A Turkish Delight
13/12/2011 by Jil Hogan
Walking into Mecca Bah, you’re literally whisked away to another world. Flowing gold curtains and lashings of red, orange and gold line the walls, while couches, soft cushions, lamps and a scattering of candles spread throughout the cosy venue. It doesn’t take long to feel a million miles away from Manuka. When we visited, we chose to sit inside on the unseasonably cool December evening, but when the weather finally decides to warm up, the large outdoor seating area oozes just as much character.

28/11/2011 by Jil Hogan
Canberra has been receiving more than its fair share of heavy rain fall of late, and the day we made our way out to lunch at Lambert Vineyard was no different. As the downpour lashed at the windscreen, we almost missed the Vineyard’s turn off, and the quick dash between the car and the restaurant promptly turned us into drowned rats.

It was a perfect spring evening when we headed out to Flint in the Vines, located at Shaw Vineyard Estate in Murrambateman. When we arrive, after a languid cruise along the Barton Highway, the sun is still full in the sky, the day still full of potential. We enjoy a few glasses of Shaw’s delightful Cielo Sparkling Semillon, overlooking the rolling paddocks and countryside and relax into the evening.

When Bicicletta opened in late 2010, it quickly gained a reputation for delicious, affordable and universally pleasing Italian fare. A creation of the owners of Pizza e Birra and Mille Vini in Sydney, it was a tried and tested business model that hit the ground running in Canberra, where it was located beside the already established Flint restaurant and Parlour wine bar. It didn’t take long for it to be considered among the best Italian dining in Canberra.
