The La Lune team invigorate Woolloongabba’s dining scene with Corella

21 Mar 2019

When you hear the names Paul McGivern and Bailee Dewes attached to any kind of hospitality venture, it indicates a particular standard of excellence. We’re not being facetious – their pedigree speaks for itself. The team that gave Brisbane The Wolfe and La Lune Wine Co is taking a slightly different tangent for its newest concept Corella. Officially opening on Thursday March 14, this Woolloongabba eatery is inspired by the idea of uniting the community around a central meeting point, and eschews the notion of ‘special occasion’ dining in favour of delivering an eatery that can be enjoyed by locals nearly any day of the week. more

Maeve Wine brings duck-ham crumpets, rare drops and heritage charm to South Brisbane

14 Mar 2019

A mere mention of South Brisbane's Queensland National Bank building may not ring any bells to you, but we can guarantee you're familiar with this heritage-listed beauty. Sitting pretty on the corner of Melbourne and Grey Streets, opposite QPAC and neighbouring Fish Lane, the building has previously lived a rather financial life, but as of today its first floor is home to a more liquid kind of currency. Through heavy heritage copper doors and up winding burgundy steps, Maeve Wine is waiting to deposit some moreish morsels into your mouth. more

It is universally known that, put quite simply, teamwork makes the dream work. When it comes to the buzzing environment of a restaurant kitchen, this is especially true – too many cooks only spoil the broth when they're not on the same page. Paddington’s newest hotspot is the result of two kindred culinary spirits bringing together their ideas and techniques to realise a singular vision. NOTA is opening this Friday March 8 and from what we've seen so far, we predict a harmonious union of ideas, flavours and textures. more

Today, Monday December 10, Nicoló and Anita Campagnari are opening Ripiena in Fortitude Valley. Ripiena is a hole-in-the-wall pasta joint looking to prove that the perfect pasta is best made (and served) in an uncomplicated manner, letting exceptional ingredients speak for themselves. more
