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 char-grilled octopus and black-eyed pea piyaz salad, then delve into lamb noisette, sticky barley cake, leeks, apricot jam, red wine jus and sides of crispy potatoes and mixed greens. Perhaps char-grilled spatchcock entices, with cauliflower okra pickles and ricotta cacik, finishing with baklava, ice cream and rose petals.
