Bunda Street has entered an exciting new chapter, with a new wave of new openings, relocations and fresh dining concepts.
New additions include 7 Cutz Steakhouse, a bold new steakhouse focused on expertly prepared cuts and refined modern dining, while local favourite Kinn Thai has relocated to a new larger space next to INKA.
Hunter & Barrel has also opened at Scott’s Crossing opposite CBD Dumpling House, bringing its signature fire-drive cooking style to the city, while 38 Katsu is now serving premium Japanese – style katsu next to Betty’s Burgers.
Lastly, new concepts Curiosa Wine Bar, an intimate Italian-inspired wine bar around share plates and curated wines, and Stacks Sandwich Co., offering elevated sandwiches and casual grab-and-go options, round out the evolving mix of experiences across the precinct.
Coming Soon
The former Kinn Thai site has been split into two offerings. The first will soon be home to Bocca by Frankie B's, a family-style Italian concept centred around generous, share-friendly meals served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The second is now home to Yo-Bar, a vibrant frozen yoghurt concept offering customisable desserts and a fun, casual destination for something sweet.
Adding to the transformation, Oh My Papa will introduce a multi-level venue spanning two floors, complete with a rooftop bar. Set to deliver a high-energy mix of drinks, dining and late-night atmosphere, the new venue will bring an exciting day-to-night offering to Bunda Street.
These changes reflect Canberra Centre’s ongoing investment in its dining precinct, bringing together premium new venues and refreshed favourites to deliver a more diverse and elevated food experience in the heart of the city.
