Rubicon

It's a culinary experience. Every dish is carefully crafted with utmost attention to detail. I don't think I have ever had food this good before. It's a five star dining experience and great service by our waiter, Fred. The Japanese oysters are to die for and the duck rillette was absolutely amazing. This is a must visit place for a great dinner in Canberra.

Have been to Rubicon many times for it's a family favourite. The atmosphere is always lovely and its nice and welcoming inside and the staff are always friendly and the food/drinks are always great. Giving 3 stars because the menu has really stayed the same for years, and as a vegetarian there is only one main meal (gnocci) and a couple of entrees I can have. Menu could really use an update for those who come regularly and it would be great to see more vegetarian options on the menu in future.

Simply put, Rubicon is outstanding. The wait staff and sommelier are great and the food is sensational. We had the "design your own" 6 course degustation with paired wine and each dish was perfect. My favourite was the gruyere souffle, which is definitely a fluffy cheesy cloud of goodness, while the Pernod cured salmon was delicately balanced and amazing.

A classic fine dining experience. A warm restaurant with very attentive service. We had the 5 course degustation. My favourite courses were the zucchini flowers, the blue eyed cod and the duck with mushrooms - the mushrooms were so delicious and well cooked. Very full at the end of the 5 courses could not fit in dessert! Would definetely come again and would recommend anyone to try. A must try for the foodies of Canberra!

Another wonderful night at Rubicon, Jeff looked after us and had lot's of laughs as always. Beautiful food and congratulations to the lovely family who received terrific news of twins joining their family. Thank you for shouting all our section with a drink to celebrate. This is truely the best restaurant in Canberra in every way. Cheers Sandy and Ian

Excited to come here with my in-laws and husband for his birthday. We were all very disappointed with the service by our waiter Vincent. His attitude and demeanour made us all uncomfortable and marred the experience of what should have been a special meal. At times we felt like he was basically throwing our plates onto the table. We are from Sydney but often in Canberra and always look forward to the amazing service we find in Canberra restaurants. This was a disappointing experience not in line with our experience at other restaurants here.

My guests were looking forward to a couple of dishes ( souffle and confit of duck)advertised on the website but were not available that night. However, one of the replacement mains ie duck breast was lovely.. The entrees were ok, and the steak and fish mains were nice. However, dessert i.e. chocolate mousse cake was ordinary and the roasted plum cheesecake was disappointing.The service was excellent.
