3 Best Australian Restaurants in Canberra, ACT

What a fabulous experience! We had a large group and they set us in a beautiful private room. We all got the three course degustation, and our waitress was able to recommend wine to match for entree, main and dessert. Everything was delicious, the service excellent, and the atmosphere a lovely balance of high class, exclusive and relaxed. We will definitely be visiting Courgette again!

We celebrated our first anniversary few years ago and came back for my birthday Good food, great atmosphere and friendly people as always! My top one option for special occasions! Flavorful risotto and tender beef were today’s highlights! BTW we love their small bread!

Second visit to Courgette, food and service amazing as usual. Every dish is beautifully presented, already feel delicious by just looking at them. We had $88 three course lunch and were quite full at the end. Absolutely love the seared scallops and lamb loin. Will definitely come back again.

I think we have found Canberra’s best restaurant! Celebrated here for our anniversary. Service was so amazing, friendly and helpful with suggestions for the menu. The food! Oh boy! The hotdogs are a MUST! Every single dish was absolute perfection. The cream cheese ice cream on the chocolate Bavarian was to die for and the banoffee was WOW! Thank you for an amazing night!

This place has some of the best service - all the staff are knowledgeable and friendly and are great with their suggestions. Food here was delicious, as were the cocktails which complemented perfectly. Menu changes pretty regularly so you can get to try different things!

This place is always top of the least when we visit Canberra. Had the tasting menu this time. Each dish was superb. The service was excellent from start to finish - attentive but not intrusive. The atmosphere is OK (other restaurants have more character) but I'd still make this place a priority if they worked out of a food truck.

Amazing. The comments at the table said it all :- Possibly the best food I have ever eaten. That was superb. That was perfectly cooked. Superb presentation. After leaving Canberra I had forgotten how much I missed the fine restraunts and table service (Thanks Rashim). Water's Edge is a perfect example of that. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality.

I celebrated my mother's birthday at this venue yesterday. Fritz, the ON duty manager was a thorough gentleman. Though we ended up going at the lunch closing hours, he still allowed us to dine and the food was delicious. Risotto was too good and so was the barramundi fish plate.He went an extra step by making mums birthday even more special with his in-house dessert, presentation skills . Fritz thank you so very much for making mum's day a memorable one.

We had the most amazing dinner in the dome. The food and service could not have been better. The dome was so lovely. It was just the two of us with nice music in the background. The staff were so polite and professional and made our dinner so special. Highly recommended it.
