Overview

If a caramel popcorn sundae with peanut brittle, rich popcorn ice cream and a broken waffle cone sounds right up your alley, then you’ll love eightysix – a vibrant, modern restaurant located in the Canberra inner-city suburb of Braddon.

This eatery was named after the act of crossing off or '86-ing' a dish from the menu when they’ve sold out. Its buzzing atmosphere and sensational food have earned it a reputation as a must-do on the Canberra restaurant circuit.

Rated one hat in the 2017 SMH Good Food Guide.
