Fantastic decor; lovely, professional staff; great meal; fab music. My friend had a burger and I had the seafood pasta. Very different meals. Both of us loved them. I asked that the pasta sauce not be too heavy. The waiter said he'd ask the chef to make it a lighter sauce. It was perfect amount and they didn't scrimp on the seafood like a lot of joints do and there was no cheese on the seafood pasta (which you must not do!). My friend said the sauce on his beef burger was bespoke and excellent. Lovely place. Don't hesitate.
Held our 50th birthday party at the Parlour room and it was fabulous .. Abby, the event organizer was a pleasure to work with and nothing I asked was ever too much..
the staff on the night were friendly and fabulous and the food was delicious .. I would highly recommend booking out the parlour room for your special occasion celebrations..

What a fun little place. We went here twice, once for a quick lunch on a Saturday and later that evening for drinks.
It’s a very quaint setting like and old time parlour (after the name) with fancy couches and low tables. Many outside tables for then the weather is better.
I went for lunch and they have a lunch deal on where you can have food and a cheap drink ($2 house wine or $4 schooner of beer.) I first went in and the very lovely front of house manager told me all the tables were taken but please take a seat at this lovely couch behind the curtains. Very nice. After some confusion about glass sizes (I’m from Victoria, this is ACT) I got my beer. Ordered the seafood bisque. It was quite a generous serve with some seafood including some lobster / bug (although admittedly the picture on the board showed lots more!). The taste was excellent, quite tangy. The beer was good too.
We came back later in the evening. The place has transformed into very busy night spot! We still managed to get a table and they do table service. Their selection of cocktails was excellent. The whisky choices was a little limited and the wine list was very long! The waiter / bartender was great fun!
Best of all I could walk here from the hotel Ovolo Nishi. A great find and would recommend it!
Great vibe, nice decor. Lovely staff who enjoy what they are doing. The croquettes were crispy on the outside and fluffy and full of flavour on the inside. The G&T’s were massive and served with a nice sprig of rosemary.
Great place we went in a group of 12 and the food was really great. A beautiful bisque pork belly and an amazing goat cheese custard. Great feel.
I love the ambience of Parlour Wine Room, semi-darkness with heavy wooden furniture has a cozy feel. Service is good, friendly and attentive. However, their food is just OK. Entree prawns and my main of Gnochi were average. Croquettes and pork belly buns were very tasty tho. A mixed experience, overall.
Enjoyed the 2 for 1 tapas special. Full of flavour and like the ambiance of this place. Can take kids there for early dinner but evenings are usually bustling with adults having a drink or two.
One of the good things about movies at Palace (other than the general lack of kids, teenagers, crowds etc.) is the food options. I had a great meal at A. Baker once and Mocan & Green Grout is still on my list. I'd heard that Parlour was a very nice tapas place but the servings were tiny and expensive. Despite this I somehow ended up here before watching a Friday night movie.

When we got to Parlour, the first question my colleague asked me was 'did you order the burger?' I've got a bit of a reputation for always picking the burger, but in this case it was completely justified. Whilst not part of the $16 lunch specials (a meal and glass of wine/beer included), the Parlour Burger was excellent value for $18, served with shoestring fries in the cutest little pot. The burger itself was very tasty, with the patty cooked to be just a touch pink (perfect), and a
Parlour Wine Room has introduced high tea on weekends for $45 per person. High tea is available on Saturday (morning and afternoon sessions) and Sunday (11am session only). A glass of sparkling wine is included in the price as well as tea and coffee. Since I don’t drink, I asked if I could swap the sparkling wine with something else. Staff were happy to oblige and brought out a mojito mocktail for me. I was asked whether I would like some tea and our waitress was able to rattle off all the teas they had. I chose the Red Apple tea and a huge teapot came out a few minutes later.
Great tapas bar in the New Acton precinct. I went there for a friend's birthday drinks. We ordered the calamari, lamb and croquettes from the tapas menu. They were excellent. Staff were efficient.
I never actually ate here but looking across at it from A Baker people were having a pretty sweet looking dessert. 4/5 would look at dessert again.
A sophisticated restaurant with french style indoor decor, a central bar with seating and a more casual outdoor dining area. There are a few cozy nooks for enjoying a drink with friends and tasteful background music does not drown out the conversation. Overall a very pleasant ambiance and equally pleasant staff. The menu is modern cuisine with ‘share plate’ dishes recommended. We particularly enjoyed the main chicken and barramundi dishes. You might need to ask for serving utensils for shared plates. They have a good selection of wines and cocktails that are a little pricey so be aware. 4.5+⭐️
Very sophisticated little place for a quiet drink and some very tasty bar snacks. Great range of beer, wines and cocktails, served by very charming and competent staff. Great decor and music (if a little loud!).
Parlour is in a great location, close to the Ovolo Nisha and with heaps of parking.
After two years of COVID postponements and cancellations of our destination wedding, we decided to stay local and booked Parlour to celebrate instead. We are so glad we made this decision. Abby and her team were fantastic! The food was spot on, and nothing was too much trouble. All guests with food allergies were catered for and all kids had special meals. Staff on the evening were very attentive, helpful and super friendly.
Delicious food, charming interior and awesome cocktails. We walked in without a booking and the staff were very accomodating to give us a lovely table on the patio. Service was great, will be back!
Thank you Parlour Canberra, Ben the manager and all the amazing staff for creating such a beautiful wedding for our daughter.
From the pre ceremony preparations to the reception function, the whole day was perfectly faultless. I would highly recommend this venue.
Good food, service and great cocktails. Been twice lately 5 x better now than it was a few months ago. New food is different but in a good way.
Perfect for date night or catching up with friends. Nice wine list and well mixed cocktails. The seasonal menu hits just the right spot and has great vegetarian options.
