Editorial


Aptly named after Lake Burley Griffin, BG Skyline Restaurant has an unspoilt view of the entire lake and its leafy surrounds from its prime position at the top of Rydges Lakeside. BG Skyline Restaurant is renowned for its intimate yet opulent dining room, with tall windows showcasing the lights of Canberra or the sunset behind the Brindabellas. BG Skyline Restaurant is also known for its fantastic seafood, enjoyed a la carte any night of the week, and its famous seafood buffet, available on Friday and Saturday nights. This is best avoided for those inclined to make last minute dining plans as the buffet is often booked out weeks in advance. But on the quieter evenings, BG Skyline Restaurant absolutely sparkles.

That said, the seafood buffet is definitely worth the wait. At $54 the buffet seems a bit pricey, but when you see the vast array of delicacies and delights on offer it's difficult not to pile up your plate. From antipasti and oysters, diners can move on to the fresh nori, sushi or king prawns and then perhaps a spot of Caesar salad made with Tasmanian smoked salmon. The buffet also has a long list of fresh salads and there is an entire section devoted to roast meats and aromatic curries for those who want to experience something from the land. If you have any room left after this fine feast, BG Skyline Restaurant offers plenty of sweeteners to finish your meal, such as berry Pavlova, seasonal fruit, cakes and Australian cheeses. From the patient and informative staff to the wide selection of local wines and the luxurious food, BG Skyline Restaurant delivers it all.

BG's Skyline, no longer offers the buffet, but has gone to a desgustation, and it is so much better

I am also vegetarian... Although I could not eat the meat options I found the extensive pasta menu was fantastic and catered to my dietary needs! I actually watched the chef make the pasta earlier in the day and we ate it that night! I would recommend the spinach and ricotta parcels
