Floriade, Sip, Share & Savour

Spring is on the menu at First Edition Canberra with Floriade, Sip, Share & Savour, our limited-time dining experience proudly supporting Floriade About Town. Inspired by the Floriade 2026 theme, Feast of Flowers, the menu celebrates seasonal colour, shared plates and the simple pleasure of gathering around the table.

Located on Level One of Novotel Canberra, First Edition Canberra makes it easy to add a little more flavour to your Floriade day. Wander through the blooms at Commonwealth Park, then make your way back into the city for a drink, a shared bite or dessert.
