EAT, DRINK & PLAY

Urban Pantry

An Inner South favourite, whether you live in the area or not, Urban Pantry is a fabulous spot for your morning coffee, brekky or light lunch. Located in Manuka Lawns, the menu is fresh, local and seasonal, and promises a delicious array of menu items, plus irresistible sweets at the counter.

Molto Italian

With endless plates of pasta and pizza coming out of the kitchen, Molto Italian’s energetic restaurant boasts an easy-going, reliable menu. Filled with Italian classics from the deli selection through to ‘Nonna’s tiramisu’, get your favourite plate with a classic Italian cocktail from the bar.

Tokyo Canteen

A Japanese-inspired café and kitchen at the Eyre Street Market in Kingston, Tokyo Canteen is a great casual go-to. Serving dishes such as chicken katsu, XO soba noodles with sashimi, ramen and unagi grilled eel, dine in or order takeaway if you’re on the move.

Perfectly positioned in Canberra’s prestigious Inner South, this 5-bedroom home is unlike any other. Single-storey, it boasts over 360m2 of living space with multiple living areas and a seamless connection of indoor and outdoor living spaces.

A NOTE FROM A LOCAL…

If you’re lucky enough to live on Mugga Way, enjoy the beauty of tree-lined streets, walking trails, large hedges and grand residences. With so many restaurants dotted around Griffith, Deakin, Manuka and Kingston, locals are spoilt for choice. I personally love the Mountain Creek Wholefoods store at the Griffith Shops for organic fruit and veg, as well as Molto Italian, which I often say is my second home. For beauty, I love getting my nails done with Amy at Bling Bling Boutique and lashes from Elysian.
