At the end of July, we sadly had to say goodbye to The Burrow on Mollison Street in West End. For a couple of tough months we mourned the cosy space, waiting patiently for the eatery to reopen in a new location. Well at last the time has come, dear readers. The Burrow is back and its better than ever. more
An innocuous arcade off Elizabeth Street is now home to a scintillating new eatery – one that specialises in serving piping-hot dishes, tempura-battered bites, plates of gyoza, premium Japanese beers and sake. Hato Gyoza & Grill delivers authentic Japanese cuisine in a smart Osaka laneway-type setting. more
Until only a few years ago, we simple Westerners had only recognised four tastes – salt, sweet, sour and bitter. But the identification of a fifth taste – umami – allowed us to express our pure joy for moreish savoury foods. It's the mouth-watering taste that we experience from parmesan cheese, perfectly ripe tomatoes and mature beef – so basically all of our favourite things. more

Here at The Weekend Edition, we're all about getting out and sampling the delicious dishes that Brisbane's stellar eateries have to offer.

Thankfully for us, UberEATS has finally launched in Brisbane, and is bringing some pretty rad eats to the comfort of your own home. more
If you're going to learn any Spanish phrases, especially prior to a trip to Mexico, there is one in particular that we recommend. Equip yourself with ‘yo quiero tequila’ – translating to ‘I want tequila’, or if you want to profess your love for your glass of margarita, 'te quiero, tequila', which translates to ‘I love you, tequila’. Either way, once that phrase leaves your mouth, you know you're in for a hell of a time. And with that very phrase blazing in neon on the wall at Milton's new Mucho Mexicano, it's fair to say the eatery will bring the fiesta. more
Trust us when we say shared dining has never been this exciting. Socarrat Paella Bar takes the traditional Spanish dish and showcases it like no other eatery has done before, while also offering a host of other flavoursome goodies. more

Let's get something straight first up – this is a restaurant, not a typical hotel restaurant. Despite the fact that it adjoins Spring Hill's soon-to-be-opened The Johnson Art Series Hotel, Tumbling Stone holds its own as a stand-alone eatery and bar, which can often be a difficult feat to achieve. Ahead of The Johnson's official opening on Friday September 16 (we'll have more details on that next week), Tumbling Stone has opened its doors early to offer graze-style dining in a laid-back setting. more
