About The Boat House
Surrounded by private parkland overlooking Lake Burley Griffin, The Boat House is the ideal place to relax and enjoy award-winning dining. Escape from the city life of Canberra and enjoy stunning lake views, with a dining room of rich décor, an open fireplace, white table linens and ambient lighting. Waterside dining calls for seafood, as a seasonally changing menu has been created to offer locally sourced produce used to create stunning dishes like smoked duck breast, Pedro Ximenez cherry, carrot and radicchio, or scallop tortellini, salmon roe, crème fraiche and Warrigal greens. For the main, delve into White Pyrenees lamb noisette, Tasmanian walnut, beetroot and rocket, or Scotch fillet, black garlic jus, burnt onion and snake beans; finishing with dark chocolate fudge and ice cream.
