Aubergine Restaurant

Average food. Above average price. Dessert not sweet. Puny serving size. Couldn’t get in for months but wouldn’t come back. Waiters quite polite

Excellent food and service but only commensurate with the cost of $350 for 2 with only 2 to 3 drinks per couple. A treat for anyone visiting Canberra but be prepared to pay.

The combination of Stylish setting, top notch service and unique delightful dishes make it one of best experiences not just in Canberra but in Australia.

Beautiful dishes, wonderfully presented. We really enjoyed all 5 courses and matching wines were perfect. Our sommelier was very helpful and knowledgeable. This was our 6th visit over 10 years and Aubergine has always maintained a very high standard.

food was excellent, however let down by mixed service. We were served the chicken course, without any cutlery - the waitress left very quickly, and no one paid attention, so I had to go to the bar and then let them know, however they were serving a dish also, it took at least 5 mins to then have cutlery given to us. we then asked for more bread for both of us,only one came - which she apologised for, but then didnt come back to bring another serving of bread? Its minor, but it is a 2 hatted rest and when paying top dollar, service needs to be up to the mark, and it wasnt this time.

This was my first 'speacial meal' out in Canberra since Feb/March. I was delighted when I made a spontanious booking for one just 1 hour prior. I was even happier to be able to ask for a seat outside on my own. My mother had passed away on Sunday, and wanted some space out to think, be spolt, and watch the passer-bys with no interaction. So - thank you Aubergine.

whilst we all want efficient service, we were quite astonished that our entrees arrived before we had a chance to order our wine to accompany the meal. service was generally haphazard and careless particularly when pouring wine and water some of which ended up on our table rather than our glasses. the entrees were tasty and outstanding. our two fish dishes were also excellent with the mung bean puree to die for. our chicken and beef dishes were bland and unimpressive. the strawberry shiso mousse dessert had a strange texture and was overpowered by the capsicum sorbet which left a funny taste for some time after the meal. considering that this is meant to be one of the best restaurants in Canberra, one would expect that wait staff would also take better care of their personal grooming. overall compared to other restaurants of the same rating (2 hats) the restaurant does not unfortunately stack up

Excellent service. Very interesting and delicious meals, portions just right. Highly recommend Aubergine for Fine Dining. Best in Canberra.

Absolutely fabulous presentation and flavours. Outstanding!

One dish was so elegant it had little flowers in it The service was amazing too.

Good is tasty. Service is smooth and good. Highly recommended.

The service and food was excellent. The syaff ate so knowledgable with the menu and the wine. Excellent choice to dine. I will come by often for sure.

Couldn't fault anything at all. Staff were unbelievably nice and meals were delicious and out at perfect timing.

The restaurant was an amazing find with a great taste experience and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about the foods they served and paced us perfectly thought the set menu

What a fabulous night, delicious food (Can’t decide which of the five courses I liked best), wonderful and attentive service and delightful ambiance!

Amazing food and friendly service. The salmon was mouth-watering and each meal was cooked to perfection. While the atmosphere was very pleasant, it was also very dark inside.

This was our third visit to Aubergine and the standard has been high on each occasion. Great tasting menu with excellent wine and a lovely ambiance. A little bit expensive but worth it for the quality of the food and the service. It’s a pleasure to go there.

We have recently moved to Canberra and have now sampled a few of the top rated restaurants in the area. I booked here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and was glad to have selected Aubergine restaurant with its superb service, modern atmosphere and exceptional food paired so beautifully with the menu. There are so many beautiful restaurants here and to date Aubergine restaurant is our favourite, well done to the owners and staff for making our us smile with every bite.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The food was delicious, the accompanying wine was superb, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was great.

We have eaten here before and will come back. It is not a cheap experience but I think you get value for money. Good food, an extensive winelist and staff that know and take pleasure in their service
