Yesterday Tim and I went to Canberra (without the kids)... We had lunch at Artespresso in Kingston as recommended in the Gourmet Traveller 2006 Australian Restaurant Guide. There are no two or three star rated retaurants in Canberra and this was one of the only three one star rated places. It was lovely - and we did some celebrity spotting (or rather, 'ex-politician spotting')...

Our mains were:
Confit duck with shiraz reduction and Arthur’s olives (Me)
Crispy skin snapper with roast beetroot, speck, garlic and aged balsamic (Tim)
Desserts:
Caramelized meringue with strawberry shake and passionfruit sauce (Me)

Cinnamon pannacotta with poached rhubarb and brandy snaps (Tim)
