Pepper Lunch Canberra

Best Known For

Signature Pepper rice dishes such as kimchi chicken, or classic beef.

At the centre of Canberra’s many organised, sculptured boulevards is do-it-yourself restaurant, Pepper Lunch on Bunda Street. An unassuming frontage gives way to a welcoming interior of warm brick and wood panelling, complete with a stone tiled bar, light wooden dividers and lifelike artificial grass. Originating in Japan, the concept of Pepper Lunch is that the plate itself is the grill and the diner is the Chef, stirring and frying up Asian-style fare, as well as taking on the added responsibility of sauces and seasoning. Start off with prawn salted egg Pepper rice, before slicing a knife into premium steak, like wild Wagyu or rib eye, with Pepper salad and rice; perhaps a sizzling curry such as chicken karaage entices, while pasta lovers twirl a fork around kale, spinach and mushrooms.
