About

Tucked away in Yarralumla's quiet shopping strip, Lamshed's transforms a former warehouse space into a sophisticated wine bar where quality ingredients shine in carefully crafted small plates. Chef Jeff Lamshed's experience from the legendary Ottoman days shows in dishes like pressed oxtail and mortadella mousse gnocco fritto, where fine-dining techniques meet casual neighborhood charm. The concise wine list focuses on quality over quantity, while the minimalist interior encourages lingering over afternoon prosecco or intimate dinners. Perfect for those seeking restaurant-quality food in a relaxed setting where you can drop in for a glass and olives or settle in for a full evening of exceptional cooking.
