About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Great for outdoor dining
Neighborhood gem

Gus’ Place is an institution of the Canberra hospitality scene, with a history spanning over 50 years. We are Canberra's first café to introduce outdoor dining, back in the 70s, and has played a major role in the cultural development of the city. Located in the heart of the CBD and bustling with activity, Gus' Place is an all day dining venue specialising in modern Australian cuisine. The famous outdoor dining area boasts large glass windows which allow sunlight to flow into the space, making it the perfect place to catch up for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our team of friendly wait staff are dedicated to providing good old-fashioned quality service, and are sure to take your order with a smile.

With all the construction work taking place on the street, it was extremely noisy. I relocated to another table but then my the person I was meeting with could not find me, so we lost valuable time. As we were both pressed for time, it was most unfortunate we lost valuable time at the start.

Fans weren't working on the hottest day of the year so far so it was very uncomfortable being outside in the heat. Staff did their best though, food was yummy!!!

The staff were incredibly quick and friendly. Wasn’t too busy in the morning although it was obvious that it’s quite a popular spot. The juice was amazing, best orange juice I’ve ever had and the French toast was delicious. Overall a lovely experience!
