This review is for Rosie's Chicken, Canberra ACT

Great place to get a quick meal before lectures. Very cheaply priced and good quality (though I am sure it is not all that good for you). Makes good chicken and chips. Quick service and very friendly. Conveniently located near Manning Clark lecture theatres.

Approximate cost: $6

This is a nice cafe. The range of food available. The vanilla slice, iced doughnuts and cheesecake include the dessert items available (I particularly like the vanilla slice). They do take away coffee too. They do lunches and brekkie too, all around $10. Plenty of available seating available, and very quick and fast service. Conveniently located near the Manning Clark lecture theatres.

This review is for ANU Bar, Canberra ACT

A great venue with some great musical acts. There is outdoor seating or you can sit inside the venue. The decor is modern and had nice 'mood' lighting. Alright service with a great number of drinks available. They have other events, such as Oktoberfest (though it has a tendency to get a bit out of hand).

It was a good place to work out. It only went occasionally and on a casual basis. The trainers did not pay me much attention and I was not really given any guidance. The equipment is good and going for a spin on the spin bikes was good. The pool was nice, though it is a bit small and there are many classes for school children there. Overall, a nice experience.

The doctors here are quite helpful. They do bulk billing and there is easy access for ANU students. They helped a lot when I was sick with gastro though I did have to wait a while to be seen. Another time when I had an appointment, but I did have to wait another hour before I could see the doctor. Both times, the doctors were helpful in fixing the medical issues that I had. The waiting room is clean and there is a water cooler for those that need water. There is also a female doctor for those who need one.

It was a nice experience. The meals were pricey though the meals themselves were quite good. The waffles there are amazing and I would go back to have them again (though the price is a major sticking point). The place feels very classy and the service staff are polite.

This review is for The Pancake Parlour, Canberra ACT

It was a nice dining experience. The service was a bit slow but there is a great range of pancake dishes to chose from. They also serve main meals as well, but they tend to be a little disappointing and not that good value in comparison with the pancakes. The drinks are good value as well. The atmosphere is nice (probably due to the slightly dated feel of the place) and is great for a cosy meal with friends .

This review is for The London Burgers & Beers, Canberra ACT

This place was a great place for a small celebration with friends. The different types of burgers on the menu was great. All burgers come with chips/wedges. The wedges were tasty and well cooked. The vegetarian burger was much better than expected and the meal was very decent for its price. The waffles were alright but could have been better. We did book in advance and the staff were very helpful. The decor is lovely - I really liked the use of blacks and whites, and the waiters were nicely presented as well.

This review is for Cafe Essen, Canberra ACT

I have ordered cheesecake from this shop. They have a variety of different cheesecakes - blueberry, plain and Mars bar. They are really pricey and I was expecting a lot from them. Unfortunately, they were just ordinary and lacked a depth of flavour (or richness). The service was slow and the waiter initially charged us incorrectly as well.

This review is for Milk & Honey, Canberra ACT

This place is a great breakfast opinion. Though a little pricey, the service was good and reasonably quick (given that there were approximately 12 of us). The option I selected was good - the bacon was nice and crispy. There were a lot of options on the meals for brekkie. It had many healthy meals and drinks too. The decor was modern and fresh, and has outdoor sitting for those who want it. A great place for a morning get together with friends!

Approximate cost: $12
