Anouk is a cute place in a great location with a great vibe, but food wise I'm just not sold. I've been three times over the last 8 months or so and each time was underwealmed. The food is definitely not bad, don't get me wrong, I don't have any real complaints about it. But Anouk has a reputation for being one of the best breakfast places in Brisbane so I have high expectations. There are a couple of interesting things on the menu but in all the food doesnt seem to be up to date with current trends and quality and execution wise my meals have just been ok. Service is a bit hit and miss too.

I'm not the kind if person to give five out of five lightly, but Rixon deserves it. I honestly can't think of one thing to mark them down on. I went there recently for the first time and had one of the best salon experiences I think I've ever had. It's a beautiful salon with friendly staff and all of the frills (wine, coffee, biscuits) but most importantly, the stylists are great! From what i could gather they're all very experienced and knowledgeable. I was given a proper consultation from my colorist who took the time to spend time with me looking at ideas on his iPad, followed by one of the best cuts I've ever had. And I got the chop.. I mean I went from below my shoulders length hair to a very short asymmetrical bob. Jenna did a fantastic job of it and again took the time to get it right. AND the final cost wasn't half as scary as I expected, very reasonable even for the calibre of salon. Very happy.

Although the service could be a bit better depending on who's on, this new addition to La Trobe Terrace is awesome. Cool fit out, great vibe, good menus and quality of food and good coffee. I live close by and have become a bit if a regular. It's a great all-rounder.. good for Friday and Saturday drinks, great for a weekend brunch and great for a cas group, share style diner. It's a winner.

Love this place. Although its small it packs a punch. The menu is fantastic and all the meals are prepared with quality ingredients. From the service to the decor to all the finer details you notice when you're there, you feel like your at your Mum's house for dinner/brekky... And your Mum is Martha Stewert.

The Bavarian is cool. Impressive decor, views of the river and funky vibe make it a great place to hang out for a drink. Obviously there's a pretty expansive beer list, with good quality imports. And although not the finest food you'll ever eat, its also a good place for some good old fashioned comfort food. Since when was German food fancy anyway?
Highly recommended for groups and/or out of town visitors to show off Brisbane. Slightly on the exey side but that's to be expected considereding its location. All in all a must at least once.

Now, as a lover of traditional Indian food I'm usually opposed to bain marie type places, BUT, as opposed to other places in Brisbane of this type Indian Kitchen is surprisingly good! Quite good actually. And cheap, really cheap! Sometimes on the way home from work I grab a curry for dinner. One meat and one veg dish on rice.. is $8. Otherwise two meat dishes on rice will set you back $12. The curries are really tasty too without just relying on sugar (often way too much in my opinion) to make them taste good. Not the place to go for a hot date but def the place to grab a value for money yumo dinner.

I went here for breakfast recently and had a nice experience. Service was friendly, although we had to ask for most things (menus, water, additional coffees). The food wasn't too bad, I was a bit dissapointed with the lack of Scandinavian options though? I had the breakfast platter which had all the usual Scandinavian items but otherwise there wasn't anything else on the menu traditionally Swedish/Scandinavian? The fit out was cool though and the dinner menu looked great, think I'll have to go back then. It also has a bar and I've been told has a cool vibe at night.

Approximate cost: $17 (breakfast)
