Water's Edge Canberra

Water's Edge occupies one of Canberra's most beautifully positioned dining rooms — on the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, facing the National Gallery and the water, with views that encompass the capital's deliberate civic grandeur. The one-hat kitchen produces Modern Australian cooking of genuine accomplishment, using seasonal produce with the confidence that comes from a team that has spent years working out what grows well in the Canberra region.

The menu reflects the cool-climate character of the territory: dishes that favour precision and freshness over tropical abundance, seafood flown in from the NSW and Victorian coasts, Canberra district wines matched with intelligence. The lake view and the National Gallery backdrop make every dinner feel more significant than the room's understated decoration might suggest.

For client entertaining in Canberra — particularly with government or diplomatic guests who need to see the city at its best — Water's Edge provides the combination of kitchen quality, setting and professional service that the occasion demands.

The lake view, National Gallery backdrop and one-hat kitchen make Water's Edge the natural client entertaining venue in Canberra — the setting communicates that you know the city well enough to bring visitors here.
