Pepper Lunch

Best Known For

Chicken and premium cut steak combo deluxe with onion rings and sweet potato wedges.

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. Perhaps start off with a signature curry chicken pepper rice, or go for something more substantial like wild Wagyu steak, with teriyaki sauce, miso soup, chips and sea weed shake salad. Lighter options include salad with salmon, greens, cucumber, corn and onion.
