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 – 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 – 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 – 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) [...]

NOT – Campo Dei Fiori – 278 Junction Rd, Clayfield.

By CazM ⋅ August 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Campo Dei Fiori had come highly recommended to me, not only for their filling, home style Italian cuisine, but also their great selection of Italian wines. Unfortunately this little house of flowers didn’t stack up to its reputation on this occasion, their food and service being very bland and underwhelming. MM and I were on [...]
