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: Café Conti – 1/102 Kedron Brook Rd, Wilston.

By CazM ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

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 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

HOT: Zenbar, Post Office Square, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ July 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Zenbar is nothing new to the corporate types around town, but for those not so familiar with some of the dining experiences on offer right in the heart of the CBD, you might be interested to read on. Zenbar is a modern Australian restaurant with Asian influenced cuisine and as long as I’ve known it, [...]

NOT: Earth ‘n’ Sea Amazing Pizza & Pasta, 142 Oxford St Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ July 20, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

MM and I were on the hunt for a quick and relatively cheap feed before catching a movie recently, so instead of settling at one of the fancy cafes on Oxford St, we headed to Earth ‘n’ Sea for what we anticipated would be a cheap, hearty meal that we could woof down and then [...]

HOT: Bow Thai Restaurant, Shop 14, Cathedral Place, Wickham St, Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ July 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

A friend recently asked me where they could find a decent Thai restaurant in the Valley, and to their surprise (and mine), I had nothing. How could someone who spends so much time eating and drinking their way around the CBD and immediate surrounds not be able to nominate a decent Thai place? So (with [...]

HOT: Canvas, 16B Logan Rd, Woolloongabba

By CazM ⋅ July 8, 2010 ⋅ One comment

MM has his finger well and truly on the pulse when it comes to bars around Brisbane. As a die hard fan of sophisticated cocktail making and drink mixology, he loves to sit at the bar and request a few of his faves from his days in Melbourne (frequenting the oh-so-cool laneway bars) and provide [...]

Hot: Jam 4012, 3/1208 Sandgate Rd, Nundah

By Kylie ⋅ July 6, 2010 ⋅ 6 comments

Since I moved to Nundah with my now husband almost three years ago, we’ve taken great pleasure in sampling the fine cuisine on offer in the local area. Now that my best friend lives in the suburb as well, I have an extra excuse to eat meals out and show her around the local area. [...]

HOT: Otello, 1/180 Oxford St, Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ July 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s not very often that I chose Italian over my much loved and old faithful cuisines of Thai, Japanese or Asian Fusion. I’m wondering if now, following a night of pure indulgence at Otello (Bar, Café, Italiano) that my faith in Italian cuisine has been restored and perhaps my love affair with all things pasta [...]

HOT: Australian Barista School – 131 Wickham Tce, Spring Hill.

By CazM ⋅ June 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Since I’ve known him, MM has always wanted to do a course on how to make the perfect coffee. So, being the exceptional wife that I am, I bought him (and me!) a spot at Australian Barista School for his birthday last month. There seems to be plenty of coffee schools around Brisbane, but this [...]
