Pepper Lunch Canberra

Best Known For

Wagyu pepper rice, miso soup, seaweed shake salad and large rice.

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 classic beef pepper rice, with thinly sliced Australian grass-fed beef; or salmon and chicken deluxe combo, with onion rings, sweet potato wedges and vegetables. Pasta lovers can try creamy chicken teppan, or kale and spinach with mushrooms.
