The Jetty — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

The Jetty is located on the east side of the reconciliation place by Lake Burley Griffin. It is a good place to catch up with friends and family for a bite to eat and a drink, whilst enjoying the view in the sunshine and a little live music in the background.

There are plenty of tables and chairs to sit, both indoors and out. Outside tables have umbrella shades.

The Jetty cafe serves coffee, teas, milkshakes and usual cold drinks from the fridge, to go with the selection of cakes, pastries and protein balls. For those looking for something a tad more substantial, there are focaccias, wraps, frittatas, acai bowls, pies, sausage rolls, spinach and ricotta rolls and more.

There is a Fricken Chicken burger caravan, along with Bentspoke brewery and wine caravan.

It can be busy on warm days, especially over weekends and public holidays. The Jetty can be a good reward stop after a walk around the central part of the lake, commonly known as the bridge to bridge walk.

There is plenty of parking at The National Library, and...

Incredibly unprofessionally run venue. We made a booking for a large group some time ago in the off season, and the operators of the Jetty assured us they would be open for the season on our chosen date.

Received a booking confirmation request a couple of days beforehand, which we confirmed. When we turned up for our booking to find the venue locked up and all the vendors gone for the day, even though we had a booking for 20 people and it was well before their listed closing time. They had not bothered to email us to let us know. Pretty poor showing on their behalf. We took our business elsewhere, and will continue to do...

Hi Bailey, Rena and Team, We just wanted to say a massive thank you to the staff who assisted us on Saturday evening for my wife's 40th birthday celebrations party!

We had an absolutely wonderful time and can't thank you enough for the effortless event we were able to host with the smooth operations from your staff and the vendors.

We have had multiple friends reach out to say it was the most terrific venue (what a vibe!) , the music was amazing (kids were all dancing the night away with a great acoutic show) and the food all absolutely divine! (chicken strips got smashed!, mix of pizzas were delicious!) We cannot thank you enough.

Your staff were all wonderful!! Very friendly, helpful, ready to assist wherever they could and it made for an amazing evening out with...
