HOT: Two Small Rooms – 517 Milton Rd, Toowong

By CazM ⋅ August 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

My hard working colleagues were looking for something a little more cultured than the standard Friday pub lunch recently and in celebration of CB’s birthday we turned it up a notch by booking a table at Two Small Rooms. Better suited perhaps as a romantic venue for two than a Friday lunch for the office [...]

NOT: Drift Cafe, Jetty & Events– 330 Coronation Drive, Milton

Oxley’s on the River was a Brisbane icon for as long as I can remember. When I first moved to Brisbane at the ripe old age of 9, all I wanted was to go to dinner with my folks down at the cool pontoon restaurant – something to do with my love of food and [...]

HOT: FAB fish and burger grill – The Barracks, Petrie Tce, Brisbane

I’m a huge fan of tight-arse Tuesdays – 2 for 1 anything will get me every time and MM and I embrace it in a big way. We went tight-arse crazy recently up at The Barracks – cashing in on a 2 for 1 movie ticket, 2 for 1 drinks and to my delight, we [...]

Let me preface this review by saying that I do not lack a sense of humour but I don’t believe one can boil down the intricacies of home-grown terrorism into a comedy. The truth is that Morris’ presentation of his characters in Four Lions does not constitute a dark comedy; it is just a bad [...]

HOT: Mints Vietnamese & Asian Cuisine, 4/21 Nash St, Rosalie

I was tempted to keep this short and sweet with just a HOT….and leave it at that. No wordiness or imagery, just pictures; after all I don’t know if my words can do this place justice. In the spirit of blogging however, I’ve used both wordiness and pictures to best portray how good this place [...]

NOT: Café Conti – 1/102 Kedron Brook Rd, Wilston.

Princess and I recently embarked on a Saturday morning, post-run indulgence of a facial and massage treatment up on the North Side. After an hour of pain (running, naturally) and then an hour and a half of pleasure (yep, facial), we figured the only thing that could top this off would be a feast of [...]

HOT: Capri Café Bar – Shop 18, The Emporium, 1000 Ann St, Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ August 3, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I have a bit of a love affair with The Emporium precinct, so in an effort to impress my visiting interstate colleagues recently I insisted we dine at Capri Café Bar which holds some fond memories for me, as I spent a lot of time dining there when I lived nearby in Newstead. From what [...]
