HOT – Hamptons Home Living – 180 La Trobe Terrace, Paddington.

By CazM ⋅ January 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

This is without a doubt the best venue in Brisbane that I’ve been to when it comes to enjoying a view, in conjunction with my first and favourite meal of the day . Not only is the outlook exceptional at Hamptons Home Living, but so too the food, the coffee, the service….the whole lot was [...]

HOT – Ruby Cafe – 233 Given Terrace, Paddington.

By CazM ⋅ January 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Good Guide lead me to this little gem; with a basic yet inviting description of ‘glorious views over the hillside cottages of Paddington and a ruby red ceiling’, I was pretty much sold and put breakfast at Ruby Cafe on the to-do list over my Christmas break. Not knowing just how popular or roomy [...]

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 – 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 – Salt – 5 Nash St, Rosalie.

By CazM ⋅ November 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Following the floods earlier this year I’ve developed a bit of a soft spot for Rosalie Village and the surrounding shops, so in support of local small business I make a habit of investing in a lunch or two weekly in the area. In the past, the Rosalie cafe scene hasn’t really been my cup [...]

HOT – Des Alpes Swiss Restaurant – 47 Blackwood St, Mitchelton.

By CazM ⋅ October 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Market-goers of Brisbane will know Blackwood St for its monthly Jan Power’s market day. But did you know Blackwood St is also home to a lovely, unassuming, family run restaurant that serves delicious, honest, home-style Swiss cuisine? Swiss food, like its people, is largely influenced by its neighbouring countries with the exception of course, of [...]

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 [...]

HOT – Brown Dog Cafe – 54 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba.

By CazM ⋅ August 22, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Perched quite inconspicuously on its corner block, Brown Dog Cafe is a popular coffee stop for dog walkers, cyclists and wanderers by alike. Don’t let the rather bland facade and lycra-clad cyclists deter you from dropping in, the superb coffees and friendly service definitely make up for that! With a reasonable crowd always gathered on [...]

HOT – Home Store & Cafe – 20 Stewart Rd, Ashgrove.

By CazM ⋅ August 4, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

With only a vague idea of where we were heading, and a small battle with the street directory, MM and I had worked ourselves into a state of reluctance and mild anxiety as we made the trip to Home Store & Cafe in Ashgrove – a side of town we’re not too familiar with. Good [...]

NOT – The Villager Hotel (Gastrobar) – 185 George St Brisbane CBD.

By CazM ⋅ June 24, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Underwhelming is probably the best term I can use to describe my verdict on lunch from the gastrobar menu at The Villager Hotel. Once again my expectations probably got the better of me, but gastrobar and supper club are the kinds of words you associate with awesomeness and big expectations when it comes to food. [...]
