Posted on
Planning to stay in Canberra over the holidays and wondering what will be open?
We’ll just leave this here.
Whether you can’t live a day without having your morning coffee or you’re looking for a delicious meal (because the thought of cooking is unbearable), we’ve put together the ultimate guide for what’s open in summer 2024/25 in Canberra.
Your fave not listed here?
Just ask the restaurant to fill in this form and we’ll add them! If there is an error below, please email editor@hercanberra.com.au and we will address it.
A word on accuracy: we have compiled this list from responses received from the restaurants themselves, so we are pretty confident the hours are correct at the time of publication.
HOWEVER—things change, and people change their mind. So PLEASE call the place before you set out or make a booking to make sure they’re open as planned. And please don’t yell at us. It’s Christmas!
