This modern Southeast Asian fusion bar and diner has us saying “OH YES” to dinner in Manuka.
Created by the team who brought The Pedlar to Campbell, OHNO! promises fun, frivolity and fine food—everything the Inner South precinct needs. How does a Sesame Prawn Donut, with prawn mayo, bonito, and coriander cress or Mango and Cardamom Brûlée sound?

Now open on Giles Street in Kingston, Jiangnan Talk is, well…the talk of the town. Bringing some more Chinese options to the south, the menu includes everything from Prawn Dumpling Soup to Sizzling Garlic Chicken and Special Fried Rice. But the real highlight? Yum cha, which is offered every Saturday and Sunday.

Originally located at Verity Lane Market, it looks like Lim Peh will be opening in Woden very soon. And you should be excited.
Inspired by the hawker stalls of Singapore and their signature Wan Tan Mee (dry egg noodles topped with wontons, choy sum and char siu pork, accompanied by a hearty broth) Lim Peh Wan Tan Mee dishes up an authentic taste of Singapore.
