Reviews & Notes	"Locale is a highly welcome new eatery. It manages also to negotiate that difficult middle ground by not compromising in enthusiasm, confidence, flavour and respect for food while remaining firmly at the cheery end of cafes – easy to like, relaxed and a very good place to go."

Lilotang

Barton ACT 2600 Japanese - Says The Canberra Times: Josiah Li and his team have shown an unwavering ability to infuse each of their restaurants with a unique character and a sense of cool quirky style. Far from repeating a successful formula, each place is differently themed on its own Asian cuisine and look. Like each before it, Lilotang takes off in its own direction, but this time the move is more casual, looser and less structured.

Gourmet Traveller Guide 2010 - the food is bound to impress

7 October 2009 Ottoman Cuisine by Bryan Martin ... the menu is full of Ottoman's signature dishes, and all have good seasonal produce at heart. The flavoursa of Old Istanbul ring through each dish, the room is pleasant to ride in, service is the usual consistent blend of formal yet welcoming. 16/20. Review n/a online
