Some good ones off the top of my head:

* La Scala

* Gus' cafe

* The little italian place on the la scala side of mama's trattoria in garema

* Babar, downstairs @ woden (great risottos and bruschetta)

* APK (woden has great food but the service isn't fantastic, can't comment on the others)

* Ming's chinese @ phillip (awesome honey beef)

* Ethiopian restaurant @ pearce shops

* Greater Indian @ curtin shops

* Chalisa Indian @ tuggeranong

* Chinatown @ weston

That's about all I can think of at the moment.... TBH I haven't really been to a *bad* restaurant in canberra, some have been in the 'nothing special' category but I've never had a meal somewhere and thought 'well that was shit.'

Not sure if I should post this or not, but don't eat sushi trains in Canberra. One thing is they taste bad, but the other thing is the main reason you shouldn't! They always get inspections from some government departments.

Other than that, Gingseng is good, Rowland and Sil are top blokes.

And does anyone get the feelin that the steaks at Hogs Breath are getting smaller?

actually thats one place that pisses me off the last two time i have gone to hogs breath in woden it has been shit. I always get the steak sandwich and the first time it was chewey as all hell and the last one felt as though it had just been taken out of the fridge... stone fricking cold... other than that i love hog breath but don't know if i should put up with it happening twice.

It would have to be a topic about food to get me posting lol

I recommend:

Rubicon - Griffith Shops (my favourite in canberra)

Gus' - Civic

Milk and Honey - Civic (small meals but tasty)

Viet behind Hagi baba in weston

Jimmy's - dickson (My favourite chinese)

Taekee - Dickson (best barbequed chinese meats especially duck)

Pho Quoc - Dickson (really good viet soup (Pho) )

Hoggs breath is really inconsistent, last few times I have had good steaks and burgers, but I dont think they really care about the presentation of the meal. They have also tried to pass off normal steak as their slow cooked steak once and it wasnt till my friend complained did they admit or and gave him a discount and some 25% coupons.

And does anyone get the feelin that the steaks at Hogs Breath are getting smaller?

I went to some boat show thingo.. where people ski.. on water, and the hogs breath girls were there strutting their "stuff" *shudder*. The streaks aren't the only things that are getting smaller.. I'll tell you that. :P

:P:laugh:

What sort of twilight zone is this!

And im not too sure about the steaks getting smaller, i went there for my birthday last year and the steaks seemed good, pricey, but really nice food.

that was in civic..

I agree with loymclure on the maccas queanbeyan driveway, no matter what angle i drive in i always scrape some how!!

GOOD: Lime Leaf (asian food) in queanbeyan, make a great green curry mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Charmers in manuka, have a great potato stack for brekky and cakes to die for

BAD: Belgian Beer Cafe in kingston (copped food poisoning about 3 times now) :(

Chinese takeaway place next to Woolies in Dickson, tastes bad and 'honey chicken' is chunky bits of chicken bone and you have to pour your own sauce over it!! :rofl:

Ali Baba in fyshwick, got sick from eating the chicken kebabs

I love old speckled hen, they used to have it at the durham aswell, but now its gone....

I also like the odd pint of kronenburg from filthy's, delicious.

Jimmy's and Giseng definately the choice for a good chinese food the satay combination at Jimmy's is yummy, as is the Satay chicken on broccoli from ginseng.

Kismet in Manuka for good Kebabs too.

Hey all,

I'm coming up from Melbourne tomorrow for the Canberra marathon. Could someone pop up a couple of good Italian restaurants for me and the boys to carb up on Saturday night? (with the address).

And give a toot if you see a R33 with vic plates :(

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
