Unfortunately, it won’t be the delicious Vietnamese food that we have come to love from Miss Van’s but it will be interesting to see how their new venture goes offering Japanese and Korean flavours.
Old >> Turkish Pide house (Civic)
New >> Hannara Korean BBQ
My post about my recent visit to Hannara will be on the blog soon.

No more dumplings, just your typical westernised Chinese menu.

New >> The Alley Bar and Grill
Located in the Pacific Suites on Northbourne Avenue. I don’t know much about this place except that it popped up as one of my new Entertainment book deals.
Old >> Petra Palace (Phillip)
New >> Yummy Yalla
I don’t know if these are new owners or a rename, it went from a Lebanese restaurant to… Another Lebanese restaurant.
Moved >> Lahori gate restaurant
They moved from a small restaurant underneath apartments in Phillip to a much more spacious fit out in Weetangera apparently sometime around mid-2016. I’m yet to go but I found this awesome review from Travel and Beyond.
Changing owners
Old >> Adore Tea (Gold Creek) you can still catch Adore tea products from their warehouse in Mitchell.
New >> The Tea House Gold Creek
I’m excited to see what direction the new owner takes on this tea house, I am trying their food out this weekend!
Old >> Mood Food >> The Black Sheep (Braddon)
New >> Kith and Nosh (coming soon)
I didn’t even get around to trying The Black Sheep before they closed up. Hopefully, the new establishment stays around a little longer.
Closed >> Autolyse
Closed >> The Yarralumla bakery
Closed >> The Lobby / Pork Barrel
Changing owners >> Pulp kitchen- finishing up on Valentine’s day, it will be bittersweet to see the old owners go but exciting to see what the new owners can do with the place.
Changing names >> Paleo cafe to Tallow and Thyme (Braddon)
Changing names >> CIBO kitchen to Deli and Kafe (Woden)
Same family, just expanding their wares to cover European supermarket goods and deli meats/cheeses
Expanding >> Milk Crate cafe is not just a for the exclusive neighbouring buildings anymore, they have a much roomier space in their second set up down on Marcus Clarke street. They have a different chef and staff and I hear it isn’t as good as the original place.
I thought the colour of my friend’s berry tea was beautiful. Not a drop was wasted.
My usual ‘go to’ food regardless of the time of day are their scones or the poffertjes but friend was telling me how nice the apple pie was. I was torn between choices but as soon as she said that she would go halves between the pie and scones, I was sorted.
A close up of the apple pie.
Scones served with cream and tea infused jams (about $9.50). Tea goes so well with scones so it almost seems like a ‘must’ when you come here. I really also enjoy their house-made jams.
Chicken focaccia with gluten free bread (around $15.00). I looked over at my friend’s gluten free plate with envy. I usually am the savoury girl type and her plate looked goooood…
I ‘adore’ this place, it’s a lovely venue to catch up over sweets and tea with friends and family. They are often very accommodating and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Check in store or online for their various high tea days and live music sessions.
