About the restaurant

Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant. Now with a newly refurbished venue, it offers an unpretentious yet stylish approach to an authentic Italian dining experience.
At the forefront it’s about the food: simple, wholesome and traditional without being old fashioned. The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.
What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy. Start with an aperitivo to open the palate, enjoy a local or Italian wine varietal and finish with a soothing digestive.
Briscola is situated conveniently in the heart of the city near hotels and public transport.
Sit inside or alfresco, Briscola seems to suit anyone… families, young couples, group functions and corporate luncheons. You can walk-in, but please book, it gets busy!

About the restaurant

Dive into the bold allure of Bar Beirut, Canberra’s late-night hotspot. Named one of the nation's top cocktail bars by The Australian (2023), and Canberra's Best Cocktail Lounge and Small Bar (2022 & 23), and Favourite Middle Eastern Restaurant (2021, 22 & 23), indulge in daring dishes, top-self cocktails, eclectic beats, and captivating belly dance and burlesque performances.

Nine-to-fivers, local poppers-in, out-of-towners, clocked-off hospo workers, and anyone who knows a good cocktail and bite to eat is knocking on the door from 5pm ‘til late. The vibe is charged with electricity, laughter, and love; everyone is here for the fun.

Whether you’re bringing the whole family to feast, a group to celebrate, a partner to spoil on a date night, or you just want to nibble, drink and ponder the world as you bop your head by yourself into the early hours, the welcome at Bar Beirut is as warm after midnight as it is just before sunset.

Yalla habibi!

The food and service are outstanding and the range of food is great. I'm coeliac but can find lots of options. The best restaurant I've been to in a long time and the three friends with me agreed. I've been to this restaurant twice and will certainly be going back again.

Even if you're not vegetarian this is a fabulous place to dine. We had Crispy Tofu and San Choy Bow to start and Cauliflower Shawarma and Coal Roasted Squash plus Smashed Cucumber salad for mains. Superb! Portions are a good size so we ended up taking the salad away in a 'doggy bag'.

I love TwoBeforeTen Aranda. One of my fav brunch/lunch spots. This day I met a friend who brought her puppy with her so we sat in the courtyard. It’s early Spring and it was a mild day so lovely outside. The staff were delightful - engaging with my friend and I and the puppy. The staff are a large part of the ambience - food is nice - consistently and when possible the greens and vege come from their gardens. I really like going here.

All the shared plates were sensational. The only thing that let this place down was a fairly boring and dry vegetarian main. But we will definitely be back, and adored everything else. Would probably just stick to small plates next time.
