La Empanada Bakehouse

Best Known For

Spicy pork chorizo empanada, with potatoes and onions.

One is never enough at La Empanada Bakehouse on Hibberson Street in Gungahlin. Bringing the flavours of South America to Canberra, this eatery sets the scene for epic feasting from a cabinet stocked full of empanadas and sweet treats to tempt all tastebuds. Settle in with a single origin Colombian coffee at blond wood tables and Panama hats on the wall, while a vibrant mural adds a fun and funky touch, to peruse a menu boasting every empanada you can think of from pulled pork to chickpea and pumpkin curry. Wrap your hands around a buffalo chicken pastry, with shredded cheese, or perhaps de pino tempts – Chilean beef, sultanas, black olives and sliced beef – before decadent desserts like spiced apples with Argentinian dulce de leche, or ricotta, rhubarb, strawberries and almond meal.
