Was Anonym at Eightysix a mag?
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 came here on a Sunday evening, in a group of six. Quite an early 6pm dinner before a show. I like the simple but hip ambience and feel of the place. We were served quickly and efficiently, consistently attended to throughout the evening. And the food was beautifully consistent too. Overall, the dishes were on the slightly spicy side but very fresh. The standout was the Pumpkin and Mascarpone Tortellini, although at $34 a serving that consisted of only 5 individual tortellinis, it's probably on the slightly steeper side. The Black Chicken ($42) was also delicious and well balanced. Overall, I really enjoyed Eightysix and would recommend it!

Delicious!! Throughly enjoyed every part, from the service to the food. Great to see a team of people working together to make something special.

NOTE: no longer open for lunch - only dinner. Here for a Saturday night dinner. What a great casual dining experience. The dishes are meant to be shared. The Black Chicken was great - moist, flavoursome, and 2 large piece of chicken. We were watching other tables and the food that was being served - and there was so many tempting things. HINT: do the all you can eat for $80 per person option and  try everything. The staff were welcoming and engaging. No wonder this place is so popular - we will be back to try the entire menu.

The food was amazing, and the service was outstanding—truly some of the best we’ve experienced. We were traveling from Melbourne with my mum, who doesn’t speak English, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We ordered the risotto, which was extremely oily. While we initially found it overwhelming, we later learned the dish is meant to be that way. The team was incredibly kind and accommodating, offering to swap the dish for us without hesitation. Unfortunately, despite the wonderful food and service, our experience was overshadowed by a drunk and disruptive person seated next to us. While we understand the restaurant has a lively atmosphere, this individual was clearly intoxicated, making it impossible to enjoy our meal fully. We had even considered staying for dessert, but the situation made it unbearable. It’s a shame that such a great experience was marred by one inconsiderate guest.

This place is always top of the least when we visit Canberra. Had the tasting menu this time. Each dish was superb. The service was excellent from start to finish attentive but not intrusive. The atmosphere is OK (other restaurants have more character) but I'd still make this place a priority if they worked out of a food truck.
