My 2001 Thanksgiving dinner was at Rincon Latino, a little Peruvian/Latin American restaurant tucked away in the City area of Canberra. I had a tender and tasty pork roast with vegetables. My dessert was a serving that resembled some sort of prune jelly, apparently a Peruvian specialty although I had not encountered it in any restaurants in Peru. It was slightly sweet and was served with cream, good but not earthshaking.

Our outdoor cafe seats were great for relaxing and people-watching after a long all-day drive from Phillip Island. Our waiter was attentive and was helpful in explaining the various dishes to us. It has been said that Canberra has one of the best dining scenes in Australia. Rincon Latino may not be the most memorable restaurant in the city, but it is a good choice if you want something that is uncommon in Australia.
