’ ones, be warned, it’s a full sized mars bar, so don’t order 7!!!)

Trying out Fish shack today at lunch, very excited (Had there basket for breakfast, that was good!!!)

The deep fried mars bars from the g-spot in gungahlin closely resemble a sausage roll at first glance. It’s got layers of flaky pastry surrounding a hot mars bar, and its dusted with icing sugar. It’s pretty good but I’m not sure that it’s actually deep fried….??

When I tried my first G-spot mars bar creation I was surprised on two counts: firstly by the pastry shell, and secondly because I honked into it without realising the core would be pure molten lava. Despite this I have to admit that it was a pretty tasty treat!

However Steve and his awesome team at the Fish shack in Civic rock the deep fried mars bars!! ^-^ Light crunchy batter surrounding a gooey melted mars bar, served with cream and ice cream… It is delightful!! 🙂 Much ? to these guys and their tasty food 🙂
P.S. you should try the sweet potato wedges while you’re there, they’re kind of amazing 😉

That mars bar and icecream sounds delish! (Although given their name I have higher expectations of their fish dishes, which are pretty average in my experience.)

G Spot is still operating. They also offer deep fried KitKats as well.

Apart from the deep-fried Mars Bar … have you ever tried the “Pizza Crunch” in Glasgow … take one slice of frozen pizza, dip in batter, deept fry… is it any wonder they have the highest rate of coronary disease

The Fish Shack in Civic do them. They’re good, in an artery hardening kind of way….

Just checking out their menu for dinner tonight; they do deep fried Snickers too. I don’t care too much for Mars, but love a good Snickers, so might have to try one of those.

let us not forget IRN Bru!

Can you still find that stuff in Canberra? it’s my favorite soft-drink but only Woolworth used to have it and I haven’t seen it there in ages, I think they must have dropped it.

Woolies in Woden Plaza have it, not in the drinks section though. its up the back of one of the isles near the fresh juice (with all the other British goodies)
