The green tea appetizer was a unique touch, and the oyster served in a frothy, milky sauce was equally intriguing. However, the mackerel was somewhat disappointing; it was a bit dry and tough. That said, everything that followed was fantastic, including the crispy chicken, freshly baked rolls, and an exquisite foamed dessert. While the suburban location and simple decor may not elevate the dining experience as much as some of its competitors, the friendly and attentive service, along with the quality of the food, more than makes up for it.

The process is simple—just make a reservation and let the chefs take care of the rest, as the only option now is their set course menu. You can select your wine from their limited list by the bottle or glass, or choose to add the wine pairing experience. Once again, it was a delightful journey through unique and creative dishes, with excellent service and food. Although the menu consists of set courses, they are accommodating to most dietary restrictions, and the gluten-free options were outstanding. While the menu changes frequently, they provide a list afterwards, which I’ve attached for reference. This isn’t the place for a traditional starter and main course, but if you're looking to explore new and exciting culinary creations, few places in Canberra do it as well as Pilot.
