HOT: Two Small Rooms – 517 Milton Rd, Toowong

By CazM ⋅ August 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

My hard working colleagues were looking for something a little more cultured than the standard Friday pub lunch recently and in celebration of CB’s birthday we turned it up a notch by booking a table at Two Small Rooms. Better suited perhaps as a romantic venue for two than a Friday lunch for the office [...]

NOT: Drift Cafe, Jetty & Events– 330 Coronation Drive, Milton

By CazM ⋅ August 23, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

Oxley’s on the River was a Brisbane icon for as long as I can remember. When I first moved to Brisbane at the ripe old age of 9, all I wanted was to go to dinner with my folks down at the cool pontoon restaurant – something to do with my love of food and [...]

HOT: FAB fish and burger grill – The Barracks, Petrie Tce, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ August 17, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I’m a huge fan of tight-arse Tuesdays – 2 for 1 anything will get me every time and MM and I embrace it in a big way. We went tight-arse crazy recently up at The Barracks – cashing in on a 2 for 1 movie ticket, 2 for 1 drinks and to my delight, we [...]

HOT: Mints Vietnamese & Asian Cuisine, 4/21 Nash St, Rosalie

By CazM ⋅ August 10, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I was tempted to keep this short and sweet with just a HOT….and leave it at that. No wordiness or imagery, just pictures; after all I don’t know if my words can do this place justice. In the spirit of blogging however, I’ve used both wordiness and pictures to best portray how good this place [...]

NOT: Café Conti – 1/102 Kedron Brook Rd, Wilston.

By CazM ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Princess and I recently embarked on a Saturday morning, post-run indulgence of a facial and massage treatment up on the North Side. After an hour of pain (running, naturally) and then an hour and a half of pleasure (yep, facial), we figured the only thing that could top this off would be a feast of [...]

HOT: Capri Café Bar – Shop 18, The Emporium, 1000 Ann St, Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ August 3, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I have a bit of a love affair with The Emporium precinct, so in an effort to impress my visiting interstate colleagues recently I insisted we dine at Capri Café Bar which holds some fond memories for me, as I spent a lot of time dining there when I lived nearby in Newstead. From what [...]

HOT: Flamingo Cafe, 5B Winn Street, Fortitude Valley

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ July 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Today we have a guest post from Jetsetting Mum, making a trip to the Valley to try Flamingo Cafe. Tucked in an alley on the short Winn Street is the shop-front and the alfresco section of Flamingo Cafe. As the name implies, the place is bold and colourful, full of character. There is no free [...]

HOT: Zenbar, Post Office Square, Brisbane CBD

By CazM ⋅ July 27, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Zenbar is nothing new to the corporate types around town, but for those not so familiar with some of the dining experiences on offer right in the heart of the CBD, you might be interested to read on. Zenbar is a modern Australian restaurant with Asian influenced cuisine and as long as I’ve known it, [...]

HOT: The Runaways

By Kylie ⋅ July 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Floria Sigismondi is the director of some of the most impressive music videos of the past fifteen years. Her dark, seductive work has accompanied music by the likes of Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Interpol, the White Stripes and even Christina Aguilera; strangely, even if you don’t like the song you can be drawn in by [...]

NOT: Earth ‘n’ Sea Amazing Pizza & Pasta, 142 Oxford St Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ July 20, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

MM and I were on the hunt for a quick and relatively cheap feed before catching a movie recently, so instead of settling at one of the fancy cafes on Oxford St, we headed to Earth ‘n’ Sea for what we anticipated would be a cheap, hearty meal that we could woof down and then [...]
