This review is for West End Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, West End QLD

verified email - 12 Apr 2013

It's pretty difficult to find a decent chiropractor with great training, who actually believes in what they do - and it's not just their get rich quick scheme. Brian ticks all the boxes, and he's a fantastic gentleman to boot. He's not entirely old-school, in that he has a few bits and bobs of technology to assist him in his job, but whatever it is that he uses - it works! The prices aren't cheap, but chiropractic never is - and what's $60 for an adjustment when you'd gladly pay $100+ for a good massage? There is an initial large cost for an assessment and then you have to keep on top of it, but chiropractic has helped many people I know to get on top of horrendous pain.

Approximate cost: $60-$80

This review is for Riverbend Books & Teahouse, Bulimba QLD

It really depends when you go to Riverbend as to how run off their feet the staff are, but I would generally say Riverbend is great for a weekend brunch. It's true that the overall clientele is family based, with the older ladies and pram pushers high on the attendance list, but that doesn't stop everyone else from enjoying the deck and bookshop. It's pretty hard to find a great space to kick back and read your book with a nice hot drink (if home just doesn't cut it) - and I think that Riverbend has a nice balance of the most important elements: attentive service, but no harassment, a reasonably priced menu for the goods provided, and a quiet corner away from the hustle & bustle. I know that my MIL won't go near a place if it's not worth it's weight in gold .. Therefore, I'd think a large amount of older women is a pretty darn good endorsement! I love Riverbend for a breakfast, for a brunch, and for a really good book - their bookshop is impeccable and the food (although not huge in variety) is good.

Approximate cost: $15-$30

This review is for Ceylon Inn, Bulimba QLD

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. My partner and I, as well as friends and family, love eating at Ceylon Inn. We eat in, we take away, we love it either way. The service is usually of a very high standard, the decor is very warm and ambient, and although the chairs could probably use a bit of TLC, the whole atmosphere of the restaurant is very cosy and welcoming. It's a great place to enjoy a night out with family and friends, definitely give it a go!

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Sugo Mi, Bulimba QLD

I love Sugo Mi! I've only ever had the pizzas as a main (it's a really extensive menu!), and nothing has ever disappointed! We visit this restaurant regularly and we also visit the deli down the back of the restaurant. I'd recommend both to absolutely everyone - the staff are lovely, the food is amazing, and the atmosphere is also great. Make sure you book over weekends - it packs out super quick!

Fantastic experience every time. Great value for money, staff are lovely and the food is AMAZING, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Very healthy, very tasty, and definitely helps encourage omnivores to look at a transition to a mainly vegetarian lifestyle.

This review is for Wray Organic, Cannon Hill QLD

After absolutely loving Wray for the first six months since it opened, something has gone awry in this store. A number of the staff seem dissatisfied and can't manage a smile, and prices seem to just keep creeping up. The products sold are great - but you definitely pay for it, even considering the price you expect to pay for organic and ethical products. I used to know the cafe staff by name - I don't know what happened to those fantastic staff members, but now I can't even be bothered to go back. Time to lift their game.

This review is for Food Connect, Brisbane QLD

FoodConnect is definitely the best lifestyle choice I've made for myself and my partner - the food is always wonderfully fresh and has always been of a fantastic quality. Customer service from Erin and the team is always exemplary - and the City Cousin network is huge! I would definitely recommend FoodConnect to everyone who is interested.
