A Bite To Eat a Drink as well
I love the Canberra eating districts of Manuka, Dickson and Kingston but I always admire successes that crop up in suburban shopping centres. A Bite to eat found its niche in Chifley and has built on the flair of the tiny shop strip. From the outside it could be a beatnik café, with the bohemian air apparent at a glance. Inside, none of the tables seem exactly alike in the carefully mismatched dining room, the theme is maintained throughout, a shrine to post ww2 laminex design, tacky if done wrong, enhances the comfortable surroundings of a bite to eat. my wife and i came on a Saturday afternoon and were lucky to get a table. While Ordering at the bar I grabbed a look into the neat and homely kitchen, noticing one of the basic requirements for good food, Happy chefs, Coupled with the friendly professional floor staff, are factors essential for a great feed.
We chose Bruscetta with olive tapenade, tomato, haloumi and basil with sweet vinaigrette12.50 and a Roasted pumpkin, olive tapenade, roasted capsicum, feta and rocket on toasted pide 8.5. (both Vegetarian so we could share) were delicious combinations and quite a meal by them selves. Matching with beer or wine was an option, though 2 superb coffees did just as well.
After visiting A bite to eat I discovered a range of experiences on offer. They host modern Australian al a carte Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights with pizza night on Wednesday. With the change of seasons a degustation evening welcomes in a new menu, so customers can try a broad selection in one go(next one due early September). Two years ago they expanded into the shop next door, creating enough space for monthly live music shows, the next one being “Hazy Gates” on Sunday the 2nd of September.
The two owners, Rebecca Kelly (chef) and Daniela Mckeon (designer), have put together an impressive establishment, so in order to give this diverse restaurant a thorough review I will be returning shortly to try the al a carte, stay tuned for updates.
