Mietta's Review
This is a stunning place on a sunny day as the fog sculpture rolls across the little lake and into the restaurant which is located right in the middle of the National Gallery's sculputure gardens. Now operated by Trippas White Catering the excellent food now leans firmly towards France.

Cafe in the House (02) 6270 8156, Old Parliament House, King George Tce, Parkes - The art-deco elegance of the architecture and interiors of Old Parliament House are worth a visit. The cafe and bar are what was the non members canteen

Mega Bites Cafe (02) 6270 2913, Questacon Science & Technology Centre, King Edward Tce, Parkes - The food is fair and the scene vibrant, matching the techno-architecture as much as the Parliamentary Zone permits.
