A fancy new Snapper & Co has reopened and you know where to find us this summer

Posted on 27 October, 2022

Canberra favourite Snapper & Co. has reopened with a fancy new look, and give us all the fish and chips, please.

When Canberra’s much-loved lakeside destination Snapper & Co. closed in May for revelopment, it promised to return bigger and better in spring. Well, it’s now open, and we can confirm it has ticked all the boxes.

The downstairs area of the Canberra Southern Cross Yacht Club at Yarralumla now features The Deck at Snapper & Co.—boasting glorious lake views, the new indoor dining space is also La Niña-friendly.

But if the open air is your jam, Snapper & Co.’s existing courtyard area has also been given a makeover, featuring the Container Bar, a gelato bar, loads of seating, a casual dining menu and unrivalled views. As well as Snapper & Co’s famed fresh fish and chips, an expanded menu also boasts burgers, salads, tasting platters and more.

Ian Mackay, Chief Executive Officer of the Canberra Southern Cross Club, which owns and operates Snapper & Co., says he’s excited to see the ambitious redevelopment come to life.

“Snapper & Co. has long been a favourite location to live it up, lakeside. Now we’re giving locals and visitors to Canberra more ways to enjoy it, with enhanced spaces, a diverse menu, and live music every weekend.”

Situated on the site of the old Lakeside Marquee, The Deck at Snapper & Co. will offer an alfresco full-service dining space taking advantage of the beauty of the lakeside location. The elegant but casual space has been designed to be enjoyed all year round.

On weekends, Snapper & Co. will also offer a breakfast service as well as lunch and dinner.

“We’re pleased to offer weekend breakfast with the opening of The Deck at Snapper & Co. Our breakfast menu caters for all tastes – ranging from a light fruit salad and Paleo Granola to Belgian Waffles and Snapper & Co’s Big Breakfast,” says Ian.

But it’s not just views and food. There’ll also be live local tunes every weekend.

“In line with our commitment to support local, we’re proud to announce we’ll be featuring live local music every Friday evening, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons over the spring and summer periods. We’re looking forward to once again being Canberra’s favourite lakeside destination,” says Ian.
