There’s a new bar creating a bit of a buzz in Bulimba. While the beers, wine list, and range of cocktails are impressive (as you'd want from a new bar), there is also some amazingly mouth-watering food on offer.
Located on the lively Oxford St, Barcadia offers a relaxed atmosphere to sit down, have a drink and nibble your way through a wide array of share plates. That is, if you’re willing to share what comes out of the kitchen.
A new café in Nundah is making the most of its school catchment area, by providing pre-class baked goods for kids, and much needed caffeine for parents doing the weekday drop-off at three nearby schools.
While Fuel & Co. is gaining a reputation for its house-made sweet treats, its extensive menu includes a range of substantial breakfasts and lunches as well. So why are people looking forward to the school run now? Let’s find out. One reason I love pottering around at food markets on the weekend is to see what new, tasty concoctions have been created by clever local gourmets. Sadly I don’t always make it to the markets though, particularly in winter when it’s a toss-up between a warm bed or an early morning forage in the elements. This is where a brand new foodie service comes in. FlavourCrate is the brainchild of Masterchef contestant Ben Macdonald, who has been working with Australian producers to collect a bunch of gourmet treats which can then be delivered to your door. What kid of flavours do you get in a crate? Let’s find out.
Di Bella coffee has made its mark around Brisbane-town, becoming as synonymous as muffins at various cafés and restaurants.
The team behind the bean has created a new Reserve 2016 blend, and we headed over to the Di Bella Coffee Roasting Warehouse Café in Albion to try it out. Will this new coffee do the job of getting you out of bed in the morning? Let’s find out.
There’s something fishy going down at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, and it comes in the form of a bunch of new restaurants opening up there recently.
We had a look at the brand new Pig’s Ear last week, and now we’re sussing out its next door neighbour, Fish Feathers. Being a seafood lover, I was pretty excited for this new restaurant billed as serving up top quality fruit-of-the-sea menu items. Let’s find out how this place ships out.
Degustation dinners are usually few and far between for most people thanks to the hefty price tag attached to the plates and plates of food that are served up.
However, as part of the 10 year celebrations at Toowong restaurant 85 Miskin St, a special July degustation menu has been concocted which features six of the restaurant’s favourite dishes over the past decade. And the best part? it’s only $60 or $95 with matching wines. Does this affordable night out still serve up the wow factor? Let’s take a look.
Tucked away in an alleyway that runs off Ann St in the Valley is a tiny shop that is a burger-lover’s paradise.
Ben’s Burgers brings a bit of Americana to Brisbane with retro furnishings, Hershey’s milkshakes and of course, burgers. So does it cut the mustard? Let’s take a look.
Originally coming from the Western suburbs of Brisbane, I have always been acutely aware that finer dining establishments are few and far between on that side of town. This always resulted in many treks into the city and many $90 taxi fares home back in the day.
Now however, a brand new restaurant has opened on this side of town which offers great food, a great selection of wine and a cheaper cab ride home (unless you’re from the East side). Pig’s Ear Wine and Grill can be found on the third level of the newly revamped Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. Does it bring home the bacon? Let’s find out.
When I gear up for a degustation dinner, I usually anticipate a restaurant with white linen tablecloths, minimalist furnishings, bright lights and modern streamlined tableware. And bread. Waiters walking around with lots of bread.
A degustation at Deer Duck Bistro however turns all of that on its head (apart from the bread). With funky furnishings, antique cutlery, an assortment of china plates and a deer head on the wall you know you’re in for a unique experience as soon as you set foot in the door. As Deer Duck Bistro was just this week awarded a chef's hat in the 2016 Good Food Guide, my already high expectations for this unique restaurant did jump up a notch. So what is the food like within these quirky quarters? Let’s find out. |
