Gus's is a great place to go for a nice lunch or a coffee. just one of many great places in civic for a quick meal or coffee

Lovely place to have a casual catch up with some friends- the atmosphere is fantastic and the food is always a pretty sure bet. The hot turkish apple tea is a great choice.

I really like Gus'. It's always a sure bet for decent food. The location really makes it - right in the heart of Canberra with ample dessert/bar options! Of course, you can never say no to an all-day breakfast menu either.

Approximate cost: $20

Always go here for breakfast whenever I am in Canberra. The Eggs benedict is really good.
Good location in the city also, and is always busy - but always seem to fit you in somewhere. And the staff are always on top of things.
Coffee is really good as well.

I have been to Gus's on a number of occasions, it's in a great location and the food is good. The staff are competent and friendly and the atmosphere is great! The prices are reasonable though the inside register area is often crowded and it is hard to make your way to pay. Overall this is a great place to stop for a coffee or a meal.

I go to Guss's quite often as the coffee is GREAT! The staff are also very friendly, obliging and attentive. The food is quite nice but a bit expensive and sometimes a bit fussy. The fixed menu doesn't have enough scope and the specials are usually as expensive if not moreso than the regular menu. The surcharge on Sunday's and Public Holidays is a bit over the top too. But having said all that, most days you'll find me there at some stage having a delicious flat white.

This cafe can be a bit hit and miss. I've had a Caesar salad their three times. The first two times it was lovely, but the third was horrid, and that same night my boyfriend has soggy battered fish. I guess if you get the good cook then this is a good place to eat.

Gus' is one of those Canberra icons, and in my experience has always been worth the hype. All day breakfast, a great variety of food options and fair prices make it a good place to eat. The atmosphere and (as others have mentioned) people watching opportunities make it easy to sit and watch/talk for a whole afternoon. Just don't rely on getting a table on Fri/Sat night and you'll be ok!

Approximate cost: $15-30

While visiting Canberra I read of this place and we had breakfast there. Superb espresso coffee and a beautiful omelette with potato, capsicum, onion, cheese, chorizo. I would love to eat there again. a bit pricey but the quality justifies it. Access to a loo but you need ot ask staff for a key.

Approximate cost: $16

I love this place. Great location most of the time the staff are on the ball. Awesome place to people watch and good food from breakfast through to dinner.
