The Green Herring

One of a kind in Canberra. Owner/manager is great and organises his less than experienced wait staff. Food is always a pleasure and ambience spectacular. Highly recommend.

Best place! Gorgeous warm atmosphere, and food that tastes as amazing as it looks... Each dish a work of art! Would be a super romantic date venue also. If I could rate 10 I would!

This restaurant is by far the best Gungahlin has to offer. Every time I eat here, it is always amazing food and fantastic attentive service. The desserts are a must! Especially the Banana Parfait. Their house made dips and breads are delicious also.

Went to Green Herring on a Friday night. We had a great time, the menu had plenty of good options and the servings were reasonably sized and very tasty. Service was excellent, the waiter was the right amount of attentive, knew the menu inside out and wasn't pushy. It is lovely inside the restaurant, with open fires and a cosy ambience. Would definitely go again.

Loved it!. I've just read one of the amateur food blogger posts about Green Herring, which was quite negative.....and am completely embarrassed for the blogger, as they clearly haven't done their research! Green Herring is a beautiful historic building built in 1860 (it's not a run-down shack as I've seen it described! . The low ceilings and fireplaces are beautiful, and there is a lovely intimate feeling to the two-room restaurant. The wait staff were absolutely fantastic (I didn't see even a slight bit of attitude or abruptness , and I could honestly say this is the best service I've received in Canberra in the last 12 months. I overhead several other tables commending the owner and his wait staff on their attentive service.<br/ <br/ The food was absolutely beautiful, and if anything the portion sizes were a little overgenerous. So you absolutely get value for what you are paying for. The complimentary chocolates at the end of the night were a lovely touch. We will definitely be returning, thank you for a lovely evening.
