Top 30 Best Bistro in Australian Capital Territory

“The prawn pappardelle pasta was delicious, the pasta was light and silky, I’m guessing made in house and the braised pork shoulder was melt in the mouth with lovely sides. It was a busy Saturday night but service was great too. Cosy and casual dining - we will be back.”

“A charming, fresh little restaurant with delicious Vietnamese food. Loved the look of the place.”

“Incredible food, generous portions and speedy service. Whenever I miss my mum's cooking, I go to Bistro Nguyen's and it never disappoints. The combination crispy fried noodles is my favourite - a super generous serving of vegetables, meats atop a bed of crispy fried egg noodles. Just perfection and for a very good price!”

“Went for a quiet birthday lunch and was glad we did.. food was yummy and didn't take ages to come out... food came out together so we actually ate together.. tables spaced well apart so could talk without a heap of noise..”

“Yum yum. First time ordered off Menulog. Speedy delivery, hot yummy food. Definitely ordering again.”

“Went in today with my mother as we were visiting the gallery across the road. Had a lovely experience with the staff and had an amazing freshly made sandwich! Wish I lived closer so I could come more often. Will definitely be a returning customer :)”

“If you are looking for a venue for a special occasion then look no further than Vikings Erindale. We had our Daughter's Engagement Party (Cocktail style Event) in the Brick and Basil area of the club and could not have been more pleased. The Cookery Staff went over and above. More than meeting our expectations, which I might add is not easy as I have worked in various hospitality establishments, including 4 to 5 Star Hotels. The area was set up beautifully and staff went out of their way to ensure that we were happy. Front of House staff were excellent especially Deb, the manager. The food was nothing short of excellent!! The Chefs on the night should be congratulated!! There is nothing better than hearing your guests complement your choice of venue, service and food. I was so glad that we made the decision to have this very special event there! :)”

“Used to get the chicken schnitzel here back when I was a wee lad in the late 90's.”

“I only ordered a takeaway meat pie for dinner, and it was great quality, it had plenty of meat and I was a satisfied customer.”

“First time trying this place and I was not disappointed! Filling to cheese to bread ratio was excellent in the toastie. Very tasty. Coffee is also good. The guys running the van are super friendly. Will definitely be stopping by again.”

“We ordered sisig, papaitan, chopsuey, and empanada. And this is one of the best Filipino Restaurants I have tried here in Australia. We recommend booking a table first before coming.”

“Great little cafe. Hamburgers, steak sandwiches, hotdogs, roast beef trolls, fish and chips, all at great prices. You have to try the chubby coma burger it's the best”

“Lovely place to celebrate a few special occasions. Great French food and hospitality.”

“Visiting from interstate, ordered a seafood platter for one and was not disappointed. The grilled fish had great marinate and cooked perfectly. The calamari was lightly battered and cooked in fresh oil. The ambience felt like a home cooked meal and the staff are very welcoming”

“Visiting Lambshed for the second time was just as wonderful and enjoyable as the first. The food is consistent, delicious, satisfying and some of the best food I've tried in a while. The wait staff are professionally friendly and accommodating and the vibe of the venue is relaxed yet sophisticated. Some stand out dishes include the Ricotta Gnocchi, King Brown mushroom and Celeriac (definitely on my list of favourite dishes) and the Eggplant Tempura and Miso. It's the perfect place to catch up with foodie friends and order a range of dishes to enjoy with the decent range of wines on offer. It's a special place that deserves the credit for truly tasty food and great service.”

“Absolutely the best chips and hamburger. Friendly staff, certainly worth the stop for dinner and drinks.”

“The name is takeaway and is advertised as takeaway, but the food quality and variety they offer beats majority of fast food restaurants by a mile. Fantastic customer service over the phone and in store. I get food for my colleagues every now and thn. I was quite moved when I inquired about Halal options, the lady over the phone was very kind and put in some time explaining how they cook it and won't be suitable. Thank you.”

“We had the mother's day menu. I had beetroot entree - delicious, salad dressing is amazing, salmon cooked to perfection, wth apple & fresh fennel salad, panacotta wth figues, amazing plum confiture, tuille to die for! The creamy, the spice & the crunch, were a magnificent combination, top score from me! I felt so happy, like I was back in the south of France! I Love this very authentic food!”

“Amazing experience! Such a warm welcome and friendly staff. The food was sensational and the wine was so flavoursome! We had our Friendmas here and stayed the whole day! Winery is beautiful and venue is so cosy. Thank you for such a wonderful time, our group loved it. Highly recommend!”

“I recently visited National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra and it was a great experience! The animals were so well taken care of, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the grounds were very clean. We had a great time learning about the different species and seeing them in their habitats. It was an overall fun and educational experience - definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Canberra!”

“I recently purchased 2 birthday cakes from here and can't recommend them highly enough. They were prompt in their response to online enquiry, friendly and professional to deal with and their prices were super competitive. The cakes themselves looked amazing and tasted even better! Definitely recommend.”
