The Pelican Place

Best Known For

Four-hour slow-cooked beef ribs, served with salad and beer-battered chips.

Cooking up your new cravings, The Pelican Place on Hibberson Street in Gungahlin is the place to head for a meal to remember in Canberra. Take a seat beneath the wall of greenery and strings of glowing bulbs inside as natural light streams in through the glass frontage, or on balmy days take to the alfresco area streetside and people watch while sipping a latte. Breakfast faves include truffled scrambled egg, topped with roasted tomato, mushroom, smoked cheddar and truffle oil; while later guests kickstart their dining experience with Szechuan squid, garden greens, lime, fresh chilli and lime aioli. For the main affair, delve into signature jerk spiced chicken, coleslaw, chips and grilled corn; or crispy skin pan-roasted salmon, white bean ragu, eggplant, nduza butter, lemon and kale.
