HOT: Sake – Level 1, 45 Eagle St, Eagle St Pier.

By CazM ⋅ March 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another addition to the revamped Eagle St Pier precinct, Sake is one of several contemporary Japanese venues to have popped up in and around Brisbane in the last few months. Japanese cuisine never ends up being a cheap eat; whether you’re taking sushi from the train, doing Tepanyaki, or having a sit down al a [...]

HOT: Guzman Y Gomez Mexican Taqueria – Emporium, 1000 Ann St Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ March 15, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Mexican’s not really my scene, unless I’ve got a filthy hangover or nothing but a pack of Doritos in the cupboard left over from the weekend. But in my eagerness to check out what became of the old Depot sight at Emporium I put my disinterest aside, grabbed a couple of girlfriends and headed to [...]

HOT: Thai Seasons – 10 River Esplanade, Mooloolaba

By CazM ⋅ March 10, 2011 ⋅ One comment

In line with our recent Thai theme and my eternal search for the world’s best Thai restaurant, this review exits the geographical boundaries of what’s hot or not in Brisbane, and ventures north to the Sunshine Coast. Another one of our Christmas time tours of Mooloolaba, Thai Seasons was definitely a highlight and one of [...]

HOT: Bavarian Bier Café – Level 1, 45 Eagle St, Eagle St Pier, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ March 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

If I had to sum the Bavarian Bier Cafe up in ten words or less it would be a no brainer – big jugs, tight shirts, short skirts. Interested? The BBC takes up serious real estate at the old Vinos premises, at the top of the Eagle St Pier escalators. Decked out with traditional German [...]

HOT: Spirit House – 20 Ninderry Rd, Yandina, Sunshine Coast.

By CazM ⋅ February 15, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Several credible sources have suggested to me over the last couple of years that the best Thai experience to be found is well off the beaten track in the Sunshine Coast hinterland at Spirit House, Yandina. So whilst on our week-long break at Moooloolaba earlier this year, MM and I decided to indulge in a [...]

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 [...]

HOT: The French Corner – 240 Enogerra Rd, Newmarket

By CazM ⋅ November 22, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

When it comes to interior decorating, I haven’t got a creative bone in my body and am useless at visualising how colours palettes of walls, floors, furniture etc can be harmonious. One thing I know however, is that MM and I are in need of a kick-arse, bold, make-a-statement mirror for the dining room in [...]

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 [...]
