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 [...]

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

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ February 14, 2010 ⋅ One 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 [...]

HOT: Urbane Restaurant, 179 Mary St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ February 7, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

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 [...]

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 [...]

Today we have another guest blog from Jetsetting Mum reviewing her excellent recent visit to Vapiano. Lots of exclamation marks!

It’s [...]

HOT: Aria, 1 Eagle St Pier, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ December 23, 2009 ⋅ 6 comments

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, [...]
