Five day-to-night restaurants in Canberra
Posted on
Why choose between a daytime café and a dinner spot when you can have both?
These five restaurants know how to work a double shift, serving up everything from morning coffee and lazy lunches to evening cocktails and proper sit-down dinners. Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or settling in for the long haul, they’ve got you sorted from open to close.

Here, Lebanese coffee will keep you going through the day, while the imported wine list and curated cocktails will keep you company long into the night.
Open from 11.30 am until 10 pm seven days a week, AZIMA offers fresh and light bites for lunch (think mezze, skewers, and all the Lebanese favourites for just $29), as well as comforting lahme mishwee, mansaf, and more. Make sure to try one of the flavour-packed desserts – they’ll be sure to go down a treat (day or night).

Home of premium wagyu rice bowls, OMI is somewhere between a restaurant and a food court, serving an Asian fusion menu designed by renowned Japanese Iron Chef Ikuei Arakane and award-winning Asian Chef Colin Lau. But did you know they also have a matcha bar?
Open from 11 am seven days a week, head along during the day for an iced Uji matcha latte with ice cream and a matcha melon pan and go back at night for their comforting ramen and rice bowls.
