The Boat House by the Lake Barton
Being located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin is reason enough for a restaurant to crow in land-locked Canberra. But The Boat House provides plenty of reasons for diners to attend than just a pleasant watery view. The menu provides the whole spectrum of modern Australian tastes, from Asia to Europe (with several stops in between). Try the wagyu beef tartare and enoki mushroom rice paper roll or the Moroccan-spiced barramundi. Of course, if you do look up from your plate, there is plenty to please, with the stylish and very grown-up dining room backing right onto the lapping water of the lake.
