NOT: Little Singapore – 42 Charlotte St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ September 1, 2010 ⋅ One comment

MM and his cronies seem to know all the go-to spots around the city where you can find quick, cheap and tasty lunch time meals and they constantly badger me to try them out for the purposes of the HOT or NOT readership, as well as to satisfy my own love affair with food. Little [...]

HOT: Zenbar, Post Office Square, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ July 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Zenbar is nothing new to the corporate types around town, but for those not so familiar with some of the dining experiences on offer right in the heart of the CBD, you might be interested to read on. Zenbar is a modern Australian restaurant with Asian influenced cuisine and as long as I’ve known it, [...]

HOT: Australian Barista School – 131 Wickham Tce, Spring Hill.

By CazM ⋅ June 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Since I’ve known him, MM has always wanted to do a course on how to make the perfect coffee. So, being the exceptional wife that I am, I bought him (and me!) a spot at Australian Barista School for his birthday last month. There seems to be plenty of coffee schools around Brisbane, but this [...]

HOT: The Coffee Supplier, Stereo Lane, Elizabeth St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ June 18, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Coffee lovers pay attention!! Could it be I have stumbled across one of Brisbane’s best kept coffee secrets? Or could it be I’m just out of touch and I’m actually very late to the party? Whatever it is….I’ve found it and I like it. The Coffee Supplier is Brisbane’s first CBD located boutique roaster and [...]

HOT: Groove Train, 123 Eagle St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ June 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a 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 – [...]

NOT: Shingle Inn Brisbane Square, Cnr Queen & George St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ May 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

As a Brisbane icon and one of those places my Grandmother loved to visit, it pains me a little to post a not-so-glowing review about my recent morning tea at Shingle Inn Brisbane Square. I’m not much of a cake person, in fact I’d much prefer a fatty, savory, pastry-based baked good over a sugary [...]

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: Pane e Vino, 124 Albert St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ March 29, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I could possibly be the fussiest person I know when it comes to eating Italian food and for that reason I rarely bother electing Italian fare when I’m going out for dinner. I have one of those temperamental stomachs that rejects rich, creamy, onion and garlic infused sauces and I often find pasta dishes very [...]

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 [...]
