HOT: Canvas, 16B Logan Rd, Woolloongabba

By CazM ⋅ July 8, 2010 ⋅ One comment

MM has his finger well and truly on the pulse when it comes to bars around Brisbane. As a die hard fan of sophisticated cocktail making and drink mixology, he loves to sit at the bar and request a few of his faves from his days in Melbourne (frequenting the oh-so-cool laneway bars) and provide [...]

Hot: Jam 4012, 3/1208 Sandgate Rd, Nundah

By Kylie ⋅ July 6, 2010 ⋅ 9 comments

Since I moved to Nundah with my now husband almost three years ago, we’ve taken great pleasure in sampling the fine cuisine on offer in the local area. Now that my best friend lives in the suburb as well, I have an extra excuse to eat meals out and show her around the local area. [...]

HOT: Otello, 1/180 Oxford St, Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ July 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s not very often that I chose Italian over my much loved and old faithful cuisines of Thai, Japanese or Asian Fusion. I’m wondering if now, following a night of pure indulgence at Otello (Bar, Café, Italiano) that my faith in Italian cuisine has been restored and perhaps my love affair with all things pasta [...]

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: Castelli’s, 2/11 Nash St, Rosalie

By CazM ⋅ June 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With a myriad of cafes and restaurants to choose from in the busy Rosalie area, I was really pleased with my random selection of Castelli’s when on a lunch date with an old friend recently. Castelli’s has been tucked in next to Cold Rock at Rosalie for as long as I can remember. Although I’ve [...]

HOT: Kenchington Patisserie & Fine Tea, 12 Park Rd, Milton

By CazM ⋅ June 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I would normally boast to know Park Rd like the back of my hand, after working in very close proximity for the last decade and lunching up there at least once a week. I’m ashamed to admit however that I’ve fallen into a habit of frequenting the same old haunts for too long, and have [...]

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

By CazM ⋅ June 18, 2010 ⋅ 3 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 ⋅ One 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 – [...]

HOT: Claret House Wine Bar, Shop 5 36 Vernon Tce, Teneriffe

By CazM ⋅ June 14, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I am by no means a wine aficionado – I’m one of those people that will choose a bottle based on the label design and I’m more than happy to sink a bottle of plonk that was purchased with my loose change. So for someone like me to happen upon a place like Claret House [...]

NOT: The Char Grill at Caxton Hotel, 38 Caxton St, Petrie Terrace

By CazM ⋅ June 9, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

Often one of the top picks for Friday lunch for me and the boys in the office (due to geographical convenience and the fact that they sell beer) The Char Grill at Caxton Hotel is a Brisbane icon, particularly around this time of year with State of Origin. On my most recent visit however I [...]
