Pie Day - Canberra

I have had better pies in the past, but this restaurant offers an interesting selection. The beef and thyme sausage roll, on the other hand, was a game changer. I never knew a simple sausage roll could be so delicious!

The service at this restaurant is exceptional, with friendly staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. In particular, young Zac stood out for his genuinely sweet demeanor and welcoming smile. I felt like I made a friend during my visit, and Zac's hospitality made my last morning in Canberra a joy. I had the best pie of my life and enjoyed a pleasant chat with Zac. I wish I could bring that food truck to Sydney, as I would visit at least once a day. It's a shame that the best finds are often not in our own hometowns.

To be fair I've had better pies before but there is an interesting selection. The beef and thyme sausage roll on the hand was a game changer - I never realised that a humble sausage roll could be so tasty!

Set amongst a selection of food vans in this Street Feast place called the Hamlet at 16 Lonsdale St, corner of Elouera St, Braddon in Canberra. They have a gourmet selection of all pies to die for, $6 for a pie alone & around $11-$12 for a pie with a selection of trimmings from salad to floating pea & mash & gravy. You cannot visit Canberra without stopping by here, you would be denying yourself a true foodie experience. You can see how good the pastry is, the base is solid & gently crisp, omg I want one now! These pies are made off site & delivered fresh every day around 10:30-11 a.m. As for the service, to me it was so much more than service with a smile, I felt I made a friend. Young Zac that works there is the most genuinely sweet young guy that welcomes you with a huge happy smile. Thank you Zac for making my last morning in Canberra so happy. I had the best pie of my life & a happy chat with you. I just wish I could move you & that food truck up to Sydney, I'd be there at least once a day. Oh why are the best found things not in our own home towns?

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever visited! We were seated at the bar and watched the professionals at work. The food and service were both superb.
