Blending the rich culinary traditions of Istanbul with the vibrant culture of Australia, head to Rakkas Restaurant on Eastlake Parade in Kingston for an unforgettable dining experience. This Canberra hot spot takes diners on an enchanting journey through Turkish flavours, seasonal cocktails named after famous Turkish cities and delicious dishes, all served in moody surrounds of subdued lighting, sparkling glassware and intimate table settings. Start your adventure with scallops wrapped in Turkish pastrami with XO butter, pickled daikon, caviar and black tahini hummus; then delve into char-grilled lamb backstrap, smoked eggplant begendi, red wine jus and apricot marmalade. Perhaps Wagyu rump skewers hit the mark, with porcini and pearl barley keshkek, red wine jus and Turkish chilli.
