On a local website, we often get people requesting recommendations for fine dining establishments in Canberra. Which led me to thinking that it would be great if there was a website that reviewed the best restaurants in Canberra we could direct people to.
After a little bit of sleuthing I discovered, much to my surprise, that there is such a site! I recommend anyone wanting to sample the best restaurants in our fair city make their way over to the restaurant review section on the ACTION bus enthusiasts (Action is the local bus company) . Yes, you read that right, they are like train spotters but substitute train for ACTION bus.
website: http://actbus.net/forum/index.php?board=33.0.
I defy you to find a single quality restaurant that has evaded their critical eye.
Haute cuisine
Haute cuisine

Re: Haute cuisine
Is Maccas in there?
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Re: Haute cuisine
There was an episode of Undercover Boss on last night which featured Harry Ramsdens. I never bothered with it much when I lived in the UK but last night I'm not ashamed to say I was salivating like a rabid dog...
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
Re: Haute cuisine
The question would be why anyone who didn't book passage on a prison ship would want to visit Canberra...
