Allpress set to impress with new East Brisbane coffee haven

23 Nov 2017

It’s been 17 years since New Zealand-born coffee mavericks Allpress Espresso made landfall in Australia, and now the acclaimed roaster has come to stake its claim in Brisbane's coffee scene. Allpress Espresso has just opened its own bricks-and-mortar spot in East Brisbane, establishing a proper home from which to spread the good word of coffee. Following on from Allpress Espresso’s interstate locations, Allpress Brisbane is looking to set itself up as a community hub, bringing people together over a shared love of coffee and conversation. more

Great Scott! West End welcomes chic coffee joint Doc Brown

23 Nov 2017

It’s a great time to be a resident of Brisbane’s inner south. We’re seeing a huge boom in the local cafe scene, and Doc Brown is the latest establishment to join the wave. A space so fly you’d swear it was riding a hoverboard, Doc Brown pairs great coffee and a scrumptious menu with shmick fit-out and a dash of retro-cinema cool. At the risk of overdoing it on the Back to the Future references, we’re going to humbly suggest that you hop in your Delorean and make tracks for West End as soon as possible. There’s no need to go 88mph, though – Doc Brown is the perfect place to slow down for a while. more

The Weekend Series: embrace the cob life with five baller cob loaf recipes

23 Nov 2017

Real talk, who can resist the lure of a cob loaf? It’s got all of the elements for a perfect snack – carbs, crunch, a gooey filling and plenty of options to customise. Before iso took hold, the cob was basically the social equivalent of a puppy – if you showed up with one of those bad boys, you’re going to be an absolute lord and everyone is going to want to be your best mate because you’re obviously an individual of fine taste. While we may not be able to hit the park for alfresco fun times at the moment, we can still make a delicious cob to enjoy at home – and here are five delicious variants to get you inspired. more

Margo Restaurant and Bar brings a worldly spin to Paddington’s fine-dining scene

16 Nov 2017

After Paddington mainstay Montrachet closed its doors in anticipation of a move to King Street, the hot topic on everyone’s lips was who would step up and fill the vacant Paddington destination. Americo Fernandes has taken on the challenge, recently opening up Margo Restaurant and Bar in the rustic restaurant space. If you salivate at the sound of a light fusion of European and Asian cuisine, then grab some napkins, mar-go ahead and read on. more

Enjoy gin high tea in the leafy surrounds of West End’s Covent Garden

16 Nov 2017

It was a sad day when Lock'n'Load announced it was closing its doors. The West End institution brought the good times for more than a decade, however with the promise of big things ahead, we couldn’t help but be excited about what the team was planning for the venue. All has now been revealed – Covent Garden has taken over and the space's past identity is a mere memory. more

Simply Buddha-ful – Villa dishes up bowls of nourishment in the heart of Bulimba

16 Nov 2017

Usually when we return from a holiday we feel recharged, serene and content – but never overly eager to return to work. For Coco Bliss head honchos Candice Kemp and Mellita Rayner the duo were itching to get back to the office after some time away, for they had an idea that they simply had to share with Brisbane eaters. Enter Villa – a brand-new healthy outlet dispensing an abundance of Balinese-inspired protein and vegetable-laden bowls, set to give eaters a stellar nutritious savoury option once it opens on Friday November 17. more

Tease your tastebuds at Monty’s Bakehouse in West End

09 Nov 2017

There's something completely intoxicating about the aroma of freshly baked bread. Your nose tingles as you inhale that warm familiar scent, your mouth watering at the thought of the carby goodness that awaits your tastebuds. Let's be real, it's pretty hard to concentrate on anything else once a baked good grabs your attention. Just a word of warning – this exact sensation is going to hit you the moment you step inside Monty's Bakehouse, and you're probably going to want to buy everything that lies before you in the cabinet. Look, we get it. No judgement here. more

Nice buns! Betty’s Burgers & Concrete Co. has arrived in Newstead

09 Nov 2017

There was once a strapping young knight who made a very keen observation that his anaconda does not want none unless one has got buns, hon. We wholeheartedly agree – the anaconda is a metaphor for his insatiable hunger, right? And by buns, he surely meant Betty's Burgers. The much-loved Noosa-born institution has made its way to Newstead for its second Brisbane location, bringing its signature burgers, decadent concretes and moreish sides. more

Walkin’ on sunshine – start your day the right way at Brisbane’s best healthy breakfast spots

09 Nov 2017

Unless you are one of those freakish human garbage disposal-type people whom can eat whatever they wish with no negative physical ramifications (damn you!), one of the inevitabilities of getting older is the quest for health through food. Redirecting your diet to a more wholesome route can often have you feeling like you’re missing out, especially when your pals suggest going out to breakfast and you get stuck watching them chow down on maple-bacon waffles while you poke at a sad-looking bowl of granola. News flash – eating well doesn’t have to be a drag! We’ve rounded up Brisbane’s best healthy breakfast spots that serve up fare so delicious that you won’t even miss your eggs benny. more

Hot summer nights – Two Donkeys puts Spring Hill back on the map with new events series

09 Nov 2017

We’re going to go right ahead and say it – Spring Hill is underrated. The small but mighty suburb often gets overlooked for its neighbouring CBD and Fortitude Valley digs, but this is a grave error. One institution that knows this is Two Donkeys, the chill brunch hub that has been bringing delicious eats and spreading good vibes through Spring Hill since its opening in 2016. Two Donkeys is keen to share its postcode love with the rest of us, launching a brand-new event series that will make it the perfect summer hang.

Woodfired pizzas and rock ‘n’ roll combine at Caxton Street’s Enzo & Sons

02 Nov 2017

The surname Webb has pretty darn instrumental in the rebirth of Caxton Street – bar tsar and restaurateur Jamie Webb is who we all thank for Lefty's Old Time Music Hall and Seymour's Cocktails and Oysters. Caxton Street's latest addition, however, is not the handiwork of Jamie, but rather his clever wife Siarah. This weekend Siarah will present us with the gift of Italian food and a whole lot of spritzes, with her new bar and restaurant Enzo & Sons. more

Make a little mischief at new Coorparoo bar and eatery Beyond the Pale

02 Nov 2017

You may have heard the phrase 'beyond the pale'. In modern language, it refers to behaviour that ventures outside of the bounds of what is considered acceptable – behaviour that's a little bit naughty and mischievous. You know, the kind of cheeky debauchery you might get up to with a little Dutch courage. What you may not know, however, is that the origin of the phrase dates back to 14th Century Ireland. The part of the country that was under English rule was marked by a boundary of stakes or fences, know as the English Pale. Those who travelled outside that boundary, or beyond the pale, were considered uncouth and unacceptable amongst civilisation. more
