HOT: Bubbles Café Bar and Dining, 190 Albert St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ April 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

As Princess and I walked into Bubbles Café, we were sure this experience wouldn’t make it to the sought after HOT list. And to be honest, I was looking forward to awarding a NOT – it’s been ages after all and I was suffering terrible Monday-itis, so the mood kind of called for it. It [...]

HOT: Grill’d, 421 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ March 31, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Grill’d don’t just produce any burgers, they pride themselves on producing large, healthy and tasty premium burgers (a la Gourmet Burger King). From what I could see their clientele seemed to be mostly single males between the ages of 20-35, so it was only natural that it was RM’s first choice for a lunch spot. [...]

HOT: Sage on Ann, 140 Ann St, Brisbane

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ March 22, 2010 ⋅ 7 comments

Today a guest post from Jetsetting Mum and she tries out newbie Sage on Ann… Sage on Ann is another fairly new restaurant in Brisbane CBD. Business took Jetsetting Dad and I again to the city centre and we decided to try this new place after reading a couple of good reviews from the local [...]

HOT: Crust, Shop 2/20 Racecourse Rd, Hamilton

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ March 15, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Is it possible for a pizza to be healthy and tasty? Gourmet pizza makers Crust have started selling a range of pizzas called ‘Healthier choice‘. It’s not just a meaningless euphemism for ‘vegetarian’ or ‘fewer toppings’ – the freshly made pizzas have literally been given the National Heart Foundation tick of approval, which means that they meet [...]

NOT: Alice in Wonderland

By Yalin ⋅ March 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Tim Burton is a director with a very distinct view of things. He tends to show the beauty in some of the most unlikely characters, embrace the dark and review a new good within it. Some might say he is the Mad Hatter of the world of cinema. However, his latest film Alice in Wonderland is [...]

HOT: A Single Man

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ February 26, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Colin Firth won a BAFTA a few days ago with his role as George Falconer in A Single Man. If you watch this film you’ll see why. The first foray of Tom Ford, uber-fashion designer, into film is an intense and elegiac work about the nature of love, loneliness, repression and the small poignant moments [...]

HOT: The Prophet (Un prophete)

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ February 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I had no idea what to expect from The Prophet (Un prophete) – I only knew that the French film that had received lots of praise, including a Best Foreign Film Oscar nomination. “Oh no” I thought as I bit into my choc top and the blood splattered on screen, “It’s going to be two [...]

HOT: Bamboo Basket, 189 Grey St, South Brisbane

By Brek ⋅ February 8, 2010 ⋅ 9 comments

Bamboo Basket is new addition to the increasingly vibrant and unapologetically modern South Bank precinct. Located at the eastern end of Grey St, there was always the danger that when this Chinese restaurant opened a few months ago it would be a little far from the action. But it hasn’t taken long for it to [...]

NOT: Dakbla Restaurant, 65 Hardgrave Rd, West End

By Brek ⋅ February 5, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

We try to have a new food adventure at least once a week. But there are some times when you just need the old locale, a place where you can be guaranteed a quick, cheap and tasty feed. And then you arrive at 8.15pm and find the place packed to the rafters, so you go [...]

HOT: Buzz Bistro, Shop 22 Emporium, 1000 Ann St, Fortitude Valley

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ January 29, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m not even going to bother with the puns about ‘buzzing Buzz‘ or ‘lots of buzz about Buzz‘ – you’ve probably heard them all already. So let me just say that bright and cheery Buzz (love the red and white stripey awnings) served up one of the most satisfying and delicious breakfasts that I’ve had in a while. [...]
