On Friday night 6 September you will have the opportunity of dining at your leisure with your Bureaux colleagues and friends. Here are some suggestions of restaurants and cafes to suit all cuisines and budgets. Get a group together and make a booking for about 7.30pm so you can enjoy the Happy Hour drinks at the National Arboretum Canberra before the coaches take you to the eating precincts where the restaurants and cafés we have suggested below are located. We suggest you make a booking to ensure a table is available as Friday night can be busy for eating out.
