LOCAL RESTAURANTS RED CHILLI SICHUAN RESTAURANT The best Sichuan Cuisine in Canberra! The Canberra Red Chilli is a part of the group that has been feeding people in Brisbane and Sydney for years. The ‘‘chain’’ restaurant is usually bad news for the eater, but in this case the place seems to have a personality of its own, and most importantly good food at decent prices. As soon as you walk in Red Chilli’s Alinga Street front door, you get a good idea of what your in for. Great smells fill the place. Tables are glass topped, giving a clear view of the lacquered traditional tables and chairs beneath - and the whole place has a shiny, Chinese look, with most of the fittings imported to create an authentic environment. This is no Westernised Chinese. Little ‘‘Asian fusion’’ is going on here either, with the dishes all hailing from the great southwestern Chinese region of Sichuan, distinguished by its use of chilli and the tongue numbing Sichuan peppercorn. The staff are friendly and attentive, and answer questions as well as they can. 75-89 Alinga Street Novotel Building, Canberra Phone: 02 6248 6288
