By CC ⋅ March 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Hey peeps, it’s CC again, with your definitive guide to some of the upcoming HOTTEST gigs in Brisbane! In addition to my HOT Gig list, I’m also going to be adding my current HOT Mixtape list to the blog. This may consist of tracks from the next up and coming new talent, or just some [...]

NOT: Gelatissimo, Shop 3 The Pavillion, Cnr Albert & Queen Sts, Brisbane

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ February 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

On entry, the colourful mountain range of gelati flavours in Gelatissimo provides a visual feast. Unfortunately, the product from this national chain is not really up to scratch.
Nocciola is one of the few words I can say in Italian (along with ‘gelati’) and I’ve never been disappointed with hazelnut gelato. Unfortunately, Gelatissimo’s version is about as bland [...]

Finally Brisbane’s laneways are starting to see some action.
Melbourne is renowned for its utilisation of the funky laneways that branch from main streets of the CBD: bars, cafes, boutique shops…you name it, in the laneways down there they’ve got it.
Brisbane, however, has been a little slow on the uptake. We have plenty of laneways, but [...]

HOT: LR Sushi, QueensPlaza, Ground Level, Adelaide St, Brisbane

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ January 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Jetsetting Parents are pretty fussy with their sushi, but they can’t stop raving about LR Sushi at QueensPlaza. Apparently Brisbane office workers have also pegged it as a popular lunch spot. Eat Drink Brisbane also gave it a rave review.
Why? LR Sushi produce nori rolls with a difference. The high demand means a fast [...]

HOT: Vapiano, 191 Albert Lane, Queen Street Mall, Brisbane

Today we have another guest blog from Jetsetting Mum reviewing her excellent recent visit to Vapiano. Lots of exclamation marks!
Another tip-off from Jetsetting Joyce (Ed: Thanks to Eyes Bigger Than Belly and FourThousand) saw Jetsetting Dad and I stepping into Vapiano, an Italian eatery which opened shortly before Christmas in a CBD alley. It’s so [...]

HOT: Aria, 1 Eagle St Pier, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ December 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

If you get a Christmas bonus from the boss this year, Aria is the place to spend it. I’m struggling to think of a better in venue in Brisbane when it comes to food, service and scenery.
If you got sucked into the reality TV extravaganza that was MasterChef Australia, then you’ll know that the [...]

HOT: Boulevard St Michel, 187 George St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ December 7, 2009 ⋅ One comment

How much does making and taking your lunch to work every day suck? I’m not creative when it comes to sandwiches and in the mornings it’s the last thing I can really be bothered to take care of. Reheated leftovers can make you sleepy and if you leave the office for a lunch time feed, [...]

HOT: Top Sushi, alleyway Queen and Adelaide St adjoining NAB and HSBC buildings

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ November 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

From burgers to sushi - another post from guest blogger Matman this week.
Brisbane CBD workers have got the taste for sushi and they are not afraid to line up for it.
Like most things in Brisbane – pubs, clubs, restaurants – newness is an oversubscribed commodity. However, sushi in Brisbane is by no means a new [...]

HOT: The Annual Perko Memorial Ride, MB Coaching, 12 McDougall St, Milton

By CazM ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ One comment

These days, cycling seems to be one of Brisbane’s favourite past times and the city has a lot to offer when it comes to cycling routes, paths and facilities. Cycling is a lifestyle choice and it’s like vegemite – you either love it or you hate it. Without entering into the controversial debate of motorists [...]
