HOT: Urbane Restaurant, 179 Mary St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ February 7, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

Finally Brisbane’s laneways are starting to see some action.
Melbourne is renowned for its utilisation of the funky laneways that branch from main streets of the CBD: bars, cafes, boutique shops…you name it, in the laneways down there they’ve got it.
Brisbane, however, has been a little slow on the uptake. We have plenty of laneways, but [...]

HOT: Aria, 1 Eagle St Pier, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ December 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

If you get a Christmas bonus from the boss this year, Aria is the place to spend it. I’m struggling to think of a better in venue in Brisbane when it comes to food, service and scenery.
If you got sucked into the reality TV extravaganza that was MasterChef Australia, then you’ll know that the [...]

HOT: Top Gun Paintball, Glengarry Rd, Keperra

By CazM ⋅ December 4, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I’m not really an advocate of sports that involve hitting, punching, kicking, chopping and generally beating the crap out of other people….but throw me into the bush on a sweltering hot day, with cammo gear, a gun that fires pellets of paint and a bit of nervous adrenalin – it’s game on!
Until earlier this week, [...]

NOT: Fifth Element Bar and Cellar, 1b/188 Grey St, South Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ December 1, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I’ve bragged before about the beauty of my expense account, but whether it’s my money or someone else’s, I know when I’m getting ripped off. Fifth Element brings an air of arrogance to Southbank (not that it’s too out of place) and it’s wound to 11, as are the prices.
I’d wanted to sample the cocktails [...]

NOT: Salon, Shop 5A, 110 Macquarie St (Cnr Florence St), Teneriffe

By Brek ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

We wouldn’t normally think of going to Teneriffe for dinner, but we were looking for something with a bit of quality, and thought we’d give Salon a try for a dinner for three.
I called on Saturday afternoon to book for dinner, and was told we could come at 8. It was a tad late (this [...]

NOT: Parking in Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ November 14, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The cost of parking in Brisbane CBD is akin to daylight robbery.
I heard a rumour that Brisbane was the third most expensive city in the world, and as I scanned the interweb for some substantial evidence, my initial source wasn’t far from the truth. In 2009 Brisbane came in at 7th in the world for [...]

HOT: Kabuki Japanese Restaurant, Stamford Plaza Brisbane Hotel, Cnr Edward and Margaret Sts, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ November 8, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Teppanyaki isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and more often than not you’ll find that an evening in front of the Japanese BBQ plate will leave both your stomach and wallet feeling a little empty. My most recent teppanyaki experience was at Kabuki which is heralded as one of Brisbane’s best Japanese restaurants. Following my March [...]
