From Bocuse d’Or to Brisbane – Restaurant Dan Arnold opens in Fortitude Valley

By Chrisanthi Demos 12 Jul 2018

The last eight years have been an incredible journey for Dan Arnold. The Brisbane-born chef arrived in France in 2010, where he worked at three Michelin-star restaurant l’Espérance, followed by seven years at two Michelin-star Serge Vieira. His experience lead him to earn bronze at the Bocuse d’Or Asia-Pacific Competition 2016, then placing eighth in the world with his team at the Bocuse d’Or World Final in 2017. Now, Dan has returned home to Brisbane to open his first restaurant, aptly named Restaurant Dan Arnold. more

The Weekend Series: five page-turner books you should be reading right now

12 Jul 2018

Look, we get it – finding time to sit town and devour a good book can be difficult. We all readily admit that we feel better after a good page-turner, so why don’t we make it a regular habit? The trick is finding a book that you know will be good before you start, but you should never judge a book by its cover. We’ve done the hard yards to find five books from Australian (or Australian-based) writers that will stimulate, enlighten and entertain. more

David Wenham joins the Brandenburg for a sonic journey of the Silk Road

12 Jul 2018

He may not be a household name, but William of Rubruck sure did leave something beautiful behind. During his life, he embarked on an epic quest to convert the Great Khan to Christianity in the Mongol capital of Karakorum. During this time he kept a thrilling manuscript and itinerarium detailing his adventures, which have been given a special new life thanks to the Brandenburg Choir and La Camera delle Lacrime. Coming to QPAC’s Concert Hall for one night only on Tueday August 7, Karakorum: A Medieval Musical Journey is a truly stunning sonic ride that will make you feel like you’re trekking the Silk Road circa the 13th century … with David Wenham as your personal tour guide. more

Fine dining on a dime – feast on Vintaged Bar + Grill’s $29 winter lunch menu

12 Jul 2018

Let’s be honest for a second – in this day and age, finding a decent sit-down meal for under $30 seems damn near impossible. Whether you’re getting dealt tiny portions or trying to navigate convoluted deals, the good old-fashioned lunch special just isn’t what it used to be … unless you’re paying a visit to Vintaged Bar + Grill. You read that correctly – the Hilton Brisbane’s esteemed dining institution might be the last place you would think to go sniffing for a bargain, but this is one deal you’re going to want to make time for. more
