Six-metre ceilings, wrapped in beautiful glass, facing north-east with views of the water.Serving all of our favourites, some of the best coffee in Canberra, and awesome vibes all year long. It’s our sunny site for the south side and we couldn’t be prouder.Come for breakfast, brunch or lunch, or grab a takeaway coffee, chai or hot chocolate before setting off towards Lake Tuggeranong.Greenway is a nod to everything we hold dear, not least of all, the fact that it’s a collaboration with friends. Tim and Tristan, who used to manage Aranda but spent 2016-2019 setting up their own successful store Atlas on Hibberson in Gungahlin, helped us make this (rather large!) slice of paradise a reality.

Queenies has always been a great venue to catch up with friends, the food and wine has always been excellent. The service and ambience are delightful, we especially enjoyed the live jazz on Friday evenings. Thanks for a great evening once again:)

Locale is a firm favourite for pizzas however one thing that bugs me is that the table always seems to end up crowded by the wire pizza racks. When there is also wine glasses, water glasses, side plates and starters also on the table, it all becomes very cluttered and the height of the pizza racks makes everything seem like an obstacle to be worked around. And this was only 2 small starters and 3 pizzas between 4 people on a large round table.
