NOT: Caffe Di Vita – Shop 3, 1 Macgregor St, Wilston.

By CazM ⋅ April 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s not too often that I get a chance to venture to the North side of town for an evening meal, so I was quite looking forward to meeting EM upon her suggestion of Caffe Di Vita in the popular Wilston village area. Truth be told, for a Thursday night it was a little quiet at Caffe [...]

HOT: Guzman Y Gomez Mexican Taqueria – Emporium, 1000 Ann St Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ March 15, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Mexican’s not really my scene, unless I’ve got a filthy hangover or nothing but a pack of Doritos in the cupboard left over from the weekend. But in my eagerness to check out what became of the old Depot sight at Emporium I put my disinterest aside, grabbed a couple of girlfriends and headed to [...]

HOT: Thai Seasons – 10 River Esplanade, Mooloolaba

By CazM ⋅ March 10, 2011 ⋅ One comment

In line with our recent Thai theme and my eternal search for the world’s best Thai restaurant, this review exits the geographical boundaries of what’s hot or not in Brisbane, and ventures north to the Sunshine Coast. Another one of our Christmas time tours of Mooloolaba, Thai Seasons was definitely a highlight and one of [...]

HOT: Minh’s Asian Restaurant – Shop 5, 336 Ipswich Rd, Annerley.

By CazM ⋅ March 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Tucked away in the back corner of a small business complex on busy Ipswich Rd, Minh’s Asian is clearly one of south side suburbia’s quiet achievers; it’s a no frills, no fuss restaurant with only a small dining area – but what it lacks in size and grandeur it makes up for in its huge [...]

HOT: Jubilee Hotel Bistro – 470 St Paul’s Terrace, Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ December 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another of Brisbane’s well known pubs that’s undergone a serious face lift in the last few years is the Jubilee Hotel, in particular the beer garden and dining area. I held a mid-week customer meeting over lunch at the Jubilee Hotel Bistro recently and it was a good thing we rocked up early as the crowds [...]

HOT: Temple – 21 Park Rd, Milton

By CazM ⋅ November 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Historically, for lunch goers chasing Thai in the Milton business precinct, Royal Thai Orchid was has been the default venue. Enter Temple, the latest Thai cuisine conveniently located on Park Rd and the Orchid has some stiff competition. Temple takes up residence in what was the long standing Samsara Indonesian furniture shop in the bustling [...]

HOT: Green Tea Restaurant – China Town Mall Shop 1B, 31 Duncan St Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ November 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In search of a casual dining venue to satisfy our hunger and budgets for a Saturday night team-building feast, the work crew and I booked a table at Green Tea Restaurant after a hot tip from a China Town regular. Green Tea Restaurant is one of the new additions to the revamped China Town Mall and [...]

NOT: The Cliffs Cafe – 3 River Terrace, Kangaroo Point.

By CazM ⋅ November 9, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

I’m forever going on about my penchant for Saturday morning coffee and breakfast after a cruisy run around the river and city surrounds; there’ s nothing more satisfying than throwing down a million calories in bacon and eggs after having spent an hour trying the burn off the ones from the beers the night before. As [...]

HOT: Little Jane St – 5C Winn St, Fortitude Valley

By Kylie ⋅ November 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Little Jane St is brainchild of the lovely Alarna Zinn. Having spent the last few years selling her gorgeous paper wares through her online store as well as third-party stores around the country, shoppers can now get their hands on Alarna’s lovely products at her very own Brisbane store. Alarna has packed a huge [...]

HOT: Cream Patisserie Boulangerie, Shop 3 Cavendish Central, 380 Cavendish Rd, Coorparoo

By CazM ⋅ October 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

MM and I are starting to evade the usual Sunday morning ritual of a lazy breakfast in the City or Valley surrounds. Truth be told it’s only a 5km journey for our little Mazda, but we figure it’d be much nicer to stroll our way to and from breakfast and leave the car in the garage. [...]
