PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Peppered Prawn is very upfront about its specialty – seafood, if you haven’t guessed. With a prime location, ample outdoor seating (with heaters for the chillier days) and a sleek interior, Peppered Prawn is rather refreshing. After a hard day’s shopping, or after work on a Friday, what better place to relax than in the comfy and modern Peppered Prawn? Lunch is perfect outdoors, while sitting inside gives you a good view of all the magic happening in the kitchen. Powerful scents and alluring aromas waft out to tempt those still reading their menus, and tantalise those who have already ordered.

Peppered Prawn offers set menus for large groups or functions comprising excellent quality and value-for-money. However, the a la carte menu is especially pleasing. The express seafood lunch for two brings a little beachside diner to sea-starved Canberra: an ample selection of light and crispy battered flathead, calamari rings and tiger prawns, served with chunky hand-cut fries, salad and little pots of fresh-made tartare. They also have what could be Canberra’s only oyster bar, sourcing exclusively Coffin Bay and Sydney Rock oysters (depending on availability and quality). As an au naturale man myself, I was nonetheless tempted by Peppered Prawn’s signature French-style oysters with creamy tarragon butter and grilled mozzarella cheese. Peppered Prawn also has some classic “surf’n’turf” and some great meals for sharing.

My boyfriend and I went to peppered prawn for our anniversary, we weren't too worried about the cost so if you are then I wouldn't recommend it as it is a bit expensive... the dishes were worth it though however I would have liked some more fish options other than just seafood as I was craving fish but there was only one dish with it (the rest were mix of other seafoods). However, what I ended up having was excellent and I have recommended it to heaps of other people. review 10/11/2011

Just came back to Canberra after working in Sydney. Dined at Peppered Prawn with some friends on Wednesday, All of us were impressed with the freshness and quality of the seafood. Compared to Sydney prices were very reasonable. Love the decor and the open kitchen. Will be back. review 01/11/2007

Overpriced for what you get (IF you can get it) and under-delivered as far as service was concerned. For the prices being charged, you'd expect everything on the "regular" menu to be available. Two of three people dining had to select a different main because they'd "run out" but we were only told after the orders were taken. Restaurants should tell their patrons what ISN'T available when they're telling them the specials, taking the drinks/bread orders, etc rather than leave it to later to disappoint patrons. With a $10 per bottle corkage charge, it make a rather ordinary evening even more expensive. review 18/10/2007
