AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

The Boat House

Canberra’s quintessential waterside dining option, The Boat House delivers a standard of cooking and service worthy of its tranquil location and sweeping views of Lake Burley Griffin. Expect all the fine-dining bells and whistles – crisp white linen, elegant tableware, a hefty wine list showcasing the region’s best, and a playful modern cuisine that sees the likes of barramundi served with sake caramel, and beetroot sorbet paired with a fudge brownie and sour cream. Sit back and push out the boat as the swans and rowers pass gently by. Grevillea Park, Menindee Dr, Barton, (02) 6273 5500, theboathouse.restaurant
