A comfortably quick 30-minute drive from Canberra City, perched amongst the lush greenery of country town Tharwa, resides The Barracks Espresso Bar & Eating House. Set within a working rural property, this estate encompasses the historic Lanyon Homestead and rustic outbuildings to suit any occasion, whether dropping in for scones and a cup of tea, or seeking a stunning backdrop for wedding celebrations. Taking up residence in an outbuilding, The Barracks provides a colonial-inspired menu full of satisfying picks, like breaky plates of potato rosti, spinach, mushrooms, grilled tomato, avocado and poached eggs; or a green breaky of eggs, spinach, avo, mint, green peas and sourdough. Lunch-goers chow down on crumbed buttermilk chicken, salad, potato wedges, Neapolitan sauce and mozzarella.
