Chairman and Yip Canberra

Chairman and Yip sits at 1/1 Burbury Cl. It is a twenty-minute walk from Parliament House and the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.

The menu leans into South East Asian fusion, a style that feels more focused here than at the chaotic, casual stalls typically found near the National Gallery of Australia. While the room runs smart and elegant, the kitchen prioritizes depth of flavour over the performative presentation often expected in this category. It succeeds because it ignores the heavy-handed formalities common in the capital’s high-end dining scene, offering a relaxed pace that suits the surrounding area’s quiet profile. You come here when you want serious cooking without the performance.
