HOT: Waterloo Hotel – Cnr Ann St & Commercial Rd, Newstead.

By CazM ⋅ September 15, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Truth be told, I seriously have splinters in my back-side over this one. I had to ask MM to pretend to hold a gun to my head and even then I ummed and aaahed for quite some time before finally giving it the benefit of the doubt. It’s a bit of a shame too….I had [...]

HOT: Belesis Cafe – 198 Old Cleveland Rd, Coorparoo

By CazM ⋅ September 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

For a small and understated suburban venue with minimalistic signage, Belesis has a thriving trade and from what I can tell, this isn’t limited to the brunch-time goers on the weekends. On the odd occasion that I’ve wandered past at lunch during the week (when I’m ‘working’ from home…) or driving past in the evenings, [...]

HOT: Bar Alto, The Powerhouse, 119 Lamington St, New Farm

By CazM ⋅ September 7, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Many a Sunday session has been had on my favourite bend in the Brisbane River – whether it be footy in New Farm park, a BBQ and beers at Merthyr Bowls or a people watching, bubbles-sipping sunset at Watt Modern Dining. Another venue to add to this favourites list is Bar Alto at The Powerhouse. [...]

HOT: Black Forest German Cafe Restaurant – 196 Gladstone Rd, Highgate Hill

By CazM ⋅ September 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s something extremely satisfying about a stein of authentic German beer accompanied by a kransky in a doughy bun and now that I know about Black Forest, there’s no reason to wait ‘til October fest. Although I quite enjoy it, German fair would not be my pick of venues for a Saturday night dinner with [...]

NOT: Little Singapore – 42 Charlotte St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ September 1, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

MM and his cronies seem to know all the go-to spots around the city where you can find quick, cheap and tasty lunch time meals and they constantly badger me to try them out for the purposes of the HOT or NOT readership, as well as to satisfy my own love affair with food. Little [...]

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

By CazM ⋅ August 23, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

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

By CazM ⋅ August 17, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

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 [...]

NOT: Four Lions

By Yalin ⋅ August 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

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

By CazM ⋅ August 10, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

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 [...]
