We serve food and drinks on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people, whose land and sovereignty was never ceded.
We acknowledge these Traditional Custodians and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, of the lands on which we work and live.
We (Mal, Dash and Ross) opened Pilot in 2018 with a goal to create a welcoming space with authentic hospitality.
Hosting a 24 seat dining room and small outdoor area we are located at the back of the local shops in Ainslie, Canberra.
The menus created by Malcolm Hanslow and Syed Rashid are inspired by our experiences, the people we have met and worked with and nostalgic dishes from times past.
Most of all it is about our love for food, fun and great hospitality.
Pilot is a restaurant that is truly us.
