Great food and service but my last two visits have been spoilt by very noisy all-male groups at the next table getting smashed on BYO wine and making it near impossible to have a conversation. The restaurant has two adjoining rooms - perhaps one could be designated a quiet room?

What a great restaurant. Tucked away in a suburban shopping street this restaurant offers a small menu of superb food (French and Italian influences) in generous proportions. Expect white tablecloths and efficient service. We have eaten here on many occasions and have never been disappointed. More

The chef and waitress were excellent as was the food which was very delicious and beautifully prepared. It was great to be able to take our own wine and the corkage was reasonable. A really fab lunch. Only downside is the parking.

You will lever leave disappointed. Food portions are bursting with flavour. Lamb shanks are famous.

The food was good and generous, but one dimensional. No green vegetables on the plates, just meat, mashed potatoes and sauce. So although it was well cooked, the meal quickly became dull. … More

The duck livers were nice, though a little rubbery, and a little heavy on the pepper. The steak was bland, and chewy. The restaurant does not stock any drinks, which is a real let down, as the water was nothing special. The servers all … More

Exceptional! This restaurant never disappoints. The regular menu is always enticing, but the owner always has a long list of equally exciting specials. Must try the mushrooms, kidneys, duck livers for entree. Duck and lamb shanks are main course highlights. Not to mention desserts! Highly recommended...

The food was average and the price was average.
There are better places on this block.
It was nice that the chief came out and explain the menu
Was expecting it to be better.
I has heard mixed reviews about it.
The stake was very tough and the duck livers were not very good.
The trout was well cooked on one side but not the other.

We really like eating here in a group or just two of us. Choices in every course are delicious and generous. I keep going back for the chicken and leek crepe and the profiteroles. Love our Damien comes out to chat about the specials. I think it is unique and special.

Had my first meal tonight at D'Browes.
What a treat! Every mouthful was tasty. The chef definitely knows how to produce tasty dishes. I tried the chicken crepe for my entree. Soooo good.
For my main I had fish and chips. My goodness this meal was full of tasty. What a treat to find this beautifully elegant simple combination.
I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food and excellent service.

There is so much to like about this restaurant. We visited from Melbourne at the recommendation of ex Canberra residents and we were expecting a good experience but honestly didn’t expect it to be this good! A great way to start is to be greeted by the owner/chef Damien who greets everyone it seems. He also seemed to visit every table in a very busy restaurant to explain the specials and just have a welcome or goodbye chat. I have never seen this level of attention from the “main man” before. And the food was magnificent and reasonably priced. I had snails done in a different way, tomato based. The juices soaked up by their in house sourdough. Then the duck - fabulous. My wife had a beautiful dish of tempura orange roughy. And yes we had room for dessert! Crème caramel and profiteroles - first class way to finish. We will definitely visit again when we return to Canberra. Thanks again Damien and staff

Not fussed on the food its presentation nor the feel of this restaurant. The hot courses came out scalding hot, the lamb did fall off the bone, but the gravy was very 1980s. And charging $9 for one bread roll a bit exorbitant. It is byo and corkage was reasonable.

Great little find serving old-school Mediterranean fare in a modern setting. Good, hearty meals. My wife remarked that if we lived closer, this would be a regular for us.

The food was mid-quality. Lamb shanks were ok but the sauce overwhelmed the pallet. The worst part was overhearing the owner/chef using intimidating language and tone with our young female waitress. Won’t be returning. More
