The coffee is great- it's so convenient to get them from the window. I also like to dine in because the layout of the restaurant allows tables to relax and talk. Every meal I've eaten has been delicious. And I love that it's opposite a playground so the kids can play within sight.
Wonderful layout, cheerful front staff, reasonable prices and great choices.
Brilliant, differently coming again.
Thank you for starting my day off with smiles and joy �
Best coffee in Canberra. And they open at 7am for takeaways. Such a hidden gem here in Belconnen. Great food too. Thanks guys, you do a great job!!
The number one place to eat out or get a coffee in Canberra. Lovely, friendly staff, happy to communicate and chat but also efficient and smooth service. Their chefs are top notch and their waiters show brilliant enthusiasm about the food, which is just fantastic to see. Can't wait to go back again!
I was there with Sonia Garland Jai Garland and Rhiannon and family for Sunday breakfast. The food orange juice and coffee was fantastic.
It's the mark of the quality of an employer and a member of the community that he refuses to add a surcharge to his menu prices! And the food is still excellent. How does the chef make muesli so tasty??Thank you Chris and staff. Have a restful Easter. You guys deserve it.
Simply great food and great service. Can't ask more.
I have been going to Rocksalt for year and have always enjoyed myself and keep heading back ;)
The combination of the food, the very friendly service and the setting make it a very special place in Canberra for me.
Rocksalt is our favourite breakfast place in Canberra. Great coffee, good food, kid friendly and there is a playground outside too! Staff are always very attentive and friendly.
Lunch today was awesome! Confit of Duck, seared scallops, carrots with walnut and blue cheese, kids fish and chips, beautiful coffee, plenty of GF options. A wonderful unexpected pleasure!
My mother in law and sister in law were after a fancier, child friendly restaurant. Those things don't tend to come hand in hand, but after looking at some online reviews, Rocksalt was recommended several times.
The food was delicious and looked fantastic, the drinks were perfect, and the staff were wonderful with our 1 and 5 year old.
To top it off, there is a playground next to the restaurant, where my five year old could play happily in full view.
Really good, and will definitely be eating there, and taking visiting family there again, Thank you! :)
I had a great dinner excellent meal
Wonderful food. Wonderful people. I go there 4 to 5 times a week. Nice place to go to relieve the boredom .
Excellent food. Great gluten free options!
Over the two decades or so that Rocksalt has been at Hawker it has transformed from a fine dining evening restaurant to an all day modern Australian cafe/restaurant. It has a nice outdoor area under a pergola in the Hawker "village square" which works well for much of the year. The indoor seating provides a cosy alternative in winter but is a bit dark and lacks any distinct character. Like many places the breakfast menu is the best offering but is not available at lunch time except on Sundays. Fortunately my most recent visit was on a Sunday. The quality of the food has varied over the years as owners and chefs changed. It did go down a couple of years ago but the current team seems to be trying hard and it is much improved. The Adore coffee is well made and consistently good, but not quite in the really top bracket.
Coffee is great and possibly the best Eggs Benedict in Canberra!
Great atmosphere, food, coffee and service. Great restaurant!
A good come back. Rocksalt at Hawker was one of the top restaurants in Canberra almost 10 years ago and since the change in ownership and head chef, it has gone down hill. It has again changed ownership and head chef probably last 1-2 years and customers seem to have returned.
It was 80% full on a Saturday night in a very quiet suburb which wasn't a bad effort. What really surprised us is the generosity of the serving without compromise in quality. I was almost full after a big garlic bread and a big serve of beautifully deep fried zucchini flowers. Luckily I ordered a light nicely cooked fish of the day for main.
The decoration was modern and service was fine.
Although the food still wasn't as delicate as what it was 10 years ago, it still has potential to become one of the top restaurants.
Great place for breakfast. Had the flamencos (baked eggs+Chirizo) it was fantastic. Definetly try this hidden gem.
Went there for dinner (finally!) Kangaroo with beet root relish is a win!
I have never had a bad breakfast or coffee from rocksalt. I have a fair few allergies and they are always more than happy to accommodate. Double thumbs up!
I have always had a good meal here. Now offers takeaway coffee on weekends.
Lambs brains. The lambs brains at Rocksalt are lovely. Not too fatty and not too try. The crumbed outside is just right.
It would be nice with a white sauce, but the crispy bacon and nuts is just fine.
Fabulous breakfast at Rocksalt. I had the chance to experience breakfast at Rocksalt last month and I have to say it was fabulous. Great selection to choose from for breakfast with all the usual favourites plus a few extra special dishes - I chose the pesto, mushroom and bocconcini melt which was to die for (see picture). The coffee was great, and the service fantastic.
This place amazes me everytime I visit. Service and food is fantastic, with great variety and don't forget to try the desserts cause they don't fail to please. I'm still chasing a pistachio creme brûlée that tastes as good. Will definitely be back.
We'd been to Rocksalt in Hawker a few times for dinner in the past, but only recently heard that they'd started serving breakfast. Sooooo ... today we jumped on the treadlies, rode the 9.7km each way to Hawker, and sampled Rocksalt's new brekkie menu!

Omlette with crisp spec, oven dried tomato, Persian fetta and Spanish onion ($14.00) Delicious with a nice combination of flavours that really compliment each other and I really like how the bread was thick and fluffy. Corn and shallot pancake with bacon, avocado and dill aoili ($15.00) with an extra side of hash browns (additional cost) All my favourite foods combined together to create a wonderful unique brunch
Consistently good meals and service. A regular favourite ‘go to’ cafe for catch up with family and friends. Both indoor and outdoor seating and pet friendly for outdoor dining.
Great local venue and a nice place for breakfast or lunch. Recommend the fritters or hot cakes. Can get busy at times so allow for that.
We just had lunch at Rocksalt. I had the Steak Sandwich and my husband had the pulled pork enchilada. The steak Sandwich was great. The steak was thick, well cooked and easy to eat. My husband said his Enchilada was lovely as well. Wait staff were lovely. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. Will go there again
Really nice coffee and delicious food. The takeaway menu is fantastic value (thank you for that it's a blessing) and the dine in menu is excellent too.
I've lived in Hawker for a few years now and a number of the front of house staff have been there all this time which has to mean it's a great place to work.
If you're in the area and this isn't your local - it should be!
Had a beaut breakfast here today. Field mushrooms, had a side of bacon. Coffee was great and really good service.
This Amazing Cafe have the nicest staff and the food is divine I will definitely be back.
Thank you for an Amazing experience I'll be sure to let everyone know where to eat whilst in Canberra.
