Sometimes all there is to think about on a night out is how sore your feet are and the plan of attack to ditch the bar and grab a late-night carb fix. Or, you might be at home craving a late night feed. Wherever you are, if your stomach is still grumbling late at night, look no further than these venues.

AKIBA

Taking restaurant quality to the late hours of the night, what can’t Akiba do? From Thursday to Saturday, you can tuck into their bold street food and sip on inventive cocktails. Centrally located on Bunda Street, it’s your go-to for flavour long after the sun’s gone down.

KEBABA

Is there anything better than tucking into a kebab after a night out? Kebaba is open late every night on Bunda St and serves a range of fresh, modern Turkish food. From classic kebabs through to traditional pides, gozleme and HSPs, load them up with your favourite sauce and meats and you’re set for the road home.

KITA

The nocturnal hotspot of Canberra, Kita is a haven for people who simply need a quality feed and a great coffee past 9 pm until 6 am the next day, from Wednesday to Sunday.
