NOT – Harajuku Gyoza – 394 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ November 30, 2011 ⋅ 9 comments

Ok…so some readers will find this one a little controversial, but I’m willing to take the risk. Harajuku Gyoza in the Valley is one of the most talked about, raved about and word-of-mouthed about venues to hit our streets recently – and I’m going to bag it. Read on if you dare…. After being warned [...]

HOT – Max Brenner – Shop 1.1 and 1.2, Stanley St Plaza, Southbank

By CazM ⋅ September 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Ok, so Max Brenner and his wicked stores don’t need much by the way of introduction, so I’m just gonna tell it how it is. There’s always a queue, if not 10 or so deep it’s well out the door, particularly in the evenings. There’s a general lack of order and grace in the whole [...]

HOT – Bistrot Bistro – 14 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba

By CazM ⋅ July 6, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Watch out Montrachet, you have a new contender in the modern French cuisine competition with south side contender Bistrot Bistro. Regulars to the Logan Rd precinct across from the Gabba (with the occasional tipple at nearby Canvas), Bistrot Bistro was a chance encounter for MM and I recently, even though we’d had our eyes on [...]

HOT – Biagio Restaurant – 191 Musgrave Rd, Red Hill.

By CazM ⋅ June 30, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

Congratulations Red Hill, you’re now home to my favourite Italian restaurant! I have no idea how Biagio has remained off my radar for this long, but thanks to a friend who literally stumbled across this little gem, I now know where to go for awesome Italian cuisine. Biagio is essentially a fine dining Italian restaurant, [...]

HOT – Stone and Metal – Shop 3/60 James St (Cnr Arthur St), Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ June 3, 2011 ⋅ One comment

From June 2nd to 9th, James St businesses will kick things up a notch in with a cool, new local project which sees the showcasing of contemporary art within the design and retail stores that reside on the funky strip. One of the participating retailers is the ultra cool and seriously original Stone and Metal [...]

HOT: Moo Moo (The Wine Bar & Grill) – Stamford Plaza, Edward St, Brisbane.

By CazM ⋅ May 27, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

Moo Moo’s probably doesn’t require too much of an introduction – it’s not too hard to guess they know a bit about how to cook a decent slab of meat. Having only sipped on delicious champagne in Moo Moo’s very funky, New York-esk bar on one occasion, it was with utter delight that I accepted [...]

HOT: Green Papaya – 898 Stanley Rd, Woolloongabba.

By CazM ⋅ May 13, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s almost starting to wear thin, this constant and enduring search for a Thai restaurant in Brisbane that really blows my mind. Time and time again I stumble across venues that do your stock standard (read: mediocre) red curry, or chicken satay with minimal innovation and not a lot of love in its creation. Sure, [...]

HOT: Sake – Level 1, 45 Eagle St, Eagle St Pier.

By CazM ⋅ March 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another addition to the revamped Eagle St Pier precinct, Sake is one of several contemporary Japanese venues to have popped up in and around Brisbane in the last few months. Japanese cuisine never ends up being a cheap eat; whether you’re taking sushi from the train, doing Tepanyaki, or having a sit down al a [...]

HOT: Spirit House – 20 Ninderry Rd, Yandina, Sunshine Coast.

By CazM ⋅ February 15, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Several credible sources have suggested to me over the last couple of years that the best Thai experience to be found is well off the beaten track in the Sunshine Coast hinterland at Spirit House, Yandina. So whilst on our week-long break at Moooloolaba earlier this year, MM and I decided to indulge in a [...]

NOT: Boatshed Restaurant – Regatta Hotel, 543 Coronation Drive, Toowong.

By CazM ⋅ December 3, 2010 ⋅ One comment

After a week off work gallivanting around the US, I returned to the office to find my colleagues a little frazzled and disheartened – as it turns out, I had taken leave at the worst possible time and they were left to fight fires and battles that would normally fall in my bucket of things [...]
