Set within the quiet suburb of Yarralumla comes a beautifully and carefully designed connoisseur…read moreshop. Notice the lack of "Bottle Shop" mentions, that's because this particular store was fundamentally rooted in both passion and product. It housed a huge library of wines, able to satisfy even perhaps the most particular wine lovers around, and doesn't shy away from stocking very sought after, yet uncommon, spirits such as The Farmer's Wife Gin. But perhaps the most attractive quality of this store was its personality. Having had a very brief conversation with one of its employees, I was pleasantly surprised that the owner regularly hosts local wine tasting nights. From what I could recall the owner would showcase wines from all over Australia, meaning a breadth of wineries were able to be featured. Having newly opened in this pleasant suburb of Yarralumla, the Cork & Glass has, in my mind, already become a small gem. It's character is defined, and its backed up by a huge library of wines, spirits and everything in between.

This is my favorite plonk shop in Canberra. They know their products, they have an amazing…read morerange, they're independent and you can park out the front for free. They also do tastings and are happy to answer questions on their products and they actually know what they are talking about. Great range of local and imported beers and wines and also a decent range of ciders as well. They are big supporters of the local Cool climate wine producers and are good at making suggestions for your next purchase (and actually getting it right!) My only complaint is that on some products they can be a bit exxie compared to the big bottle shops, but that is to be expected and the rest of their good points outweighs this small quibble IMHO.

Ladies and gents, welcome to a five star food truck…read more The best way to describe my feelings for the Chanchito pork belly sandwich is to tell you that only a few days after returning home, I found myself in the kitchen trying to replicate it after having scoped out Aji Amarillo paste and researching salsa criolla recipes. The Chanchito is like nothing I have had before, and nothing like I would have thought to combine: sweet potato on a sandwich? But it works. It really really works. Now to replicate his "mum's chili cream recipe" and I'll never have eat another food item again. (PS grab the wings while you're there - smoky & amazingly unique.)

Incredibly interactive Museum…read more This place is a one in a million. This is a museum that is well designed for the individual visitor or for large groups. The tour guides were interesting, informative and catered for the group I was with. The materials to view were a mixture of old with new ideas. I love the interactive swipe boards to follow a course of history. The person logs in using a swipe disc and then asked to follow a piece of history. The large interactive screens allows the person to find information within one room, it is like a treasure hunt of historical facts. The room full of large displays of past politicians and the old telephone handsets allows the public to listen to old speeches and the voices of past politicians. The old houses of Parliament are well preserved and and the guides assist students or groups to role play past Bills that were passed. The public can join in while listening to a group role play an important piece of history.

Highly recommended! This is a great newish museum in Canberra that seems to be very unknown even…read moreamongst Canberrans. We visited about 6 months ago and were captivated by the stories of how Australian democracy came to be. Starting from pre-federation, the museum's exhibits are full of interesting stories of the struggles (both in politics and in policy) that shaped Australia throughout the 20th century. It really opened my eyes to many political and social struggles I wasn't aware of, putting today's seemingly trivial gripes in perspective. You'll leave with a new appreciation of how incredibly resilient our democracy is just the way it is today; and with an optimistic outlook for our nation's future.

The museum is actually predominantly a gallery (or at least seemed that way when I was there). Interested art work from local painters that have some sort of relevance to Canberra's past or present. One of the highlights for me was the collection of Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly paintings. Entry is free, so there's no real reason to not pop in and have a quick look around if you feel like escaping in some art.

Will definitely be back - my new favourite eating place while visiting Yass for work

Top food, top service. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience here. The only…read morecomplaint is that it can (and does) get both noisy and busy. You can book a table via Dimmi and that is what I do if I plan to visit during standard busy periods. There's a regular brunch/lunch menus full of sweet and savoury gallettes. But make sure to check out the blackboard specials. Take some breads or pastries to go or order in advance if you need a cake for a special occasion. If you are after a dinner option they are trialling Saturday night only. I've been in at least 3 occasions and each time have loved it. But you must book... Especially on a nice evening, it is super busy. I usually request an outside table as the quieter location makes up for the weather risk. It's undercover and there are heaters..... Highly recommended!!

Came here cause I saw a good review from Good Food. We arrived at 10:30am and the place was…read morebustling. Canberrans have brunch earlier than sydneysiders it seems. We put our name down, got coffee and went for a walk. They called us 10 mins later with our table ready. I love it when business places care enough to give you a call back rather than making you wait there at their mercy. I ordered the juice of the day: Orange, lemon, and raspberry. Deliciously refreshing. I tasted a hint of ginger but I don't mind it. We ordered a croissant French toast that comes with lemon or orange mascarpone with a side of crispy bacon and avo dish with bacon. The French toast looked and tasted amazing. Just AMAZING! Avo dish consisted of rye toast with avo and labne, with quinoa tabbouleh and 63 degree egg, and a side of bacon. The rye bread was hard I suspect because it was gluten free. The quinoa tabbouleh was so refreshing, I felt healthy eating this dish, even with bacon. 63 degree egg wasn't really 63 degree. I was too hungry to care but next time I might ask for a real 63 degree. The coffee was good and the place was charming. Service was pretty good. Better than most places in Sydney. I will be back next time in in Canberra.

Awesome little cafe in Canberra... Awesome you say? In Canberra? Yes being a Sydney-sider I was…read moreseriously skeptical about this place, especially as all my Canberra friends swear by this place. But this place is awesome, and I will make sure that I stop by here any time I am back in Canberra. First and foremost is the coffee! Yep, I am a fan. My friend asked for a strongman cappuccino, and waitress quickly replied - all our coffee is strong. Let's just say this raised my expectations. And when the coffee came out, my expectations were meet. But what truly takes this place to greatness is the food. It is seriously good. I had the green eggs, and I wanted to wipe the plate clean. If you are a person who had a sweet tooth then I suggest ordering the French toast. Now this place is generally crowded, but even if you are not willing to wait and sit, get a take away coffee and some muffins. But either way this is a place you need to visit if you are in Canberra.
