Bookplate - Canberra

Came here for an early lunch after going to Questcon. The ambience is lovely which is highlighted with the beautiful stain glass windows.I got seated immediately and was told to go to the counter to order. The menu had your classic cafe dishes but the specials were something else. I got the pork and fennel sausage with a ratatouille and mash side $24). It was amazing!! The portion was generous and the flavours were bursting. Would totally come back if it was a regular item. The coffee and cakes look delicious too but I was too full to have more.

3.6. Terrific little cafe located at the National Library. It’s a charming spot. We felt instantly at home here. And it wasn’t just the presence of the beautiful Leonard French stained glass windows either. The cafe itself is nicely appointed and just feels right. The coffee here was sound. I enjoyed it. Strong and inky will usually work. Service was a little constipated here I thought. There was just a little bit of high handedness about it. But, we were still laughing from the Inked Exhibition here at the Library an exhibition of top Australian cartoons over the years and just let it ride.

Really beautiful seating area outside with heaters above. Chilli scrambled eggs and regular scrambled eggs were perfect. Coffee was excellent and service was prompt and pleasant.

This cafe was hidden inside the National Library. Such a popular place for locals and tourists. I loved the decor with several large colourful stain glass windows and beautifully presented cafe name bench. Felt a little bit weird that you need to order your drinks and food at the counter... maybe that’s more efficient. We didn’t get the chance to try their brunch menu, but the coffees& carrot cake we had was pretty good. It will be a great place to chilli out and have a decent brunch with friends and enjoy the nice vibe.

My first ZOMATO review goes to Bookplate Canberra.<br/ <br/ Absolutely must go in Canberra!<br/ It’s located in National Library and has an outdoor area, stoning view and family friendly: <br/ Staffs are smiling, seats are comfy, foods are nice, relaxed and peaceful spot.
