Truffle dinner @ Lolo and Lola

Well! What a treat. As the third (and final?) splurge in our 2023 Canberra truffle adventure (you can see the first here and the second here), last night Andrew and I ate a truffle-packed three-course meal at Lolo and Lola, a Filipino restaurant in Watson, Canberra. It was delicious and impressive and generous.

Lolo and Lola is delightful and is celebrating its sixth birthday this week. There have been a lot of different cafes in the same spot! When we moved to Canberra in 2002 it was Carlo's, then that closed and was replaced by Joey's Kitchen, which turned into Cherryripe Brasserie, which became Lolo and Lola. If the popularity of Lolo and Lola (which means grandpa and grandma) is anything to go by, they'll be around for plenty of years to come. Yaaaaay.
