Silo Bakery

Best Known For

Crab Pasta: blue swimmer crab, handmade pasta and tamarind broth.

Part Brooklyn, part Parisian – that's Silo Bakery on Giles Street in Kingston. From a room full of Australian and European cheese to freshly baked bread, this happily buzzing Canberra café is alive with conversation, as friends catch up over coffee and a sweet treat from the cabinet. Geometric tiled floors and white subway tiles add a sleek, clean look to this local favourite where lingering over brunch is the norm, while enjoying chilli jam poached eggs, roasted cherry tomato, chilli oil and toasted baguette. For the lunch crowd, expect options like speck pizza, pine nuts, chard and goats’ cheese; or a ceci salad of toasted chickpeas, quinoa, corn, cashew, halloumi and preserved lemon vinaigrette. Don't forget to grab a loaf of sourdough, or pear and caramel tart on the way out for later.
