Fick Brewing | Northgate

Fick Brewing Craft Beer Brisbane Review
European street food and Belgium beer aren’t normally associated with Brisbane’s industrial suburb of Northgate, but thanks to the opening of Fick Brewing, Northgate may just be the new Neudorf Valley. 

With brewing taking place onsite in the sheltered beer garden, Fick is small enough to bring experimental beers to life, but big enough to draw a steady crew of office lunch-seekers and weekend locals. A games and toys section also ensures that kids, both young and old, have activities to carry them through the afternoon. 

So how did a piece of Brussels end up in Brisbane’s inner-north?

Brisbane onehome coffee buy coffee tiago cruz mateus cruz
Working as a civil engineer in Brazil seems a far cry from distributing coffee in Brisbane. Tiago Cruz agrees, taking a chance not only at a whole new country, but at a whole new lifestyle.

OneHome Coffee is the brainchild of Brazilian-born Tiago and his brother Mateus, who both saw an opportunity to break into the home-delivered coffee scene in Australia. An opportunity that not even Covid-19 could stop.

How did this idea launch from dream pipe to reality in not only a brand new country, but at an unusual point in history?

Crock Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker Review

crock pot express multi cooker recipe review
For someone who enjoys creating things in the kitchen, I don’t have an array of fancy gadgets. Three pots, a couple of fry pans and a whisk seems to have done me fine so far. 

When I had the chance to review the new multi-cooker from Crockpot, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. While I’ve heard from people who rave about one-button cooking, the luddite in me still seemingly hasn’t progressed far from the stove. 

The Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi Cooker has an individual sauté button, stew button and there’s even a dessert button. That’s my kind of button . 

How did I go with unleashing a new piece of technology in the kitchen? Read on to find out.

It’s no secret that there is many a Thai restaurant Brisbane town. No matter which suburb you enter into, chances are there will be a Tom Yum on offer somewhere. 

With competition this high, to be classified as a good Thai restaurant is serious kudos indeed.

West End's Gala Thai is a good Thai restaurant. 

So what makes their massaman a massa-have?

Allium Brisbane degustation dinner review
Degustation dinners are usually a fancy affair.

A candelabra would not be entirely out of place in the middle of a linen-decked table, as a black and white cuff artfully arranges a diminutive plate of food at a 45 degree angle to it.

At New Farm’s Allium though, there is not one white tablecloth in sight leaving the food to stand on its merit alone.

So how does the dressed-down degustation experience compare to its starched-up counterparts?

Let’s take a look.

Fox and Hounds British Pub Mount Tamborine Review Gold Coast Hinterland
​Where can you find Yorkshire pudding, a Tardis, a pint of London Pride, the Queen and a couple of corgis? 

If you said Mt Tamborine, you’d be right. 

The Fox and Hounds Country Inn is a British pub that was dismantled bit-by-bit from Tunbridge Wells, and rebuilt bit-by-bit in the Gold Coast Hinterland. 

It’s not a british-theme pub; it’s a right old British pub. 

But does it hold a candle to The Three-Legged Mare, or The Bull and Spectacles back in Blighty?

Let’s find out.

DA'Burger | Ascot

Best burgers Brisbane Da'Burger Review
There’s something ridiculously satisfying about burgers and craft beer.

And also cutting off rogue threads on the shirt you’re currently wearing, but we’ll stick to the burgers and beer for now.

It’s strange to call DA’Burger the new kid on the block seeing as it has become something of a New Farm institution for the last five years.

​For cutlery-haters on the northside though, DA’Burger has just opened up a new restaurant in Ascot, bringing with it an upgraded menu that includes house-smoked wings. Winner, winner.

So has the new DA’Burger taken off in full flight compared to the old? Let’s find out.

Lodger Kitchen and Bar | Albion

Lodger Kitchen and Bar Albion Brisbane review date restaurant
What does Ziggy Stardust, tea smoked duck and the Brisbane 'burbs have in common?

Good question. Bear with me. 

New on the Brisbane dining scene, Lodger Kitchen and Bar takes its name from a David Bowie album. In particular, the album Lodger is where Bowie really shunned the expectations of popular music and struck out in his own unique way.

In a similar vein, Brisbane dining scene veterans Blaire Gillespie and Daniel Collins have ventured out on their own from the likes of Bacchus and Stokehouse Q, creating their own restaurant that combines the likes of fine dining with a casual atmosphere. 

So is there a starman waiting in the sky for this new venture? What does that even mean? Let’s find out.

Miss Bliss Whole Foods Kitchen | West End

Miss Bliss West End Brisbane Review
​The term “whole foods” traditionally speaks to an unprocessed, unrefined plant-based food item. Like a raw carrot. 

Healthy? Yes. Mouth-watering? Not exactly in its current form. 

I really do enjoy eating healthy, but I have to admit that I need my healthy foods to be zhooshed-up a little. 

Enter Miss Bliss and her Whole Foods Kitchen in West End. 

Using the concept of whole foods and healthy eating as a basis for the menu, I was hoping for some creativity for getting my five-a-day, within the one meal sitting.

How did I go? Let’s take a look.

Duo West End Cafe Best Coffee Best Cafe Review
  • Having grown up in Brisbane, I remember the days when the main strip of West End was easily the go-to place for a good coffee and creative meal. Well, things have changed a bit since my early 20s (despite that being just a few years ago… obviously… *cough*).

These days, you need to meander off busy Boundary road to find such a café, but once you know where to look, you’ll be seeing West End again with new eyes. 

Tucked away on Browning Street is Duo Bar and Restaurant, which is exactly the type of innovative and trendy café you’re looking for when you visit West End.

But does the food actually taste as good as the menu suggests? Let’s take a look.
