It was truly an amazing experience dining in Lanterne Rooms. Despite the fact that the place was full with diners, there was still a sense of intimacy and warmth. It's easy to feel at ease here- at least that's how the waiter made us feel. Food wise, we were blown away with every dish that was presented to us. A... More

This restaurant may be in the middle of some local shops but the experience certainly out weighs that..duck rolls were great to start with, not too heavy and to follow that up with the prawns was Devine..I will be back to just have 4 serves of the prawns...amazing

These guys do a really good job. Imaginative and cutting edge Asian fusion dishes. Reminiscent of Malaysian cuisine, but every dish has a new twist. Really loved all of the flavours. There is a choice of banquet or a la carte. We picked the latter because of particular dishes we wanted and were very satisfied with everything we chose. BYO... More

The banquet dishes had great flavours, the setting is low key and intimate. Small sizes, but worth it.

Went here for dinner based on a recommendation from a friend. The food is the only thing that saved it from scoring as terrible as the service we experienced here was exactly that..terrible. I would not go back and would go out of my way to actively discourage others from dining there.

Ate here on a Saturday night visiting Canberra from Sydney. Booked it based on TA reviews and I was so glad we did. Seriously this is as good as it gets. Four of us dined, table was ready when we arrived, service was first class plus. We chose the banquet and each and every dish was superb. Waiter explained each... More

Had a great meal here, food is fine and beautifully cooked. Always a wonderful experience. We should have got more dishes as the dishes are quite small, and we polished them all off.

Gourmet food with a fusion twist, very good wine, nice atmosphere, friendly but not too intrusive staff. We tend to go there when we want to have a very nice dinner. The "tasting menu" is fantastic and it changes according to the season. Last time we went there, the chef was working on another dessert to be added to the... More
