my today popular restaurant in canberra after my third visit. man and I chose everything you can eat. there was nothing left to us. my favorites were the pasta dishes, roasted chicken, bark fillet and of course the banofee cake. View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about Eightysix:
has always delivered amazing food and a fantastic experience. but we ordered the tasting menu and felt that it was not a good value for money. we left starving because the food we were served was suitable for one person was not two. it was not worth everyone. the highlight was dessert, as we received individual portions. we will only go back for the Dessert menu, not for a main meal.

We had been waiting a while to eat at 86 and it didn't meant expectations at all. Clumsy service and mediocre food. We had a table booked for 8:30 and when we arrived we were told we would have to wait 30 minutes for a table, luckily they had space at the bar. When we asked the waitress whether we had ordered enough food, she said what we had ordered wouldn't be enough and encouraged us to order one of the larger meat plates. By the time we had got through all of the food that we had wanted we were more than satisfied, and still waiting on the extra plates we had been told we would need. The food wasn't terrible, but it also doesn't deserve the hype that I've been hearing about it over the last 6 months since moving to Canberra. Asparagus was nice, but does three stalks of asparagus with some herbs and aioli deserve an $18 price tag? I don't think so. The fried chicken wings were good, ravioli was tasty but the pasta was very thick. Maybe if the prices hadn't been so extortionate this review would be slightly better, but if you're going to charge those prices, please make the food and service on par.

Massive fan of this place. Hands down probably one of the best places you'll eat in Canberra. Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. Make sure you make a booking because this place always gets booked out, even on a weekday. The staff are very friendly and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Started off with the fried chicken which was tender and moist. This was followed by the cauliflower salad which was amazing. As a main we shared the lamb wagyu. The dessert was the star of the show : the famous banoffie pie everyone raves about but I understand why. The crumb is sweet with a hint of salt, caramel and fresh bananas and cream / topped with salted pretzels. Yummm!!! Would definitely come here again to try the Black Chicken.
