All-day Filipino fare with flair has Canberra foodies salivating at Northside Garden Café on O’Hanlon Place in Nicholls. A sunny alfresco area with thatched umbrellas and an oasis of potted greenery awaits on balmy days, or head indoors where polished wood, glowing globe lighting and cosy tables beckon as diners peruse a menu delivering Filipino and Western dishes sure to tempt all tastes. Stop in early for tapsilog – marinated beef, fried egg, garlic fried rice, cucumber, tomato and spiced vinegar – or crispy fried chicken, waffles, bacon, pickled cucumber, sriracha maple syrup and sour cream. Later diners may delve into kare-kare – slow-cooked beef, tripe, eggplant, green beans, bok choy creamy atsuete sauce and sautéed shrimp paste - finish sweetly with peach and mango panna cotta.
