Piggy Back Cafe Brisbane review rainbow coffee latte pink pitaya panna cotta
Lately my two-year old has been singing “I can sing a rainbow” in a true two-year-old fashion: repetitively. 

After waking up at 1am to “listen with your eyeees, listen with your eyeeees,” I decided enough was enough and worked hard to change our vocal rotation to songs about twinkling little stars, mice running up clocks, highways to hell; anything else.

My blanket rainbow ban was working.

That is until I went to Piggyback Café in Brisbane’s west-side. And ordered the most radiant meal I’ve ever had in my life.
​
Was I seeing red? Or yellow or green and blue? Let’s take a look.

Mariosarti Toowong Italian restaurant Brisbane review best restaurants brisbane
​Brisbane’s dining scene has seen a great deal of change over the past couple of decades.

​Restaurants have come and gone, and there’s definitely a lot more pulled pork on plates now than there was in the 90s. 

One restaurant that has remained a constant is Mariosarti, which has been a stalwart of Toowong, for over 20 years. 

Recently though, Mariosarti has been placed under the care of a brand new owner. So does its food still stand the test of time?

Let’s find out.

Than Nuong Vietnamese Kitchen and Bar Charcoal Vietnamese Brisbane Woolloongabba Best Vietnamese Brisbane
Healthy eating in the Winter months can be a bit of a challenge. A salad certainly isn’t the first thing you think of when you’re wearing thermal leggings and a puffy jacket. 

This is where a big bowl of warming, healthy pho fits the bill nicely. While on the hunt for a big bowl of this nutritious deliciousness, I stumbled upon Brisbane’s newest Vietnamese restaurant located in Woolloongabba.

Than Nuong translates to ‘charcoal’, and char-grilled meat has cold-weather-eating all over it. 
​
So is it possible to eat delicious warming Winter food and not break the diet? Let’s find out.

Lokal and Co West End Review Breakfast Lunch Brisbane
I have four words for you: Ricotta Blueberry Breakfast Dumplings. 

When I heard these were on offer at our local Nordic-inspired café, I was there faster than you can say blåbær. 

Lokal + Co at West End offers a very innovative menu which puts the old plate of bacon and eggs to shame. But does this creativity translate into deliciousness?

Todd and Pup Brisbane Cafe Review
Moorooka may be the go-to suburb to buy a second-hand car, but it’s also becoming the place to find quality brunches thanks to a burgeoning café scene in the winding streets behind the “magic mile”.

One such café to have popped up is Todd and Pup. As the cute name suggests, dogs are welcome here. So are Todds.

This family friendly café also extends its bear hug to kids, so is already a winner in the minds of local families. 
​
For those of us though on the other side of town who aren’t in the market for a new SUV, is it worth the drive to this café? Let’s find out.

Aria Brisbane review to close in 2020
It’s been three years since I last wrote about a dining experience at Brisbane’s Aria, where I found the food, and river-front views, and all that to be, you know, tolerable.

Ok that’s a lie. I loved it.

As such though, I had great expectations to love it again this time around, because things only get better with age, right? Apart from Germaine Greer.  

Sometimes though, setting the bar too high is the perfect way to be disappointed, so there is always a bit of a risk involved with the return visit to a much loved restaurant.
​
How did Aria’s fare fare this time around? Let’s find out.

Frejas Cafe Wilston Village Brisbane Review
While there’s nothing technically wrong with the standard bacon and eggs on a Sunday morning, it can start to feel a little same-old, same-old each week.

​Yes I try to spice up my life by switching from fried eggs to scrambled eggs now and again, but lately even a poached egg hasn’t been quite cutting it.

Enter Freja’s. 

Located in trendy Wilston Village in Brisbane’s inner-north, Freja’s Cafe has an all-day menu that is nothing if not outlandishly creative. I’m talking beef cheek and macaroni croissant, confit garlic waffles or panna-cotta with your granola. 

But do these plates of art translate into tasty tidbits? Let’s take a look.

Italian Street Kitchen | Newstead

Italian Street Kitchen Gasworks Brisbane Review Dinner
There are two things I truly love- eating out for dinner and my toddler.

​Sadly, both of those things don’t always go hand-in-hand. Nothing strikes fear into the heart of someone standing behind a white table cloth as the sight of small sticky fingers.  

As such, I’ve become a little bit obsessed with finding kid-friendly restaurants so that my mini-me and I can both enjoy an (early) night out.

Luckily for us, Italian Street Kitchen has migrated from Sydney to Brisbane, bringing with it ridiculously tasty food, an affordable menu, and a fun family-friendly atmosphere.

Does it really feel like a little slice of Italy in the inner-city burbs?

Let’s find out.
