Onzieme

Snag a table at Onzieme—if you can. This compact Kingston dining room thrums with a loud, infectious energy. Canberra's serious eaters pack the floor for a reason: the kitchen's modern, produce-driven plates are executed with absolute precision. You’re ordering the creamy galette—non-negotiable. From there, pivot to the smoked duck breast, cooked perfectly au point, and prepare to be floored by something as humble as cabbage, transformed into a deeply savory masterpiece. Downstairs? A moody little bar for pre-dinner freshly shucked oysters and focaccia. Upstairs, a remarkably sharp, hyper-attentive floor team navigates the bustling room with effortless grace. Finish strong with a sharp yuzu cocktail and a dessert that defies logic. C'est magnifique.
