Ritual Cafe sits at the bottom of the Little National Hotel on National Circuit in Barton, in Canberra's inner south near the parliamentary precinct. With 156 reviews behind its 4.4 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is a quality cafe with a loyal following — somewhere to settle in for a great coffee, breakfast, brunch or a bite and a catch-up, popular with the nearby offices and locals alike. Its Barton location, close to the parliamentary precinct and Kingston, makes it an easy and convenient stop.
