Where to eat

Unlike in many parts of Canberra where you can get a different range, the range in Tuggeranong is pretty much similar to what the range you can expect to find in a normal regional New South Wales city – both in terms of the range of food, and the price range (which is usually about ≈$15-20). Unusually though, there are many Turkish eateries, and so you can never be short of pide!
