      In 2017, during her long-awaited holiday in Tokyo, Anj, our Head Chef, discovered a tiny ramen shop that changed her life. The bowl of ramen she tasted was a perfect blend of comforting flavors that brightened her spirits. After returning to Canberra, she found herself craving that unforgettable broth, leading her on a mission to replicate the joy it brought her.
      This journey culminated over six years, resulting in the creation of Ikigai Ramen, a cozy restaurant designed by her father, Joe, where patrons can enjoy heart-warming bowls of ramen crafted with love.
      We invite you to experience that memorable taste with us. Welcome to Ikigai Ramen!

      Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant. Now with a newly refurbished venue, it offers an unpretentious yet stylish approach to an authentic Italian dining experience.
      At the forefront it’s about the food: simple, wholesome and traditional without being old fashioned. The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.
      What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy. Start with an aperitivo to open the palate, enjoy a local or Italian wine varietal and finish with a soothing digestive.
      Briscola is situated conveniently in the heart of the city near hotels and public transport.
      Sit inside or alfresco, Briscola seems to suit anyone… families, young couples, group functions and corporate luncheons. You can walk-in, but please book, it gets busy!

      A fabulous evening. Arrived with no expectations - although Such and Such has a known reputation as one of the finer dining experiences in Canberra - and left comfortably full (and quite smug) about both food and drinks. Wait service was exceptional, with friendly knowledgeable staff who were attentive but paced the courses perfectly, and the food was outstanding. We had the set menu, with the starters setting the benchmark. But, things just kept getting better as courses progressed. Nuanced flavours beautifully balanced, offering an exploration of different but cleverly matched dishes singing on the palate. We did need to sit outside with Winter knocking on the door, but soon felt comfortable near very effective heaters that kept a brisk evening at bay. Did we love it? Yes! Will we be back to explore the ala carte menu? Absolutely!

      Got there early, a few minutes before they opened for dinner service as they had been closed for a function. Staff were lovely and seated us quickly. Food, service and entertainment all night was amazing. Especially enjoyed the warm olives, eggplant dip, maybe the best halloumi I’ve ever had, and the lamb was so tender, juicy and flavourful. Will definitely be coming back with more friends!
