Just over the Commonwealth Bridge in buzzing Central Canberra, foodies can find the area’s hotspot for exploring Nepalese cuisine, Origin Nepal restaurant and bar. Visitors to the capital along with loyal returning locals delve into traditional Nepalese fare before a back drop of trendy spotlights, cherry brown wooden floors, navy coloured walls and a charming display of pot plants and ferns. Perhaps kick things off with some Furaula potato fritters, loaded with cabbage, carrot and lentils beside a matching tasty dipping sauce, or sample the Harin Ko Taas - pan fried sliced venison with pressed rice. For a hearty main, opt for the Origin Nepal Chowmein with chicken and seasonal greens, or for something different sample the potato and bamboo soup with black eye beans, greens and noodles.
