Fortitude Valley is rife with options for Asian dining. Despite the Chinatown monicker, you can find Thai, Vietnamese, Korean and more, with a ton of options for getting your Japanese sushi fix. But, after eating at Zuri’s all you can eat Sushi night once a week for two months straight, I was ready for a [...]
Like most people, I love a lazy Sunday breakfast. And if you’re anything like me, then chances are you’re not up before noon most Sundays. Fortunately, Symposium Cafe in Fortitude Valley does breakfast all day, so this past Sunday we stopped by to check it out.

A few years ago, I didn’t even know what a Laksa was - in fact, I’d pretty much written off Thai cuisine altogether until a girlfriend introduced me to green curry chicken. Since then, I’ve decided that Thai food is quite delicious and it often makes an appearance in my week’s meal selections. So of [...]
Balti has been on my list to write about for quite a while and now that I’m back writing after a break, it was an obvious choice for one of my first reviews. Originally started by a pleasant English couple, Balti has had good food since the start, but it really took off once it [...]
On a recent trip to Canada, I picked up a copy of the Four Hour Body (4HB) by Tim Ferriss, whose book the Four Hour Workweek is a ‘must read’ for any blogger. In his new book, Ferriss describes what he calls a ’slow carb diet’, and advocates that eating at a burrito bar can [...]

At the end of my travels, I moved to Brisbane where I was dismayed to discover an absolute lack of Italian restaurants [...]
For about two years after moving to Brisbane, I whinged to anyone and everyone that would listen that there were no decent Italian restaurants in central Brisbane. And it wasn’t until after Vapiano opened, and I was saying how nice it was to finally have an Italian restaurant close by, that somebody pointed out to [...]
Brisbane is a town that loves its steak. Cha Cha Char, The Norman Hotel and what was formerly Fiasco’s at The Morrison all serve up fantastic steaks - and I should know, I’ve tried them all! So when I kept hearing on the radio about a new steak restaurant opening up at the Normanby Hotel [...]
I’m always interested in trying something new. So when I was told about a friend’s birthday gathering taking place at Montezuma’s in Mt Gravatt, I was naturally very curious. Specialising in Mexican cuisine, Montezuma’s is fitted out just like a traditional Mexican Cantina - or at least what someone who’s never been to Mexico (like [...]
Rarely do I go out to eat on a Saturday night; but on the occasions when I do go out to a bar and grill style restaurant I expect it to really blow me away. The Beach House Bar & Grill does this, and more. Located within the Myer Centre, not only is The Beach [...]
