How to celebrate Wattle Day, Father’s Day, and more this weekend

Sunday is also Father’s Day so why not take Dad out to celebrate? One possibility is a Guy-tea experience at Olims Bar & Bistro from noon. This manly twist on high tea will feature favourites such as burger sliders, in-house smoked meats, sausage rolls, onion rings and more. More information and bookings: mercurecanberra.com.au. On Saturday and Sunday, Poachers Pantry is offering a three-course meal that begins with bolognese ravioli and garlic bread, continues with T-bone steak with salt and vinegar fries and spring salad with vinaigrette, and ends with canelé with ginger and butterscotch. See: poacherspantry.com.au. On Sunday, Atrium Restaurant in Pavilion on Northbourne is offering a barbecue buffet lunch from noon to 2pm with sausages, minute steaks, prawn skewers, and chicken tenders, alongside bread rolls and salads. See: eventbrite.com.au. And, of course, if your father has his own favourite cuisine or restaurant, you can take him there. It’s probably best to book ahead, wherever you go – lots of people might have the same idea.
