Does your dog love coffee as much as you? Or maybe you have a dog patting void that you need to filled? Well, look no further than Gang Gang. Located next to the Downer playing fields, it’s a perfect place to share a meal.

Known to many as Ainslie’s hidden gem, Edgar’s offers an intimate outdoor dining experience. Away from the bustling city, you can enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching the sunset on the backdrop of Mount Ainslie—how delightful!

BentSpoke Brewing Co.  (Braddon)

Located in the heart of Braddon, you can’t miss BentSpoke Brewing Co. and why would you want to? It’s the perfect place for a beer connoisseur or your average punter looking to wind down after a stressful week.

Hold your horses, there’s a new Vietnamese restaurant in town! Miss Vans is a vibrant mix of new and old culture, transporting your taste buds across the world. Great for those who have been eating at the same two restaurants for the past month (admit it, we’ve all been there) and are in desperate need of something different.

Verity Lane Markets (Civic)

If your picky eater friend is in town, and you’re about to scream at the next person that slightly inconveniences you, stop and take some deep breaths. Verity Lane Markets has something for everyone. From Italian, Bao Buns and Ramen you can enjoy it all whilst experiencing the city outside.

The Old Canberra Inn (Lyneham)   

Ah, the old Canberra Inn, what a classic! This charming pub has been standing since 1976. With plenty of outdoor seating it’s easy to snag a table and enjoy a beer garden filled with history, charm and entertainment.

Church Neighbourhood Goods (Civic)

No, we aren’t suggesting you go and repent your sins. What we do recommend is enjoying good food and coffee at this edgy little café.  Dine outside while flicking through a Thrasher magazine, dude.

Amici Wine Bar and Deli  (Civic)

If you are a vegetarian, then stop reading now; Amici  probably isn’t the place for you. However, if all things meat and wine tickles your fancy, you have your next date night sorted. Close your eyes and pretend you are in Europe (or don’t, Canberra is nice too).
