After a first time visit to Poacher's Pantry on Sunday I will definitely be returning soon! I enjoyed a leisurely lunch with girlfriends and was impressed with the food and service. The restaurant was already packed when we arrived so bookings are essential. We had the choice of indoor or outdoor seating but as it was a chilly Canberra day... More

Great food but very expensive and the service was terrible. Had to ask to be served every time. Nice location and if the staff were better trained it could be a great experience and you would not mind the price.

Wow! Who would have thought such a gourmet restaurant existed out in the scrub! After driving past the paddocks of sheep, there in the middle of nowhere was this collection of farm building housing a smokehouse shop and restaurant.

The menu was a bit strange for the season for instance there was a steaming hot rabbit pie which would... More

We were being told about this place by one of our friend and we decided to have brunch at this place on Saturday.The place had big nice outdoor setting but I think it is better if you book it early as it is bit of drive if you live in south side. Food and coffee was good. There was a... More
