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: Temple – 21 Park Rd, Milton

By CazM ⋅ November 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Historically, for lunch goers chasing Thai in the Milton business precinct, Royal Thai Orchid was has been the default venue. Enter Temple, the latest Thai cuisine conveniently located on Park Rd and the Orchid has some stiff competition. Temple takes up residence in what was the long standing Samsara Indonesian furniture shop in the bustling [...]

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 [...]

NOT: The Cliffs Cafe – 3 River Terrace, Kangaroo Point.

By CazM ⋅ November 9, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

I’m forever going on about my penchant for Saturday morning coffee and breakfast after a cruisy run around the river and city surrounds; there’ s nothing more satisfying than throwing down a million calories in bacon and eggs after having spent an hour trying the burn off the ones from the beers the night before. As [...]

HOT: Little Jane St – 5C Winn St, Fortitude Valley

By Kylie ⋅ November 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Little Jane St is brainchild of the lovely Alarna Zinn. Having spent the last few years selling her gorgeous paper wares through her online store as well as third-party stores around the country, shoppers can now get their hands on Alarna’s lovely products at her very own Brisbane store. Alarna has packed a huge [...]

HOT: Cart El Coffee – 102 Adelaide St, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ October 30, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Unless you’re a regular at the Urban Climb indoor climbing centre in Montague Rd, West End, you may not have heard of Brisbane’s latest ring leader in the coffee scene. Known to his mignons as The Don, Lukeus Povis has made such an impression with his mobile beans that he’s opening a new Cart El [...]

HOT: Coffee & Chocolate – Level 1, Queens Plaza, Queen St Mall, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ October 25, 2010 ⋅ One comment

This is one of my favourite spots in the CBD to take customers for meetings during the week. Coffee & Chocolate’s first point of appeal to me was the gorgeous Villaroy & Boch white porcelain cups and accessories they use to serve their creamy coffees in. I don’t know of any other venue in Brisbane [...]

HOT: Cream Patisserie Boulangerie, Shop 3 Cavendish Central, 380 Cavendish Rd, Coorparoo

By CazM ⋅ October 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

MM and I are starting to evade the usual Sunday morning ritual of a lazy breakfast in the City or Valley surrounds. Truth be told it’s only a 5km journey for our little Mazda, but we figure it’d be much nicer to stroll our way to and from breakfast and leave the car in the garage. [...]

HOT: Sardine Tin – Shop 3A Arbour on Grey, Little Stanley St, Southbank.

By CazM ⋅ October 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Mixed opinions have been thrown my way about Southbank’s resident tapas venue Sardine Tin, mostly to do with the limited menu and price tag. But I don’t take heed to these sorts of comments too often, because most people who feel this way just don’t get what tapas is all about. On one of the [...]

HOT: Super Bowl Chinese Restaurant – 185 Wickham St, Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ October 12, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Amongst the neon lights of the Wickham St strip, you could pretty much blink and miss this China Town venue and to be honest it’s not too remarkable in appearances from outside or in. What Super Bowl lacks in glamour, frills and decor however it makes up for in its sizeable menu and notable vibrancy [...]
