Inspired by loq's pubs/clubs thread. I can't add much, since I pretty much just eat at Oriental Kitchen, but I'm sure someone else can fill this in for me .
ASIAN
Oriental Kitchen - Garema Place Civic
Nice asian restaurant in Garema Pl. They sell everything from Chinese dishes to laksas. Not cheap, but not too expensive either (a laksa costs $12). A good place to eat if you're hungry but just can't be bothered to cook.
Imperial Court - Just off campus, behind the Jolimont Centre
Small Yum Cha place, they wheel a few trolleys of stuff around and also have a menu that you can order from. The only Yum Cha restaurant that I know of that actually has service. They put a little too much chilli on their chicken feet though. Youch
New Shanghai Restaurant - Dickson, 15min walk from Fenner
Large Yum Cha place, reminds me of a few of the Sydney restaurants, specifically Dragon Star Seafood (the one on top of Market City) in all of its craptasticness. I went during peak hour for Saturday lunch and there wasn't much variety, what little food there was wasn't very good and they watered down their beer. NOBODY WATERS DOWN MY BEER. We didn't have to wait too long to get a seat though.
ITALIAN
That pizza place next to Electric Shadows, just down from Garema Pl
I can't remember it's name but they serve MASSIVE, reasonably priced gourmet pizzas. 1 large pizza for $25 feeds two.
COFFEE
Milk & Honey/Essen/Guss's - Garema Place Civic
Eh, coffee. These three cafes are mashed together and are open till quite late. Later than any other cafes I know of anyway. A good place to meet friends, particularly if you have friends who haven't had the decency to turn 18. Often filled with people from college. Also filled with smelly hippies, who may or may not be from college.
Gods Cafe - Union Court
The best coffee at the ANU. Though like anything on campus, it isn't cheap.
