The five-star restaurants of Canberra are beckoning, with their lust-worthy aromas, sparkling wine glasses and chic denizens. When choosing which five-star restaurant to go to in Canberra, The Chairman and the Yip should be at the top of your list. One of Canberra's best restaurants, upbeat and popular with political bigwigs, it has a reputation of being the place to see and be seen. Chinese classics are given an East-meets-West twist, and the result is delicious. The signature dishes are the roasted duck and shiitake pancakes, and the peppered beef and scallop hot pot, but everything on the menu is good.
Another excellent choice is Anise, one of Australia's best-known restaurants and a local favorite. Head chefs Nick Carter and Jeff Piper bring you the best in Australian cuisine. Anise has won many awards for its wine list and will keep you coming back for more, for sure.
For fine dining with exquisite views, visit The Boathouse by the Lake. Lake views, fine dining and European-trained chefs combine to make this one of Canberra's most elite dining experiences. An intimate feeling is created by the luxurious surroundings of this restaurant. Situated on Lake Burley Griffin, the main dining room's large windows look out onto a picturesque view as you sit near the open fire. Modern Australian food with European flavors is presented with an eye for detail. Seafood and venison are specialties, in addition to more unusual fare such as ox. After all the sight-seeing, you deserve a little four-course indulgence, so don't forget to book a table at these five-star Canberra restaurants.
