The Burrow West End Brisbane Dinner Review Pizzas
Organising a get-together for a big group can be a touch difficult with many places only offering set menus, or refusing to split the bill at the end. One place we came across that easily catered for 20 was this down-the-rabbit-hole eatery.

The Burrow in Brisbane’s West End has set up tables that meander through an old Queenslander house, resulting in a quirky, artsy restaurant.

Let’s hop to the review, shall we?

Known as a coffee shop by day and a beer and cider house by night, the Burrow morphs into just the right type of eatery you may need at any time of the day.

I mentioned the layout of this place is quirky, and The Burrow has embraced this characteristic wholeheartedly by hiding its menus inside children’s books, which is awesome. At first I wasn’t sure why were were given ‘Magical Spot What’ upon sitting at our table, but the light soon dawned that rather than spend a few hours here looking for the red bow-tie, we were meant to make a dinner selection from here.

The dinner menu at the Burrow mainly comprises of pizzas. These aren’t just any pizzas though; the traditional thin, crispy bases support a plethora of delicious combos. Below we had:

  • Bad Mutherfungi: Forest Mushrooms, Crispy Pancetta, Gorgonzola, Mozzarella, Rocket and Parmesan
  • Goatface Killah: Pesto base, Sage Roasted Potatoes, Artichoke Hearts, Confit Garlic, Spinach, Mozzarella, Goats Cheese Mornay and Fresh Herbs

These guys weren’t kidding when they said crispy pancetta on the Bad Mutherfungi- it added a great texture contrast to the rest of the pizza. I loved the generous amounts of mushroom on this and the hint of gorgonzola to make it a bit special.

The Goatface Killah was a fantastically unique vegetarian option. Where else can you get a delicious goats cheese mornay as a pizza topping?

There were some winning sides on offer too:

  • Pakoras: Crispy Fried Onion and Eggplant Fritter with a Tangy Tamarind Sauce
  • The Poutine (Burrow  style  take  on  the  Montreal  classic): Crispy  Beer  Battered  Chips  tossed  in  Blue  Cheese  Sauce,  Pink  and Green Peppercorns,  finished  with  Bacon  Lardons, Parsley  Tips,  and  a  side  of  Gravy

The pakoras were incredibly tasty, though the tamarind sauce ended up being a bit on the sweet side, particularly with the sweet onions in the little golden balls of goodness.

I loved the poutine here with the fresh peppercorns adding a really nice kick. The blue cheese sauce on this wasn’t overpowering, but added a rich depth that you don’t usually associate with chips.

If you just fancied a drink, The Burrow delivers on that too with a range of imported and local boutique beers, and a variety of cocktails on offer. Below is the jug of sangria, served with a very pretty glass full of fruit.

At the end of the night, the guys at The Burrow happily let each of us leave at different times and pay separately, making life amazingly easy for us all.

Great food and drinks, a creative atmosphere and very accommodating staff makes The Burrow a great pick for big-group eating.

I could rabbit on and on about this place but I’ll paws here so you don’t go hopping mad at me.
