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: Siana City – Upper Plaza Level, Riparian Plaza, 71 Eagle St, Brisbane.

By CazM ⋅ December 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve always enjoyed Siana City for the sweeping views of the Brisbane River from the alfresco area and they shake some mean cocktails from a list that is well worth sampling on a balmy summer evening. Filled will suits talking shop most weeknights, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you can [...]

NOT: Boatshed Restaurant – Regatta Hotel, 543 Coronation Drive, Toowong.

By CazM ⋅ December 3, 2010 ⋅ One comment

After a week off work gallivanting around the US, I returned to the office to find my colleagues a little frazzled and disheartened – as it turns out, I had taken leave at the worst possible time and they were left to fight fires and battles that would normally fall in my bucket of things [...]

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: Cart El Coffee – 102 Adelaide St, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ October 30, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Unless you’re a regular at the Urban Climb indoor climbing centre in Montague Rd, West End, you may not have heard of Brisbane’s latest ring leader in the coffee scene. Known to his mignons as The Don, Lukeus Povis has made such an impression with his mobile beans that he’s opening a new Cart El [...]

HOT: Coffee & Chocolate – Level 1, Queens Plaza, Queen St Mall, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ October 25, 2010 ⋅ One comment

This is one of my favourite spots in the CBD to take customers for meetings during the week. Coffee & Chocolate’s first point of appeal to me was the gorgeous Villaroy & Boch white porcelain cups and accessories they use to serve their creamy coffees in. I don’t know of any other venue in Brisbane [...]

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. [...]

HOT: Sardine Tin – Shop 3A Arbour on Grey, Little Stanley St, Southbank.

By CazM ⋅ October 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Mixed opinions have been thrown my way about Southbank’s resident tapas venue Sardine Tin, mostly to do with the limited menu and price tag. But I don’t take heed to these sorts of comments too often, because most people who feel this way just don’t get what tapas is all about. On one of the [...]
