Monster Kitchen and Bar, Farmhouse Restaurant at Pialligo and Pulp Kitchen were listed last year but missed out this year. Unfortunately Pulp Kitchen is no longer operating.
This made room for The Boat House, Mocan & Green Grout and Ottoman Cuisine.
Aubergine remains at number one and all other restaurants moved up in list from last year, except for Temporada and Eightysix which remain at number four and five.
Have you been to any of the restaurants listed?
The feature photo is of a dish that I had at Otis Dining Hall not long after they opened. It was pork jowl, smoked mussels, burnt aubergine and nori.

Hi Gary,
You’re welcome! You’ve been to most of them and it’s good to see that you’ve enjoyed the ones you’ve been too.
Let me know when you make it to the others! There are too many options for good food in Canberra. My ‘to eat’ list is always growing.
