Wilma

A two-level restaurant with plenty of glitz, Wilma is a modern (mostly) Chinese spot plating up dishes from the wok, grill and offset smoker seven days a week. A great option for a shared meal with friends and family, Wilma's menu offers Peking duck rotis, tiger prawn toast with Davidson plum sweet and sour, hot-smoked char siu pork belly with peanuts and chilli and glossy Balmain bug egg noodles. There's a great value set menu for $69pp, and fun cocktails and mocktails inspired by every corner of Asia.

Home to one of the most exciting foodie collaborations to reach Canberra, WILMA is a progressive Asian barbeque restaurant using rich Australian ingredients to create a crowd-pleasing menu. Think chilli salt squid, tiger prawn toast, truffle and egg fried rice and scallops with egg noodles, chilli and coriander. Of course, the big winner is their barbecue; they’ve got everything from a pork cutlet with peanut chilli crunch to wood-grilled wagyu and zucchini with whipped tofu.

A delectable express lunch banquet is available, with dishes such as smoked kingfish sashimi and banana blossom salad. They also have an extensive dinner menu if you're looking for a place to eat after exploring Canberra.

A self-described “progressive Asian BBQ restaurant” Wilma needn’t stop there. With a mix of plush booths, long dining tables for groups and bar side seating – each aglow with the restaurant’s moody take on lighting – it can also lay claim to being one of the sultriest dining spaces in Canberra.

A team of chefs harness fire and smoke to bring Wilma’s progressive pan-Asian dishes to life. Native Australian ingredients figure heavily, and are executed thoughtfully across a menu of raw, wok-fried and barbequed hits inspired by Southeast Asia and coastal China.

Getting around to all the major attractions in Canberra can be a lot as there are so many great things to see and do in Canberra. But you gotta eat, right?. We recommend heading to Wilma, a magical spot for a few cocktails and a feed in the heart of Canberra’s CBD.
