Following these were a raft of shout outs with two recommendations including Kingston’s An Nguyen Vegan (perhaps for obvious reasons), the City’s Fish Shack (apparently their milkshakes are amazing—not the first time we’ve heard this), Braddon’s Assembly (can attest that their breakfast sides are excellent), the City’s RAKU (delicious, always), Braddon’s Gather (so many dishes can be made vegan!), the City’s Nosh (with a build-your-own-bowl, anything goes), Kingston’s Local Press (hello, breakfast cobbler!) and The Boat House, who got a special shout out for their exceptional vegan/vegetarian wedding food, so there you go!

Open from morning til night (well wee hours of the morning actually,) for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Assembly offers not just a choice of meals but a choice of seating for pups and their people; on the front covered veranda or the beer garden out the back.

We stumbled across Assembly after being turned away from several other establishments due to my laissez-faire attitude to Canberra dining. The only table they could give us was outside (but under heating) and on bar stools, which isn’t the ideal toddler seat, but I wedged her in between my chair and the railing and she was fine.
