Wood-fired pizza, rosé on tap and house-made gelato are just some of the charms of this cool, millennial-pink bistro, set in the ground floor of East Hotel. Holidaying families rub shoulders with Canberra's glitterati along the plush, window seating; for a real show, however, request a seat at the bar with a view of the pizza oven. Reservations recommended.
