Snackerific I went into Woolworths the other day to buy some snacks (people, I am working again! This is good for the wallet. This also means I get the munchies and work right opposite a supermarket. This is not good for the ass). Balsamic vinegar peanuts were ok. The flavour was decent. It was chea[...]

Vue Lounge Review
Effective Italian Vue Lounge sits in the Merthyr Village Shopping Complex in New Farm. It’s a stylish, straight forward Italian influenced café / lounge bar that could be considered a little snobbish, which is probably why the residents of New Farm make it a hang out of choice. It’s definitely [...]

Kapsali’s Review
Remember how we ‘advertised’ for a new scribe* for eatdrinkbrisbane the other week, with promises of free beer and pink jellybeans? This week we present you with one of the reviews we received, from a lady called K-dawg. Ok, that’s not really her name. Here’s Kath, our specia[...]

Quick Bites: 22 August
Mixed Bag: a bit o’ this, a bit o’ that, a lot of food Quick Bites on a Saturday? What’s up with that? I swear I had every intention of doing it Friday afternoon. Then I remembered it was Mojito Friday. So that’s what’s up with that. In the spirit of my current state, I[...]

3 Monkeys Review
Right. I’ll keep this short and simple. 3 Monkeys is a coffee and tea house in West End. I’d be very surprised if you haven’t heard of it. They’re open late (at least 11:30pm every night) which is in stark comparison with the rest of Brissy coffee shops. They’re popular; on a recent Wednes[...]

16th on Park review
Watch out Freestyle There comes a moment in life that makes you realise why you’re with your significant other. Mine occurred last night, and it involved index fingers, saliva, and a large white plate. We were at 16th on Park, a restaurant that has recently been touting itself as a ‘Dess[...]

Poppy’s Basket Review
It was only the other week that I was lamenting the lack of bakery style coffee shops in Brisbane. I can remember as a kid of 10 or so occasionally tripping into city with a parental to do some (god awful) shopping for school shoes and part of the deal was that we would have [...][...]

Ekka 2009 run-down
Ally vs. the DogWhile I enjoy a drunken Maccas feed when the mood strikes, I can be a bit of a food snob when it suits me. I sneer when people have full cream milk. I yell at my boyfriend when he gets KFC. I gleefully point out the trans fats on the labels of [...][...]

Little Taipei Review
Earlier this year I jumped on a plane and spent two weeks on a little island off the coast of China called Taiwan. The place where everything is made. Food in Taiwan is awesome, it costs nothing, it’s often made fresh right in front of you and the flavours are so beyond your local Asian [...][...]

Ambiwerra 2009 Winners
Rewards for good food make a lot of sense. Do you ever stop and think about the brains behind the steak you shoved into your mouth at dinner last night, or the pastry you had for breakfast this morning (not that I advocate having pastry for breakfast. Wait until at least 7am, please)? Ambiwerra, hel[...]
