HOT: Atomica Eat Drink, 173 Boundary St, West End.

By CazM ⋅ July 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s a range of venues to choose from in the West End precinct for a late Saturday breakfast and Atomica has always been one to serve consistently sound and reasonably priced food. My most recent visit was no exception. MM and I have a pretty standard routine of getting to the markets nice and early [...]

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 [...]

NOT: Sex and the City 2

By Kylie ⋅ June 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ll be honest. I wasn’t expecting a lot from Sex and the City 2. I’d seen a few reviews, and they weren’t great. That said, the last movie didn’t get great reviews either, and I enjoyed it for what it was — just a bit of fun. That’s what I expected from round 2. But, [...]

HOT: La Boheme, Palace Opera & Ballet, The Barracks Palace Theatre, 61 Petrie Terrace Brisbane

By Brek ⋅ June 21, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

It was a lovely winter’s day, one of those days when you love Brisbane and just want to dance around in the sunshine. So it was with some reluctance that I attended this early afternoon screening of La Boheme at The Barracks Palace Cinemas. Until 10am that morning, the other half of Brek had thought [...]

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 [...]
