Dinner @ Grazing, Gundaroo

For several years now Andrew and I have regularly dined at Grazing in Gundaroo. It's where fine dining meets country pub ... spectacular food, friendly service, and a roaring fire if you go there in winter. In short, nice! Grazing is a great choice for special occasions and our latest visit was a couple of weeks ago to celebrate a birthday. The menu showcases food and wine from the Canberra district.

This time I enjoyed:

The vego entrée: machengo custard with shaved

raw asparagus, almonds, broccolini and peas

Slow-cooked pork belly for main course

Frozen caramel and salted hazelnut custard with

chocolate parfait for dessert (the waitstaff heard someone

in our party was having a birthday and decorated his plate)

Cheers!

Grazing is in the Royal Hotel Building on the corner of Cork and Harp Streets in Gundaroo, about a half hour drive from Canberra.
