HOT: Groove Train, 123 Eagle St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ June 16, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Whether I’m out on a morning run or an enjoying an evening in the city with friends, my favourite spots are those that track alongside the river. In the mornings there’s something very peaceful and surreal about how the sparkling river bends around the city, with the sun reflecting off the imposing buildings above – [...]

HOT: Chill Bar Dining, Cnr Oxford 7 Cambridge Sts, Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ June 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Is it nasty to review a restaurant on what is probably one of busiest days of the year, second to perhaps Valentine’s Day? Personally, I think it’s fair enough to put venues through their paces and test their agility on super-busy occasions and I’m pleased to say Chill Bar nailed it when MM and I [...]

HOT: Vue Lounge, 83 Methyr Road, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ May 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Today we have another review from Jetsetting Mum, who is our eyes and ears on the streets of New Farm! Her latest post gives us the low down on the very popular Vue Lounge. Jetsetting Dad and I have been going to Vue Lounge for years, occasionally when we were still living on the other [...]

HOT: Brio Espresso & Juice, 8/36 Vernon Terrace, Newstead

By CazM ⋅ April 12, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

I often wonder if I serve the Hot or Not readers any justice at all when I review breakfast locations. No matter where I dine for breaky, I can never go past the bacon and eggs. Let it be known from now on then, that whenever CazM does breakfast, there’s a caveat attached that minimal menu [...]

HOT Chat: Mark Lobo, Photographer

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ February 15, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Today’s post is a great interview with Brisbane based photographer Mark Lobo. I came across Mark’s work through The Colour and was immediately impressed by the saturated colours and vital personalities he captured in his work. He’s also living the dream as a full time professional photographer. You can follow Mark on Twitter here. Thanks [...]

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. [...]

NOT: Depot Emporium, Shop 31 Emporium, 1000 Ann St, Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ January 27, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Two years ago when I was a full time Fortitude Valley dweller, breakfast was synonymous with Depot Emporium, but since making the move to the other side of the river, I don’t get to the Valley half as much as I’d like to. When invited to breakfast last week with my friend JC, who also [...]

HOT: Cafe Bouquiniste, 2/121 Merthyr Rd, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ January 4, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

A bouquiniste is someone who sells books, but Cafe Bouquiniste is a little workers cottage cafe which sells all manner of nice things, not just books. I can just imagine how much fun the owner Meredith has picking up delightful objects for her cafe store, from Chinese bamboo tea trays, silk scarves, Moleskine notebooks and [...]

HOT: The Fat Carrot, 179 Boundary St, West End

By CazM ⋅ November 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Smack-bang amongst the plethora of cafes and bars that give West End its livelihood is a little piece of juice and smoothie nirvana. The Fat Carrot (or perhaps it should be The Phat Carrot?), has a lot more to offer than your everyday down-the-road-produce-store. This little gem on Boundary St is flanked by a gourmet [...]

HOT: Depot Emporium, Shop 31 Emporium, 1000 Ann St, Fortitude Valley

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ November 2, 2009 ⋅ One comment

When I told CazM how much I enjoyed my breakfast at Buzz Bistro, she suggested that I give its neighbour a try. Depot Emporium is an altogether more glamourous beast, with a four-sided centre bar presiding over a large shaded open space, plus a smaller indoors area housing a coffee station with a jagged mirrored [...]
