NOT: Salon, Shop 5A, 110 Macquarie St (Cnr Florence St), Teneriffe

By Brek ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

We wouldn’t normally think of going to Teneriffe for dinner, but we were looking for something with a bit of quality, and thought we’d give Salon a try for a dinner for three. I called on Saturday afternoon to book for dinner, and was told we could come at 8. It was a tad late [...]

There are a plethora of supplement stores in Brisbane catering for a range of athletes, from beefcake body builders to the willowy marathon runners. Nutrition Warehouse at Greenslopes and Underwood has a range as huge as Mr World’s biceps, with expertise in dietary supplements to cater for any elite or casual athlete’s requirements. Their service [...]

NOT: Parking in Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ November 14, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The cost of parking in Brisbane CBD is akin to daylight robbery. I heard a rumour that Brisbane was the third most expensive city in the world, and as I scanned the interweb for some substantial evidence, my initial source wasn’t far from the truth. In 2009 Brisbane came in at 7th in the world [...]

NOT: The Patio, The Coro Hotel, 28 McDougall St, Milton

By CazM ⋅ November 10, 2009 ⋅ One comment

McDougall Street Milton is home to some very well known corporate enterprises, whose associates and employees would be chomping at the bit to have a local, stylish establishment to sip coffee in the mornings and beer in the afternoons. On the surface, The Patio at The Coro Hotel looks to provide all that and more [...]

HOT: Kabuki Japanese Restaurant, Stamford Plaza Brisbane Hotel, Cnr Edward and Margaret Sts, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ November 8, 2009 ⋅ 8 comments

Teppanyaki isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and more often than not you’ll find that an evening in front of the Japanese BBQ plate will leave both your stomach and wallet feeling a little empty. My most recent teppanyaki experience was at Kabuki which is heralded as one of Brisbane’s best Japanese restaurants. Following my March [...]

HOT: Andavanth, 46 Douglas St, Milton

By CazM ⋅ November 3, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Milton is one of the busiest business and IT hubs in Brisbane, with countless cafes and restaurants for those long 80’s style corporate lunches. But what if you’re just looking for a quick coffee to kick things along before you settle in for the day? For me, the morning caffeine kick HAS to be good – [...]

HOT: Depot Emporium, Shop 31 Emporium, 1000 Ann St, Fortitude Valley

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ November 2, 2009 ⋅ One comment

When I told CazM how much I enjoyed my breakfast at Buzz Bistro, she suggested that I give its neighbour a try. Depot Emporium is an altogether more glamourous beast, with a four-sided centre bar presiding over a large shaded open space, plus a smaller indoors area housing a coffee station with a jagged mirrored [...]
