One of better "attached to an institution" cafe 's. The terrace is beautiful with grand views of the lake , the food is pretty damn fine too. The large coffee comes in a bowl!!

Lamb burger was a lamb patty with no bun - still tasty though just not expected. Chips and aioli were delish. Sit outside on sunny days and enjoy the view .

Expensive but good location (the terrace is one of the few places in Canberra with a view of anything). Long queues at lunchtime.

The view of the lake , coupled with the food, it's top notch!

Been here a few times, great lunch always. Good environment

Watch out for the angry waiters . The girls are always sour. Two guys are happy and nice. Food is expensive . Coffee pretty good. Sit outside on a sunny day and look at Lake Burley Griffin. :-))

Book a table to watch the balloons launch during the balloon festival !

Cherry Berry Smoothie ($7)

A little buttoned-up perhaps but good coffee , free WiFi , killer ginger biscotti and Spanish tortilla-type things I remember from Madrid...

Food is more expensive . Better bring your own sandwich if you're researching in the library .

I always order the large coffee - it arrives in a bowl & makes me smile...
