Snippet:
One of Canberra’s leading restaurants will serve its last meal on May 30, after owner Louis Couttoupes made the surprise decision to close Onzieme. Although the five-year-old Kingston brasserie and 2025 Sydney Morning Herald Restaurant of the Year nominee was serving some of its best food, Couttoupes says staff turnover made the decision inevitable.
