HOT – The Nook off Hawthorne – 261 Hawthorne Rd, Hawthorne.

By CazM ⋅ December 24, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Tucked behind the old Hawthorne Cinema is this great little cafe that is well worth a visit, even if you’re not heading to a movie. The Nook was the random choice for a Sunday breakfast recently only by chance, as CB and I were looking for a location to eat that was somewhere geographically equidistant [...]

HOT – The Brunswick Social – 367 Brunswick ST, Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ December 8, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Now THIS is a bit of me – imagine a large cavernous but homely warehouse-style venue with romantic mood lighting, funky tunes, chic modern (but not over the top) decor, a long bar from which you can order awesome made-with-love cocktails and a kitchen open late (yes! It’s true!) to aid with soaking up said [...]

HOT – Bang Coffee Bar – 133A Kirkland Ave, Coorparoo

By CazM ⋅ November 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Yay for more cafes in the Coorparoo area! Bang Coffee Bar is a new and very welcome addition to the Coorparoo cafe scene. With quick, easy, fare on the breakfast and snack menu, minimal clutter, clean lines and ample floor space, Bang Coffee Bar is probably best described as a simple, but effective cafe experience. [...]

HOT – Banneton Bakery – 25 Balaclava St, Woolloongabba

By CazM ⋅ October 5, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Fancy a short black in the sun, accompanied by a real life French pastry? Or perhaps something a little more wicked and sweet, like a sacher torte and hot chocolate? Banneton Bakery, nestled quietly in amongst a rather industrious strip of warehouses and stores in Woolloongabba, hits the mark when it comes to sweet or [...]

HOT – Old Town Kitchen – Shop 221, McWhirters Centre, Brunswick St Mall, Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ September 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Back on the streets to see how Brisbane fares with regards to its Malaysian cuisine scene, Old Town Kitchen in the Brunswick St mall was our latest find and it’s bold, but safe, to say that this place might be a nose in front of the rest we’ve seen so far. No frills seems to [...]

HOT – Ole Restaurant, Shop B12 Little Stanley St, Southbank

By CazM ⋅ September 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only a couple of weeks since opening, Ole Spanish tapas restaurant at Southbank seems to have already made quite a name for itself. With great tasty food, smiley friendly service and a beautiful outlook, it’s no surprise that tongues around town are madly wagging already. Ole’s opening week couldn’t be timelier – smack bang in the [...]

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 – Little Malaysia – 156 Boundary St, West End

By CazM ⋅ September 6, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

After a rather unimpressive yet stressful day and not much inclination for slaving over a stove, I picked up MM and we headed to the Boundary St strip in West End, one of our favourite areas to roam in Brisbane. I’d spotted Little Malaysia nestled in between some of your more well known franchised dining [...]

HOT – Jude – 9/1 Eagle St, Brisbane CBD.

By CazM ⋅ August 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Nestled tightly in amongst the new look Eagle St Pier precinct, this twee little cafe provides a fast, creative alternative for lunch goers in the city. Jude presents a strange combination of fast food and fine dining with its blend of super quick, pre-made meals amongst the surrounds of a beautifully decorated and relaxed (mostly) [...]

HOT – Alberto’s Shot – 462 Montague Rd, West End.

By CazM ⋅ August 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another very popular caffeine stop for river-looping cyclists is Alberto’s Shot, down towards the Orleigh Park end of Montague Road in West End. Taking up some nice corner block real estate in the sun, this busy little espresso bar and cafe has just given its breakfast menu a facelift, so MM and I thought it [...]
