With fabulous views of Canberra and surrounds from the windows, this little restaurant in a roped-off corner of the Arboretum's Village Centre is a popular choice for a special meal. At lunch diners must choose from a set menu of two or three courses, while weekend breakfasts have a range of fresh, seasonal a la carte options.
