Five months on...

Written months apart, my last three posts share a common theme... trees! Coincidentally (or not), City of Trees is a Centenary of Canberra project. There is no denying trees form an important part of Canberra's landscape.

At the National Arboretum (second visit)
While Canberra continues to grow on me, it's no surprise that my favourite places remind me of Melbourne. I remember laughing at an article describing how Canberra's first official laneway restaurant would 'kick-start Canberra's laneway dining revolution'. Laneway dining is nothing new in Melbourne!

But I take it all back now... Loading Zone is my new favourite place to dine in Canberra. I went for the first time for lunch yesterday and again today! The food is simple but brilliant, the music great and the service excellent.

Pappardelle with portobello mushrooms, mascarpone & hazelnuts
This dish was so good... I was torn between eating it all at once and savouring every mouthful! The flavours were perfect - the earthiness of the mushrooms, fresh parsley... Loved it! Now, to share or to keep secret?
