I agree with the comment below that Plough provides good Aussie hospitality. Its a great place to meet your friends and caters for large numbers with ease. Great location, close to public transport, and fun night out. Food isn't bad either - standard pub food with generous portions.

Ashbury is a high quality cosmetic clinic. I had a tooth whitening treatment applied and I was happy with the results. Staff are well trained, pleasant and walk you through everything. The place was unpresumptuous, and parking was easy. Good experience.

I received fantastic value from my therapist, who practises underneath her house in Annerley. She has recently moved to Toowoomba, but returns twice weekly to Annerley so look after her Brisbane clients. There is nothing super-fancy here, just a good wax.

Kate, the yoga instructor teaching beginner yoga at the Den, is a very strong, wise and well trained woman. She is a good teacher and manages a large class with ease. The sessions are rewarding but not overly challenging, and she helps you to feel very calm and clear after each session.

We came here on a 'date' (my boyfriend normally takes me to the footy instead!!) and it was a lovely night. The food was good quality, but portions were quite modest for the price. Service was good and it was a nice experience. Would come back, perhaps for the more generous breakfast menu!

These mountain villas provide the perfect getaway to connect with nature and enjoy some peace and quiet. Villas overlook the mountain range, with a lap pool located outside the Lost World Spa (high quality day spa) to watch the sunset. Villas are fully self contained and are pure luxury. What a weekend.

Massive portions and funky upbeat atmosphere...a place to go back to. There are belly dancers there on weekend evenings, and its vibrant entertainment. Good value, and takeaway is offered.

This is a great find on Oxford St and Bulimba. Cafe Citrus offers a fantastic lunch menu, with stacks of gluten free options including gluten free sandwiches, pizzas, pasta and main meals. I love the all day breakfast, with a delicious bircher muesli and a great Canadian breakfast.

This is a great find - just off the main street, so its the word-of-mouth place that the locals rave about. Great pasta, great gnocci, great service. Good range of wine and beers too. Would love to go again.

Zorbas are a very funky, lovely bunch of hairdressers with good skills. They are able to offer suggestions and opinions without being pushy, and the end result is always great. They are less busy than most in the Centre, due to top floor position, and are open late to cater for busy people.
