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.
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.
Dinner. We went to The Green Herring with another couple, and despite the deliberately run-down looking exterior it's quite nice inside, and feels very intimate. The food itself was pretty good, with the desserts being a bit of a highlight while the entrees on the day were a little unprepossessing. I would go again.
Fabulous 3 course meal at a reasonable price for the quality of the meal (which wap 5 stars in itself) and personal service.
The restaurant is in a mud hut built in Bookham NSW back in 1860. It wap moved to its current location in 1970. Being in such a building the atmosphere is to die for. Although the building is well over 100 years old there is accessible entry. If the restaurant is advised special accessibility is required at booking, a table with additional space will be reserved.
The Green Herring has been operating in the building for approximately 20 years and under current management for the past 10.
All in all 10 out of 10.
Christmas in July dinner was excellent. Entree, main and dessert plus bread roll and coffee for $65. There was a choice of 3 fantastic dishes each course. Service was the usual high standard and the atmosphere was cozy and festive. I have always enjoyed eating here no matter what time of the year.
We love going to the Green Herring - we're always looked after by Max and Michelle with friendly service and exceptional food. It's lovely to explore the seasonal menus and the Winemaker's Dinners are not to be missed. Thank you, Max, for always making us feel welcome and comfortable each time we visit.
Great, gourmet meals at fairly standard Canberra prices. The restaurant is beautiful and interesting, and you really feel like you have stepped back in time when you enter the cottage! Service was friendly and all meals came quickly without feeling rushed.
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!
Something a bit different to the usual Canberra Restaurant. The food is not always to my tastes but the guys are always willing to come up with something if necessary.
The food is always well presented and tasty. Service is attentive and helpful with out asking you if everything is ok every 5 minutes.
The restaurant is situated in a 'historic' homestead, meaning the ceiling is low (taller folks will need to duck when exiting the back door), heating is via an open fire and cooling is via Fans and a wall mounted AC, not always the greatest but adds to the charm :-)
Price is on par with most other local restaurants, cheaper than Poachers Pantry, about the same as La Scala, so reasonable.
I recommend you give them a try.
