All cuisines imaginable are represented somewhere in Canberra and the surrounding suburbs, and if you have the time it's well worth getting out of the centre to explore some of them. Woolley Street in
Dickson
is the best suburban street to head for, crammed as it is with a variety of Asian restaurants and supermarkets. The well-off areas of
Manuka
and
Kingston
, near New Parliament House, have gourmet cafe-delis and fine restaurants.
Civic
itself is well served with places to eat, especially in the pedestrian mall around Garema Place. In addition to the restaurants listed here, Canberra's many clubs also serve very inexpensive meals in a typical Aussie atmosphere.
Cafes
are plentiful around the centre, with a particular concentration on Bunda Street, near the cinemas. On the ground level of the City Market shopping mall, on the corner of Bunda Street and Ainslie Avenue, there's an excellent
food court
, with cafes and specialist stores serving a wide variety of cuisines, as well as a large
supermarket
. Healthy vegetarian ingredients can be bought from Mount Creek Wholefoods, 14 Barker Street, Griffith. Other useful information
