These tender lamb cutlets – crumbed lightly and served with creamy mushroom sauce – are the perfect hearty meal, and you can’t beat mashed potatoes for the ultimate comforting side.

If you’re looking for a dish that’s so hot it will fog up a pair of glasses, Akiba’s steamy ramen really hits the spot. Better yet, they currently are offering a $10 ramen lunch special!

Butternut spiced soup, Little Bird

There’s nothing like a good soup to cure the winter blues, and with its spicy scent and creamy finish, this dish is a lunchtime favourite in the HerCanberra office. Be generous with the butter on the toasty bread it comes with, and dip in.

Vegetable korma, Blu Ginger

Is there anything more comforting than a good curry in winter? This vegetarian option from Blu Ginger is one of our top picks. Grab it with some naan bread to soak up all of those delicious juices.

Maple and ricotta ravioli w/ house made basil ice cream and berry compote, Chez Frederic

It might seem like everyone is in Europe at the moment, but if you’re not, the next best thing may just be Chez Frederic. Equal parts dessert and savoury, this dish screams winter comfort.
