From the tastebuds behind Braddon’s much-loved Sage Restaurant comes Akiba, the most talked about new eatery in Canberra’s city centre. Reassuringly, the hype is justified and Canberrans have embraced its fun, pan-Asian-fusion menu with refreshing enthusiasm. Try to pull your eyes down from the room’s generous timber setting with pops of neon quirks to instead scope out street-food bites including beautifully soft buns and pancakes, or the share plates of soy cured salmon belly and JFC (Japanese fried chicken) – best washed down with a craft beer or “socialiser” cocktail. On weekends, experience Akiba’s fresh take on yum cha dining, with trolleys, dumplings and swift service par for the course.
