Funky little cares are a dime a dozen in paddington, but this place has charm and warmth too! The food was great and the service was warm and welcoming, it the show Cheers was set in Australia it would be here. Everyone is friends if you're a local or not.

Approximate cost: $19-$25

Took my girlfriends little sister for a bit of putt putt in Brisbane and ran across an oasis in the middle of the city limits. This green zone on the outskirts of Brisbane's CBD has a fully licensed bar with an amazing outlook! Great for a Sunday session starting point!

Super busy and not just because of its paddington location. This is a fantastic breakfast bar, wade through the trendies with their manicured pooches and you get a fantastic spin on your breakfast favorites. The colorful,concoctions tempted me to try their savory mince with avocado and sour cream.......amazing! And although Bacon and eggs is a favorite of mine, I was left with no regrets but still leftovers on the plate, as the serving size is amazing as well. So get up early and wade through the trendies......or take your own pup along as they alow pets in the outside seating and get amongst a fantastic breakfast treat.

Approximate cost: $15-$20

This trendy oyster bar has attitude in spades. I had the fish pot pie with a bottle of wine! Great ambience that takes you far away from the inner city of Brisbane. Surrounded by an abundance of cultural restaurants, this is an amazing hub for foodies and those that want a new experience.

Approximate cost: $20-$30

I had high hope of this cafe, the food was good and the price was reasonable. I had been warned over how bus this cafe can become but entering on a not so busy day we were confronted with a cabinet of delectable foodstuffs that tempted me more than I could bare. Ready to devour all that I saw, and probably to regret it later the disorganized layout did not allow any order for service and hence led to frustration. The food in the end was good and well priced, it was only the delicatessen style service, without a number system that frustrated to the point of making me think twice to enter this cafe again.

Approximate cost: $8-$16

Punjabi is the best when it comes to value, speed and flavours! The chicken tikka masala and the lamb cutlet entree finished off with a garlic and cheese naan is unbeatable in Brisbane City without a doubt! Do yourself a favor and try it yourself!

Approximate cost: $15-$18

I guess we are jaded when it comes to sushi these days but although I was acknowledged on entering and served my drinks. From this point I was left to my own devices even though I was constantly attempting to order items that were not on the train. Pricing was good, sushi quality was good and fresh but presentation was lacking in the sushi. I will still return.

Approximate cost: $3-$5

This unassuming gem in the trendy woolloongabba district has bucket loads of character. It's dimly lit and rustic nature combined with freshly Baked goods from the home style bakery upstairs makes this place the perfect coffee and cake stop! The mains are good but serving size and price left me feeling a bit hard done by, I got the sirloin steak which was tender and succulent but once devoured I was left wanting more. I did finish with a melting moment, that left me wanting more and more....

Approximate cost: $30-$40

Hidden gem in paddington, this quaint little Italian restaurant is packed full of character. This great little newly opened restaurant has an amazingly simple menu packed full of mouthwatering dishes. The service was great and we were met with authentic Italian service, and live vocalists even on a Tuesday night, but be sure to book, we luckily got a table but after us the place packed out!

Approximate cost: $19-$25

This great little cinemas/bar is tucked away in Rosalie catering for the more cultured cinema patron. This quaint little cinema negates the need to spen $40 on Gold class tickets if you dont mind rubbing shoulders with others to indulge in food and beverages in more intimate sized cinemas. My favorite feature was definitely the drinks waiter button that can enable you to get refills without having to miss you movie.
