It’s good to have a repertoire of restaurants where you know you’ll be guaranteed a big and satisfying meal. Here are OutInCanberra’s go-to venues to for the mighty eaters out there:
The Schnitzel Haus
2/5 Lonsdale Street, Braddon
5/33 Gartside Street, Wanniassa
Last year I played on a mixed touch football team and to celebrate the end of the season we all went to dinner at The Schnitzel Haus. If six hungry, sport-playing men (and women) on the team can be thoroughly satisfied after their meals, I think it’s a good indication that anyone can.
Bailey’s Arcade, 2/131 London Circuit, Civic
Smoque has only been around in Canberra since 2012, and it’s difficult to remember where we went for our ribs, briskets and buffalo wings before that. If you’re up for a challenge, have a crack the Smoque Wing King food challenge – 50 buffalo wings in 30 minutes. You can do it!
Turkish Halal Pide House
47 Novar Street, Yarralumla
The Turkish Pide House in Yarralumla is a Canberra classic. No matter what you’re in the mood for – a kebab, lunchbox or pide – rest assured a visit to the Pide House will leave your tummy content and full of delicious Turkish food.
Beach Burrito
181 City Walk, Civic
The only thing better than sitting with your friends and drinking piña coladas, is sitting with your friends, drinking piña coladas and eating a tasty spicy burrito. Luckily, Beach Burrito in Civic is the place where you can do all three.
