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.

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.

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

About the restaurant

Aubergine is an intimate space, with high ceilings, beautiful lights and simple, elegant decor which allows the product of creative and interesting food to shine. The food style is contemporary, however there is always a classic background to our ideas. The kitchen is supplied by local farmers and benchmark suppliers that understand that rather than we tell them what we need we prefer for them to tell us what produce is at its best on the day. In turn that means that our menu is updated daily. Our wine list has won numerous awards and has over 500 labels of interesting and classic wines. It shows the same philosophy of using local and smaller growers that produce interesting wines for us to get excited about.
