It may be International Creme Brulee Day today, though I can't resist it cousin of the Creme Caramel with black pepper tuile.

Come and say hello to us and try our award winning Smoked chicken with Black Truffle.

Our restaurant is on a break though our factory is always producing fresh produce.

Done a few gigs at the Glasshouse. Incredibly attentive staff, the manager Lee in particular. He made sure I had everything I needed for the events to run smoothly. Would definitely recommend this venue.

Poachers Pantry is a wonderful venue to eat and relax. The food is is of a very high standard. The staff are extremely polite and professional.

Absolutely amazing breakfast! One of the best affogatos I have had!! A must do for anyone in the area.

Lovely hidden spot nestled away from the highway yet close enough that it's not a hassle to get to.

Beautiful location any time of year, with lovely gardens and good service.
The food is fantastic with delicate and delicious flavours - this is very much the centrepiece of any visit here. Drinks are tasty a healthy selection on tap.

The downside, however is that the price is high. Not unreasonably so, but you are having a meal at a homestead/winery location choice food and drink.

Love this place. We have been going to Poachers for years, we even chose the place to get married. After their recent renovation, the place still has the wonderful, country feel but kept its original charm and character. If you are visiting Canberra you should go and spoil yourself, if you live in Canberra you should go regularly to spoil yourself. Love, love.

Fantastic food, lovely wine. One of my favourite meals ever!

Eating here on a sunny weekend is a joy, however I visited for lunch midweek and was disappointed. Only share plates are available on weekdays and everything on the plate I ordered was direct from a packet. I could recreate the same thing from the deli section of Coles. Also killing the mood somewhat was the temperature - the room was ice cold! It was 5c outside and even with the heater on, the glass walls make it the restaurant freezing. Maybe some double glazing in time for next winter?

What can I say, sensational food, great service, would recommend to anyone in canberra looking for a good fit slightly different dining experience

Food is great, we had the smoked duck. Not sure what was happening on the weekend though, we waited about 45 mins for the food to arrive.

Lovely place to eat and drink, the duck ravioli was amazing and the cheese platter fantastic. Make it a half day adventure in the region and you won't be disappointed.

Stellar food. Can't wait to justify coming back.
Service was a touch slow early on, but they were hectic getting ready for lunch service.

Excellent smoked meats cheese and wine. Beautiful location view and decor. Looks to be an amazing wedding venue. Love the country vibe.
