HOT – Biagio Restaurant – 191 Musgrave Rd, Red Hill.

By CazM ⋅ June 30, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

Congratulations Red Hill, you’re now home to my favourite Italian restaurant! I have no idea how Biagio has remained off my radar for this long, but thanks to a friend who literally stumbled across this little gem, I now know where to go for awesome Italian cuisine. Biagio is essentially a fine dining Italian restaurant, [...]

NOT – The Villager Hotel (Gastrobar) – 185 George St Brisbane CBD.

By CazM ⋅ June 24, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Underwhelming is probably the best term I can use to describe my verdict on lunch from the gastrobar menu at The Villager Hotel. Once again my expectations probably got the better of me, but gastrobar and supper club are the kinds of words you associate with awesomeness and big expectations when it comes to food. [...]

HOT – The Burrito Bar (Southbank) – 5/167 Grey St, South Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ June 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Mexican seems to be the new black of the food world at the moment and although it takes a certain kind of mood (read: hang over) to get me feeling the Mexican vibe, my arm can generally be twisted if a slushy margarita is on the menu. The Burrito Bar Southbank adds a pretty funky [...]

HOT – Brisbane Alpine Winter Festival – King George Square, Brisbane CBD.

By CazM ⋅ June 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The words ‘Brisbane’ and ‘alpine winter wonderland’ don’t exactly go together like franks and beans, but this winter every attempt to bring these things together like birds of a feather has been made, as the Alpine Winter Festival comes to balmy Brisbane for the month of June. King George Square has been converted into a [...]

HOT – My Thai Kitchen – Shop 18, 36 Baroona Rd, Milton

By CazM ⋅ June 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The offspring born of Brisbane’s infamous My Thai (in Auchenflower), My Thai Kitchen is a welcome addition to the Milton and Rosalie areas with their super quick and easy lunch time specials, their agonisingly awesome and extensive dinner menu (for dine in or takeaway) and to top it off….a cooking school! My work buddies and [...]

HOT – Lady Marmalade – Cnr Logan Rd and Cleveland St, Stones Corner.

By CazM ⋅ June 6, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Perched on some age old real estate just next to the Stones Corner round-about, Lady Marmalade cafe is a funky mishmash of retro and kitsch decor with obscure little trinkets and 1950’s dust collectors lining the walls and shelves. It’s got that old school feel that takes you back to school holidays at your Gran’s [...]

HOT – Stone and Metal – Shop 3/60 James St (Cnr Arthur St), Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ June 3, 2011 ⋅ One comment

From June 2nd to 9th, James St businesses will kick things up a notch in with a cool, new local project which sees the showcasing of contemporary art within the design and retail stores that reside on the funky strip. One of the participating retailers is the ultra cool and seriously original Stone and Metal [...]

HOT – Taro’s Ramen & Cafe – Ground Floor, 363 Adelaide St, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ June 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

A friend of mine ‘checks in’ to Taro’s Ramen & Cafe every Thursday night and just raves about the quality of food. Can ramen really be that good? I eventaully managed to wangle myself an invitation (after some not so gentle persuasion) to see what all the fuss was about. The four of us kicked [...]

NOT: Egg Bistro – 989 Stanley St, East Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ May 30, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

A couple of false starts and high expectations may well be the reason behind Egg Bistro being awarded a NOT; but after much deliberation and consultation with MM and my inner self, I’m now confident this NOT is justified. I’ve being hearing ‘Egg this’ and ‘Egg that’ in every local rag, and unfortunately our first [...]

HOT: Moo Moo (The Wine Bar & Grill) – Stamford Plaza, Edward St, Brisbane.

By CazM ⋅ May 27, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

Moo Moo’s probably doesn’t require too much of an introduction – it’s not too hard to guess they know a bit about how to cook a decent slab of meat. Having only sipped on delicious champagne in Moo Moo’s very funky, New York-esk bar on one occasion, it was with utter delight that I accepted [...]
