The Story
The Lobby Restaurant began its life in 1968 when Parliamentarians at the old Parliament House (just over the road) decided they needed a place to entertain visiting constituents. The "eating establishment" when it was built turned out to be a first class restaurant called The Lobby. The shocked M.P's had to force the Department of Administrative Services to attach a small cafe so they could buy their long-awaited pies for their constituents. Since then The Lobby has been the scene of countless political intrigues performed over long lunches and even longer dinners. Politicians from all sides are regulars, as are lobbyists, senior public servants, diplomats, business people and journalists. The Lobby Restaurant has been guided to maintain its rightful place as one of Canberra's best establishments.
